Alligator Creek

About this site

Alligator Creek Campsite is a remote backcountry ground campsite located on marl prairie along a canal section of Alligator Creek, about 100 feet from Garfield Bight in Everglades National Park. Accessible at all tides via the West Lake Canoe Trail (motors prohibited past West Lake). Florida Bay access limited due to shallow waters during strong North winds or low tide. Motors allowed on Florida Bay route. Foot trails overgrown and not recommended. Additional Info: Campers will likely be alone except for crocodilians often sunning at the landing. Mosquitoes abundant year-round. Obtain maps of Flamingo Area Canoe Trails and local knowledge from rangers.
