Pink Jeep Campground

Pink Jeep Campground offers a rugged, authentic wilderness experience nestled deep within the Bear Island Unit of the Big Cypress National Preserve. Situated at an elevation of just 9 feet, this primitive federal site immerses visitors in the unique, low-lying landscape of the Florida backcountry. It is an ideal destination for those seeking solitude and a direct connection to nature, far removed from the bustle of typical tourist areas.

This site is strictly for the well-prepared adventurer. Facilities are limited to vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables, providing the bare essentials for a remote stay. Because the area is accessible only via foot, bicycle, or ORV, campers must be self-sufficient and prepared for the challenges of backcountry living. Fishing access and nearby hiking trails offer plenty of opportunities to explore the surrounding terrain.

This campground is best suited for experienced campers who are comfortable with primitive conditions and backcountry regulations. Access requires an ORV permit for motorized vehicles, along with a mandatory backcountry permit. Please ensure you contact the permit office at 239-631-9988 in advance to secure your gate combination and necessary documentation, as cell service is limited.
