Joe River Chickee Campground

Joe River Chickee is a double elevated platform campsite located on the east bank of Joe River's mouth in Everglades National Park, accessible by canoe, kayak, or powerboat at all tides.

The scenic cove offers a sheltered camping experience with vault toilet facilities and is reached via the Wilderness Waterway through Oyster Bay, providing a protected paddling route compared to the rougher waters of Whitewater Bay.

A backcountry permit is required, and campers should prepare for insects due to tall trees blocking most breezes.
