Shark River Chickee Campground

Shark River Chickee is a remote backcountry campsite within Everglades National Park accessible only by watercraft (canoes, kayaks, or shallow-draft motorboats), featuring an elevated wooden platform with roof shelter and composting toilet situated in dense red mangrove forest along the Little Shark River.

This self-sufficient camping experience requires visitors to bring all water, food, and supplies, with no amenities beyond the platform and toilet, and reservations through the Everglades wilderness permit system are mandatory.

The location offers excellent wildlife viewing opportunities and is ideal for paddlers and anglers seeking a remote wilderness experience, though strong tidal currents and abundant insects should be anticipated.
