12

Site 12 is a backcountry campsite in Everglades National Park, reachable by paddling through the park's interconnected water trails. Like its neighboring numbered sites, it provides a paddle-in rest point for travelers exploring the Everglades by human-powered watercraft, far from the roads and ranger stations that mark the park's more developed areas. The rhythm of Everglades backcountry travel — planning around tides, watching the weather, navigating by landmarks and compass — is part of what makes the experience so distinct. A night at Site 12 places you in genuine, unplugged wilderness. A backcountry permit from the National Park Service is required.
