The "Everglades Camp" began back in the 1970s as a place for a small handful of adventurous men to disconnect the busyness of life, rest, and pursue uncommon adventure. Over the years, access to this camp has been limited to an invitation only basis. In the summer of 2025, Big Cypress Refuge was officially launched with the goal of carrying on what the "Everglades Camp" has always been - disconnect from the busyness of life and spend time in one of the most pristine and untouched areas Florida has to offer. You'll experience rest and unique adventure, at the intersection of your story and Big Cypress Refuge.
