The Best Secret Spots in America’s National Parks

Everglades National Park, Florida

The well-known Everglades National Park spans 1.5 million acres and includes both saltwater and freshwater ecosystems. Hire a nautical guide and travel deep inside the drifting mangrove trees. There you’ll discover a few little known but still historical “chickee” campsites.

Accessible only via boat, they are raised wooden covered docks that for hundreds of years were used as courier stops. Camp there and take in the sights and sounds of the life within the trees, water, and even the air.
