Backcountry North River Chickee — Everglades National Park

Accessible only by kayak or canoe, this backcountry chickee sits on elevated wooden platforms above North River's waters. The National Park Service maintains this primitive camping structure as part of the Everglades wilderness paddling trail system. Campers must bring all water and supplies, as no amenities exist beyond the platform itself. The site requires advance reservations and backcountry permits from Everglades National Park.

Plan for self-sufficiency and pack out all waste when camping here.
