What you need to know
In the fishing hamlet of Everglades City, the gateway to the Ten Thousand Islands, the Everglades Seafood Festival is the whole town's weekend: stone crab and gulf shrimp straight off the boats, live country music, a carnival and crafts along Copeland Avenue, officially set for February 19-21, 2027. It is a natural RV destination in peak Everglades dry season — Collier-Seminole State Park has an RV campground about 15 minutes north on US-41, and the same trip pairs with airboat country, the Big Cypress boardwalks and the Wilderness Waterway. This is genuine backcountry Florida, not a theme-park version of it.

Insider tip
