Utilitarian is probably the best word I can come up with to describe RV camping at Flamingo campground. It is equipped with all of the amenities you'd need and expect including showers. A lot of the campsites had a fire ring which did help a bit with the bugs at night, and once the sun went down the mosquitoes were out in force. We certainly didn't do ourselves any favors there with the television on though. There is a shop by the marina where you can purchase basic supplies, gas and a restaurant within walking distance where you can get seafood & burgers and so forth that weren't half bad. Our reason for camping there was essentially just to be there early for back to back fishing days and for that it served its purpose well. It probably isn't a place I'd go back to just for the sake of camping itself though.
