Routing: Florida City area to Everglades/Flamingo

We have reservations for Flamingo Campground at Everglades NP. I'm looking for advice from experienced travelers who have navigated through the Florida City area to get to the park. I have been through Florida City in a non-towing situation. My recall is some intersections are congested. (imagine that in Florida) We have a 38 ft. fifth wheel. The itinerary will start from the Naples area so we tentatively plan to approach the Florida City area by coming in on Tamiami Trail/US 41 to FL 997/Krome Ave. I would appreciate any directions and insight one can share.

    Follow Krome to W. Palm Drive in Florida City. Turn west (R) on to W. Palm Drive till you get to "Robert is Here Fruit Stand" where you'll make a left (south) on to County Road #9336. Follow 9336 into the park entrance and on down to Flamingo.

    IIRC, not a lot of places to stop with a big rig along 41 if need be.
    Personally, I would take I-75 to US 27 and then south.
