Kermit ' s Swamp Kermit ' s Swamp is one of Kermit the Frog ' s homes . It was first shown in " The Muppet Movie " , and has since made several subsequent appearances . Although " The Muppet Movie " does not specify the Swamp ' s location , many reviews of the film , including that of Vincent Canby for " The New York Times " and an August 1978 article in " TIME " magazine , referred to it as a " Georgia swamp . " A 1978 draft of the script referred to the Swamp simply as " a swamp in the deep south . " Some evidence suggests that the Swamp is actually Okefenokee Swamp , a large wetland that straddles the border between Georgia and Florida . For example , the comic strip " Pogo " , which is said to have " influenced Jim Henson ' s development of Muppet characters , " was set in and around Okefenokee Swamp . Furthermore , in " The Muppet Show " , Kermit ' s nephew Robin appears as a member of the Precision Drill Team from the Okefenokee Pack 12 of the Frog Scouts of America . Finally , one installment of " The Muppets " comic strip shows Kermit and Miss Piggy visiting Okefenokee Swamp to meet Kermit ' s relatives . In the distance , another frog waves to Kermit and Piggy in apparent recognition . Nevertheless , other plausible locations of Kermit ' s Swamp remain . For example , in " The Muppets at Walt Disney World " , Kermit brings the Muppet gang to visit his aunts and uncles in Paradise Swamp , Florida ( adjacent to Walt Disney World ) , and says that this swamp is where he " grew up . " In contrast , " Kermit ' s Swamp Years " has the swamp situated in Mississippi , just outside of Leland ( which is backed up in " The Muppets Character Encyclopedia " as Kermit ' s birthplace ) . According to a 2012 statement by Kermit , Frogtown Hollow is right upstream from his swamp ; making Kermit and Emmet Otter neighbors . When hosting " The Tonight Show " , Kermit said he doesn ' t think that his mother would be watching , as he wasn ' t sure if they had a TV back in the swamp . The swamp was the main setting for the picture book " Kermit , Save the Swamp ! " , and it appears as a race track in " Muppet RaceMania " . Residents of the Swamp . In addition to various frogs and alligators , infividual swamp residents include :
