Big park
This was your typical RV site, with spots right next to each other but very nice. The RV camping is in the very back of the park so it is a bit of a drive but right next to water.

Camping near Coconut Creek, Florida ranges from tent sites in wooded urban parks to full-hookup RV parks within Broward County. The area includes notable campgrounds such as Quiet Waters Park in nearby Deerfield Beach and Easterlin Park Campground in Oakland Park. Most facilities provide developed campsites with amenities rather than primitive camping, reflecting the suburban nature of the region. These parks serve as accessible getaways without requiring significant travel from the metropolitan area, with several offering full hookups for RVs alongside tent camping areas.
Campgrounds in this region operate year-round due to South Florida's tropical climate, though summer months bring higher humidity and occasional afternoon thunderstorms. Most sites require reservations, particularly during winter when seasonal visitors increase demand. The campgrounds feature varying levels of privacy and natural surroundings despite their urban location. Full hookup services for water, sewer, and electricity are common, with many parks offering 50-amp service for larger RVs. Security gates and access codes are standard features at most parks, providing safety in these metropolitan-adjacent locations. A visitor to Easterlin Park noted, "It's like a little forest in the city" despite proximity to Interstate 95.
Campers report finding unexpected natural settings within these urban parks. Several campgrounds near Coconut Creek feature wooded sites that create privacy between neighbors through heavy vegetation. Easterlin Park provides a surprising forest-like environment with disc golf, trails, and a pond with wildlife. Markham Park and Quiet Waters Park both received positive reviews for their water features and outdoor recreation opportunities. While road noise affects some locations due to proximity to major highways, the convenience of nearby amenities balances this drawback. Train noise impacts Easterlin Park in particular, with one camper mentioning, "Train, plane and traffic noise was nonstop and very loud." Several private RV resorts like Aztec RV Resort cater to luxury RV camping with upscale amenities, receiving high marks from visitors seeking more refined accommodations within the urban environment.

Cool place
This was a county park and has 88 sites. You are surrounded by water with lots of wildlife. There are several circles of sites which are very close together but very nice

No RVs, No Tent Setup, No Problem
Tucked away in the bustling suburbs of Deerfield Beach, Quiet Waters Park offers one of South Florida's more unusual camping experiences. This sprawling 427-acre Broward County park features sparkling lakes, tropical greenery and enough outdoor recreation to keep just about everyone entertained. But here's the twist: forget about bringing your RV or even pitching your own tent! Instead, the campground features 25 preassembled canvas tents and two traditional tepees, all situated on a scenic lakeside peninsula. With kayaking, fishing, mountain biking, cable wakeboarding and a seasonal water playground, there's certainly no shortage of ways to work up an appetite before gathering around the campfire.
The campground itself is relatively small and refreshingly uncomplicated. Each 10-by-10-foot canvas tent sits on an elevated wooden platform, helping keep campers off the damp Florida ground, while individual sites feature electricity, running water, picnic tables, charcoal grills and fire rings. The two tepees offer a fun alternative, particularly for families with adventurous youngsters. Restrooms with hot showers are conveniently located within the camping area, and there's even a sand volleyball court and horseshoe pit for a little friendly competition. While the grounds are attractive and the lakeside setting is lovely, don't expect luxury accommodations or complete seclusion. This is camping with a few creature comforts, not 'glamping' at the Ritz-Carlton!
There are a couple of important considerations before booking. First, you'll need to bring your own bedding and camping essentials, mosquitoes can be relentless during warmer months, and South Florida's humidity doesn't magically disappear just because you're sleeping under canvas. Secondly, there are absolutely no RV campsites, making this a destination exclusively for tent and tepee enthusiasts. Nevertheless, for families, first-time campers and anyone seeking an easy introduction to outdoor living, Quiet Waters offers a wonderfully different experience. Third, if you are thinking of booking one of the teepees as a novelty experience, you should, but be aware, there's a reason why Native Americans generally didn't use teepees in FL - there's very little ventilation, so at least during the summer months, you'll want to avoid these particular accommodations.
Insider's Tip: (1) If you want an absolute beautiful sunset view directly from inside the canvas tent you booked for the night or your nearby picnic table, then book one of the sites that sit on the northern edge of the small peninsula of campsites; (2) There's slightly more breeze that blows into your thick canvas tent if you are on the southern perimeter of the peninsula - I booked site #21 and experienced GREAT views of the water, had decent breezes (but still needed the aid of my electric jumbo fan); (3) If you are thinking about bringing your bike or hiking shoes, you absolutely should AND your swimming shorts as the cable skiing adventure is WELL WORTH IT - I wished I had known this was here before I arrived here otherwise I would have come prepared; and (4) The CG staff here are FIRST RATE, so when you are booking, be sure to follow their recommendations and advice - perhaps the biggest tip I could give you is to download the APP before you arrive to allow for a seamless gate entry experience, even after dark.
Happy Camping!

County campground
This is a Miami safe county campground with a lot of rules. FHUs, big rig friendly, friendly staff, clean facilities. Laundry and even has a clothesline. Big swimming pool,no lifeguards, ADA compliant. On the pricier side buy finding it normal for southern Florida campgrounds. I picked up an entire grocery bag of trash from our site upon arrival. Park allows long term stays

Has everything/ near everything
Staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Two pools kept very clean. They pick up your trash at your site daily. Have packages/mail sent/pick up in office. Sites are close together with neighbor's rv 3ft from yours and hookups are on the wrong side. I had no problem setting up(routed water & sewer hose around the back of my rv and the electric i passed under it using one of my crutches to pull the cord from under the rv! I absolutely will return!

Food Forest Utopia
Flies , rats, mosquitoes
The place is gross and dirty, not what it says it is, the washer and dryer are so old and rusted, the bathrooms are gross, and rats everywhere or girls mice from the pigs. The chickens are always sick, and just the flies alone will carry you away it is annoying. The lady jen is a complete psycho and you will not be happy out here. They say about fruits and this that and the other, please do not be fooled it's a junkyard full of weeds and is gross. The place should be condemed actually.

Old Florida Charm
Nice wildlife area with tons of hiking and mudding trails. Campsites are massive and can accommodate many vehicles/tents/rvs at once. You will need a free permit when reserving your site, which can be found on their website. The entrance fee is $6 per vehicle or $3 per person, or free if you have a Management Area Permit. I stayed at sites A and B with B being the better if the two since it had access to a covered area and floating dock. Note: you will hear freight trains and Pratt & Whitney's engine testing throughout the night, so bring something to cover your ears if you're a light sleeper. T-Mobile becomes spottier the deeper in you go. Campsites are located near the north entrance, so if you don't want to drive for 30+ min through the park, DO NOT enter from the east entrance.
