ScoutMy husband and I rented a campground flat in December. It was on the water, had a grill, electrcitiy, fire pit, tent, running water and was pet friendly. We brought our kayaks and played around. Had a lot of space to walk our dogs. It was really a great time!
GuideThis is a very nice campground which is part of the Miami-Dade County park system. It is close to the Encore Everglades park (about 4 miles) so we stayed here after we departed. The campground is divided into pods and each pod has about 15 or so sites. We were in pod 4 site 20 (420 lol). We booked this camp with the intent to stay for a month or longer as my husband had an opportunity to Captain boats in Miami.
The park was very quiet. Most of the campers were retirees, a few families with kids, but we were there in early January. The grounds are nicely maintained with lots of places to walk and open space with trees. They don't allow dogs off-leash and although it is adjacent to the rest of the Larry & Penny park, dogs are not even allowed in the main park, at all. We did however find a few dog parks within four miles or so which were nice.
They have a very nice pool which was open daily Wed- Sunday 11am - 5pm. It was raining and rather dreary during our stay so we didn't use the pool. They have a nice Clubhouse and it looked okay with tables, chairs, books, puzzles, but again very quiet. Not many activities except for a few and we didn't stay long enough to participate. After a week, we decided to make moves back home to Lake Tahoe. It was unseasonably cold, raining so no boat work and not an ideal spot for the dogs. They don't have WiFi and since we were planning a longer stay, purchased the Starlink system since I work remote during the winter. Starlink worked great, but costs $500+ to get started and then $120 or so a month. If you are looking for an affordable long term/monthly stay, it is great. The rates were $850 a month for full hook-ups. They had last minute space available, too.
If you are in the area, check out the Miami Zoo. We were there when they had the "Zoo Lights" a super fun evening event. They have other events at the Zoo and lots to do nearby. You are closer to town than Everglades Encore, but still close to the agricultural area. I recommend but not as fun or as many activities as some other places.
Guidesites: no pets allowed. welcoming atmosphere. mostly shaded. near residential neighborhood but quiet. flat sites. amenities: large bathhouse. clean. other attractions: zoo. beach/waterslide. I would go back again.
GuideThis park was rated as pet friendly in the TT system, turns out it isn't. Now with under 2 weeks to go, we need to make new reservations and may have to be over an hour out from where we need to be.
Phone calls galore trying to find a new site.
GuideSawgrass Recreation area primary businesses are airboat tours and petting zoo, however they have a small primitive campsite at the back as well. I was trying to ride my bicycle from Ft. Laudardale to South Bay, but the head wind was so strong that I was moving at a snail's pace. Luckily, this place is conviniently located just off the state route 27, an oasis of civilization on a 30 mile strech of nothingness. the camground is only open during dry season, which is late winter.
Guide3 campers and two RVs crammed into overflow. NO full hookups as indicated over the phone. Showers NOT in the “bath house” adjacent to these crummy sites. The dumpsite is between the office and the fence. This requires you to back into position or drive down a narrow path and make 3 tight turns. Florida has NO dump sites at rest or service areas! What????
GuideI am writing this review to shield anyone who is camping & going through a difficult time in life, because no one deserves to be treated as we were. Unfortunately, I would never stay at this KOA ever again. It makes me very sad & upset to know that such unkind, greedy people run this campground- one of the few KOA’s in all of Florida. My family and I are going through a very rough time due to illness. We come here to be at a family wedding, to forget, to be happy & comfortable. We are big travelers all across the continental United States, and have stayed at nearly every KOA in the entire country. This is the first and hopefully last time I have ever had to write a review to protect people from coming to a campground. If you HAVE to stay here do not stay in spot 89. The KOA workers walk dogs they cannot control, that bark VERY loudly at 8AM. And all throughout the day, dogs walking past and barking. Absolute torture. We were charged for having 2 cats, $10. Never been charged for two cats that don’t leave the camper but, okay. When we got to the site, we discovered that we paid $120 for a spot with an enormous pile of dirt & construction on it. Not being dramatic. But honestly, I really didn’t care about that much. What bothered me was how they treated people. I pride myself on always being kind to people because you don’t know what anyone is going through. What bothered me was a man with facial hair on a golf cart telling me (who owns the camper & paid for the spot) to leave immediately because my sisters rental car was “not registered at the office”. He saw us come in and drove all the way back to the office to look at our registered cars. How bored and and angry at life do you have to be to care about that? Just wow. He tried to charge us money to register my pregnant sister coming to visit us for 2 hours because we “didn’t register her rental car at the office?” I have never experienced anything like that. Turns out there was one nice woman who is shorter and has dark brown hair in a ponytail, she was kind enough to tell us the TRUTH that we just had to park it in a designated spot. LOL. Why wouldn’t you tell someone that in the first place? Because you can get money out of them the first way. How cruel and greedy is that? I will never associate myself with this campground ever again. The nasty looks we received from staff during our stay was laughable. I look forward to sending a very accurate depiction of our lovely stay at the Davie KOA to the KOA Owners Association Board of Directors. I hope you desperately unhappy people can heal yourselves and find true happiness & love in this life.
ScoutcI have had a problem with campgrounds in South Florida. Either they are flat, hot, and poorly appointed or they are tree covered, glade like ambience, and buggy as hell. C.B. Smith is the former.
The tenting area is characerless, treeless, the facilities are far removed and poorly maintained, in spite of being relatively new, and not well policed.
The RV section, which I never use (I am a tenter), is more inviting. It is shaded, well kept, and visually appealing. The facilities are more accessible and well maintained, and the grounds are kept clean and visually appealing. There is easy access to water and sewerage, and I occasionally see park personel helping with hookups.
There is easy access to shopping, it is only 12 miles from the beach, and there is a multiscreen theatre for those rainy summer days. In the park there is a water park, an outside "gym", mini-golf, batting cages and driving range. There are many gazebos with tables and grills for group picnicking, There is a well groomed, paved path that winds it way through the park and a perimeter road that circles the park, ideal for bike riding.
For me, the tenting area has one appeal I can't discount. It is very close to my home. When I just want a couple of days out of the house, I can walk there.
The prices are in line with South Florida campgrounds, from $25.00 a night for primitive or "Preserve camping", an area with electric, water, better access to facilities, concrete pads and gazebos, to $40.00 for the RV area.
TravelerThis campground is only an hour away from most spots in South Florida, but it feels much further removed. We were able to get a reservation for tent/van camping the same day. There are obviously some folks who have planted down long-term here, and it helps the campground feel like a community. The gorgeous water views and walking trail are the perfect way to spend an early morning. I look forward to coming back here, it is a real gem for South Florida residents.
Coconut Creek sits within Broward County in southern Florida's subtropical climate zone, where average summer temperatures reach 90°F with high humidity. Campsites in this region offer various dog friendly accommodations ranging from primitive tent sites to full-hookup RV lots with concrete pads. Several campgrounds near Coconut Creek maintain specialized pet relief areas and dedicated walking paths where dogs can exercise during morning and evening hours when temperatures are cooler.
Fishing opportunities: Markham Park Campground offers fishing access directly from waterfront sites where campers can catch freshwater species. "We've got the water way right behind us with a wide open grassy area. Great for fishing or if you've got a jet ski you can easily get on and off right there," notes Jamie F., adding that "the water is much deeper than one would think."
Mountain biking trails: Several parks maintain dedicated paths for cycling enthusiasts seeking varied terrain. "Lots of room to roam here. Great mountain bike trails, lakes, woods, disc golf, flora and fauna," writes Jeffrey W. about Hugh Taylor Birch State Park, which offers trails alongside its intercoastal waterway.
Local festivals: Check event schedules at larger county parks which host regular cultural events. "We stumbled on a Renaissance Festival" at Topeekeegee Yugnee Park Campground, according to Bernadette P., who was "pleasantly surprised by this park" during their stay.
Urban convenience: Many appreciate the ability to camp without disconnecting completely from city amenities. "Campground in the city, great guest services, friendly staff. Near grocery store, and everything!" explains Milagros B. about Paradise Island RV Resort, which maintains full hookup sites with concrete pads.
Security presence: Several campgrounds maintain 24-hour monitoring for guest safety. Topeekeegee Yugnee Park has "very well lit at night with security," according to Michael F., who noted there was even "an onsite police staying in the very first spot" during his visit.
Water activities: Multiple sites offer direct access to waterways for recreation. The Davie/Fort Lauderdale KOA includes "a massive park that is perfect for all family members" according to Carlton A., who enjoyed "looking at and feeding the ducks and turtles" in the on-site pond with his grandson.
Train noise: Be prepared for occasional rail disturbances at certain locations. Darren F. mentions that Topeekeegee Yugnee Park Campground "does sit next to a train track, I believe it's a commuter line so there is an early train 4am which is startling."
Park hour restrictions: Many county parks have strict closing times. "The park closes at 8, you can still enter through the exit gate until midnight and then have to call security to get in/out," reports Darren F. about Topeekeegee Yugnee Park.
Site availability challenges: Several popular destinations fill quickly during peak season. Bob S. notes that Markham Park Campground offers "excellent Broward County park with full RV facilities" but during COVID, he found "bathrooms closed" and altered access to certain amenities.
Youth group options: Some state parks offer specialized camping areas for organized groups with children. Hugh Taylor Birch State Park has dedicated youth group camping "overlooking the intercoastal waterway," though Jennifer L. cautions that "the sites are wide open with no privacy next to the access road."
Primitive camping sections: Larger parks maintain dedicated primitive areas that work well for family groups. Ioana Z. stayed at "The Heron preserve" in Markham Park, describing it as "designated 'primitive' but it does have full single person male & female restrooms, as well as electricity and water. It has plenty of picnic tables, a path to the lake, and woods to explore via trails."
Historical exploration: Some parks feature historical elements kids can discover. Ioana Z. notes "there are some pretty interesting pieces of history leftover behind the camping field" at Markham Park Campground, making it "a lovely place to wake up to in the morning" and "a great place for kids to repeat visit and build memories."
Site selection considerations: At many dog friendly campgrounds near Coconut Creek, location within the park affects noise levels. At Sunshine Holiday Encore, JB found that "site 286 was very noisy next to the restaurant businesses," suggesting interior sites might be preferable for noise-sensitive campers.
Space constraints: Older campgrounds may present navigation challenges for larger rigs. Keith F. reports about Encore Sunshine Holiday that "I could hardly get my RV and Car Trailer through the campground," though he noted that "restrooms were great and staff were helpful."
Backing assistance: Some parks offer help with positioning vehicles into tight spots. At Davie/Fort Lauderdale KOA, Kristina D. appreciated that "staff were very helpful getting backed in and set up," though she noted downsides including that "all the sites are so close together" and "the WI-FI is the worst of any KOA I have been to."
