Markham Park Campground's pet-friendly sites accommodate both tent and RV campers with full hookups including water, electric, and sewer connections. The park permits dogs throughout the camping area with standard leash requirements. Davie/Fort Lauderdale KOA welcomes pets with designated walking areas and maintains a clean environment for animal guests. Quiet Waters Park also allows pets with specific designated areas for dog walking. Paradise Island RV Resort and Topeekeegee Yugnee Park Campground both offer pet-friendly accommodations with varying amenities. Most campgrounds in the area require pets to remain on leash at all times, with some providing waste stations for convenient cleanup. Campers report that Markham Park provides ample space to walk dogs with peaceful surroundings and attentive park rangers.
Several campgrounds near Coral Springs feature walking trails suitable for dog exercise. Aztec RV Resort allows pets but maintains stricter policies regarding where animals can be within the property. Yacht Haven Park & Marina accommodates pets in their tent sites, RV spaces, and cabin rentals. C.B. Smith Park Campground offers reasonable rates for pet owners with access to paved walking paths ideal for dog walking. Some campgrounds like Paradise Island enforce quiet hours that help manage barking issues. The large open field at Miami Everglades RV Resort provides space where some visitors exercise their dogs off-leash, though policies vary by location. Visitors with pets should note that Larry & Penny Thompson Park explicitly prohibits pets according to multiple reviews, despite appearing in pet-friendly listings. Temperature considerations are important when camping with dogs in this region, as summer heat can be intense on paved surfaces.

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.
GuideWe stayed thirteen nights at this park. We really enjoyed the stay and recommend. The campsites are mostly nice. There are a lot of seasonal campers and it seems those sites are nicer. The sites closer to the cabin area are closer together. I wouldn't recommend this campsite for actual campsite, but rather the excellent location and fun activities and amenities of the park.
The park has lots to do and while dated, it is kept in good shape. The pool is lovely with lounge chairs, palm trees and a tropical feel. They have a hot tub, too. Everything clean and had a resort-feel. There are an abundance of activities: pickle ball, shuffleboard, a nice mini-golf course, walking trail, clubhouse, fire pits and large open grassy space.
We have two active dogs and they have a huge field where we were able to run our dogs off-leash and chase the frisbee. I am not sure if it is allowed, but there were others as well so seemed okay. This was a real benefit when camping with pets that like to run.
The park is in a beautiful, agricultural area in the town of Redlands. It is very tropical with farms, nurseries and lots of tropical fruit stands and interesting parks. It feels rural but it is close enough to town to go to the Miami beaches or other activities. If you go, check out all the agricultural farms, the Fruit and Spice stand, the 'Robert is Here' fruit stand and the Knaups Berry Farm for world class cinnamon rolls. The lines were too long for us to wait, but we heard they were the best.
This is one of the most friendly parks I have stayed. We were there on Christmas and New Years and had a total blast. They had music, karaoke, dancing and potluck dinners. The staff was nice too, we met Jason who was super helpful. My friend flew in to visit and she rented one of their deluxe cabins. It was really nice, with a fireplace, fenced patio, loft, kitchen. The entire experience at this resort was enjoyable and felt like being at camp. Highly recommend a visit.
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.
Coral Springs camping options provide convenient access to South Florida's urban parks and waterways. Located within Broward County's flat terrain, these campgrounds sit just 13 feet above sea level with year-round subtropical temperatures. Summer humidity requires proper planning with temperatures regularly exceeding 90°F between June and September.
Fishing opportunities: Markham Park Campground offers waterfront access where some sites back directly onto deeper-than-expected waterways. "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. There are gators in the water which is much deeper than one would think," notes Jamie F. about her experience at Markham Park Campground.
Mountain biking trails: The area features unexpected terrain options for cyclists seeking outdoor recreation. "Lots of room to roam here. Great mountain bike trails, lakes, woods, disc golf, flora and fauna," reports Jeffrey W. who appreciated the diverse activity options.
Water recreation: Quiet Waters Park offers kayaking and other water activities in a convenient urban setting. "My husband and I rented a campground flat in December. It was on the water, had a grill, electricity, fire pit, tent, running water and was pet friendly. We brought our kayaks and played around," shares Ashley J. about her stay at Quiet Waters Park.
Large open spaces: C.B. Smith Park Campground provides ample room despite its urban setting. "The sunsets over the water are spectacular. Even though I'm a local, you never get tired of watching them. My site was private and (mostly) clean," writes Suzanne R. about C.B. Smith Park Campground.
Observatory access: Astronomy enthusiasts can take advantage of unique nighttime viewing opportunities at select parks. "For south florida, its about as good as it gets. Also has a nice observatory on saturday nights to visit," mentions Robert D. about the special features at Markham Park Campground.
Pool amenities: Many campgrounds near Coral Springs offer swimming options for cooling off in the Florida heat. "Campground in the city, great guest services, friendly staff. Near grocery store, and everything! Full hookup sites, spots are big and concrete roads, amenities like restrooms and showers are cleans, the pool is nice!" says Milagros B. about her experience at Paradise Island RV Resort.
Train noise considerations: Some parks have nearby railroad tracks that can create noise disturbances. "Clean park friendly staff. Great amenities. There are not many downsides two that I want to discuss. The campground does sit next to a train track i believe its a commuter line so there is an early train 4am which is startling," warns Darren F. about Topeekeegee Yugnee Park Campground.
Park closure times: Urban parks often have strict gate closure policies. "Other downside is park closes at 8, you can still enter through the exit gate until midnight and then have to call security to get in/out," Darren F. continues about Topeekeegee Yugnee Park.
Mixed camping experiences for tent campers: While RV sites typically offer full amenities, tent sites may have different conditions. "We are tent campers and feel a bit out of place around all the RVs. Sewage and electrical connection available at sites, as well as water. The bathrooms are decent enough and locked with a door code," reports Teala S. about the tent camping experience.
Water park access: Families can take advantage of on-site water recreation at select parks. "The park itself is beautiful, with lots of shaded areas, clean facilities, and easy access to nature trails, bike paths, and water activities. What I loved most was how much there is to do right on site," shares Luis V. about Markham Park.
Playground facilities: Some parks offer dedicated play areas for children. "We stayed in the back behind the lake and it was very quiet/family friendly. The lake/dock area is beautiful, and there's a massive playground across from the campground in the main park," notes Kelsey P. from Yacht Haven Park & Marina.
Youth-friendly areas: Several parks feature designated youth camping sections with specific amenities. "Was a part of a large organized group of campers staying in The Heron preserve. The section is 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," explains Ioana Z. about her youth group experience.
Site selection advice: Many dog-friendly campgrounds near Coral Springs offer varying site qualities. "Called and got all my questions answered. Went into the office and got a map of the available sites. They also had photos of the spots of you didn't want to do the driving. Choose spot B3 and i think we got the absolute best spot there was," advises Jamie F.
Full hookup benefits: RVers appreciate the comprehensive utility connections available at most parks. "The campground was very clean with full hookups and sewer directly at our camp site," reports H.M. about C.B. Smith Park Campground, highlighting the conveniences available.
Security features: Many Coral Springs area campgrounds provide enhanced security measures. "The perimeter of the area is lined with a sturdy fence that can technically be closed via gate. We always felt safe, and would definitely return," shares Ioana Z., noting the safety features that benefit RV campers with valuable equipment.
