RV campgrounds near Doral, Florida provide access to both urban amenities and outdoor recreation opportunities within a 30-mile radius. Most parks in this region sit at elevations below 10 feet above sea level, making them susceptible to seasonal flooding during hurricane season from June through November. Cell service remains consistent throughout the area with Verizon and AT&T offering the strongest signals for remote workers staying at these locations.
What to do
Explore Everglades National Park: Located 35 miles southwest of Doral, this vast wetland ecosystem offers wildlife viewing, hiking trails, and ranger-led programs. Southern Comfort RV Resort provides convenient access. "We stayed for a week. Not many frills, certainly not a resort... but as a relatively affordable base of vacation operations it was good. Close to the Keys, Everglades, Biscayne and shopping," notes reviewer Rob K.
Visit fruit stands: Robert Is Here, a famous fruit stand near Miami Everglades RV Resort, offers tropical fruits and milkshakes. "Don't miss it!" advises Jennifer A., who stayed at Encore Miami Everglades while exploring the area.
Attend local events: The Homestead-Miami Speedway hosts NASCAR races throughout the year. "It gets crowded during the NASCAR race as the Homestead track is 5 miles down the road," warns Amber H. about timing your stay at Southern Comfort RV Resort.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Many campgrounds maintain air-conditioned restrooms and showers despite the Florida heat. "Bathrooms clean & with AC, nice park, courts to play sports," reports Jennifer H. about facilities at Encore Miami Everglades.
Swimming pools: Most RV parks offer pools for cooling off during hot Florida days. Paradise Island RV Resort receives positive feedback for this amenity: "Good experience... the pool seemed nice although we didn't use it (what a shame)," mentions Christoph.
Walking trails: Several parks feature paved walking paths around their perimeters. "There is a walking/Biking path around the campground perimeter which is actively used," notes Laurie H. about Encore Miami Everglades' recreation options.
What you should know
Water quality concerns: Monitor park notifications about water systems. Encore Miami Everglades experienced significant issues according to Tom M.: "The campground's well water contained fecal matter and was a potential source of E. coli. This failure to provide a safety warning ahead of time was irresponsible."
Site proximity: Spaces between RVs tend to be minimal at most parks. "If you truly like camping with space to breath, then this resort may not be for you. These sites are so close together there is little privacy," explains Nancy about Southern Comfort RV Resort.
Security varies: Some parks have controlled access while others remain open. "We inquired about reserving one of their cabins for a week long stay over Thanksgiving... Now we're left to find a place a week before Thanksgiving and deal with the last minute price increases," shares Brittany S. about a last-minute cancellation at Southern Comfort RV Resort.
Tips for camping with families
Check amenities availability: Call ahead to verify pool and recreation area access. "Pool... looked nice but it was locked. Another one where the offices closes at 5.. most seem to be open until 7-8pm," reports Jennifer H. about Encore Miami Everglades.
Verify pet policies: Encore Breezy Hill has strict pet restrictions that may affect family plans. "This 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," warns Ian R.
Consider noise levels: Some parks are located near busy roads. "We were in site 286 and it was very noisy next to the restaurant businesses," notes JB about their stay at Encore Sunshine Holiday.
Tips from RVers
Gate access procedures: Understand after-hours check-in protocols. "There is no one in the office on the weekends. If you arrive late you have to do everything online. All the site numbers are signed online," explains JB from their experience at Encore Sunshine Holiday.
Road navigation: RV parks in urban areas can have challenging entrances. "The entrance is a little hidden and tight but doable. We were towing a 36' travel trailer. If heading south and coming off the FL Turnpike, you have to get over several lanes in a short distance," advises Mike M. about accessing Southern Comfort RV Resort.
Site security: Some Doral-area RV campgrounds require additional security measures. "We stayed here about 4 days on our way down to the Keys. This park is mostly quiet but full of sketchy people... Lock your stuff up if you're going to leave anything outside. The lots are huge and clean," recommends Derick B. about The Boardwalk RV Resort.
