Southern Comfort RV Resort in Florida City offers 150 sites with full hookups including water, electric, and sewer connections. Sites feature level gravel pads with adequate spacing for slideouts. The Boardwalk RV Resort in nearby Homestead provides full hookup sites that accommodate large motorhomes with 50-amp electric service. "For the area this is a large park with decent sized sites, though it fills up quickly in winter with snowbirds," notes one visitor about Southern Comfort. Miami Everglades RV Resort, located on SW 162nd Avenue, supports big rigs with 50-amp hookups, water, and sewer connections on sites that are arranged around several pods, each with its own bathhouse and laundry facilities.
Most RV parks in the Florida City area remain open year-round with peak season running December through March. Advance reservations become essential during winter months when northern travelers seek warmer weather. Cellular coverage varies by carrier with AT&T service spotty in some locations while Verizon typically maintains 3-4 bars throughout the region. Dump stations are available at all the major RV parks, though Miami Everglades RV Resort has experienced occasional water outages according to recent reviews. On-site amenities typically include swimming pools, shuffleboard courts, and walking trails, with Southern Comfort offering a tiki bar and recreational facilities. Pet policies differ between parks—most allow pets but enforce breed and size restrictions, particularly at Southern Comfort RV Resort where campers should call ahead to confirm current rules.
"This campground is close to Miami and Everglades National Park along with grocery shopping. It appears that almost all sites are pull through but not spacious."
"It is a great family style campground close to Miami, Key Biscayne, and the Everglades National Forest. We used this as our landing area to enjoy the local beaches, amenities, and natural sites."
"We decided to go east during Snow Bird season. So we have been playing ping pong through out in the keys."
"The place is very nice, well maintained and a great private beach and pool. Of course, a marina and boat ramp too...facilities maintained well and hookups were perfect."
"This park is mostly quiet but full of sketchy people. We saw our neighbors selling illegal firearms to a young kid in his front yard. Lock your stuff up if you're going to leave anything outside."
"This park is located right off Route 1 in Florida City. For the area this is a large park. I believe over 150 sites. The sites are decent in size."
"Close to the Keys, Everglades, Bkscayne and shopping. Staff was helpful. I will go back."
"There is something about pulling into Keys Palms RV Resort that immediately feels a little more special than your typical campground or RV outpost, with its waterfront setting RIGHT along Florida Bay with"
"As a first time RVer, Jim greeted me and helped me set up my whole RV and taught me how to clean out my tanks!"
"Alana was so helpful with how to get around town and pointed out local activities and restaurants! Such a beautiful setting with campsites right on the water."
"Nice pavilion down at water, nice little beach, dock, restrooms, showers and laundry"
"There’s no pool but there are laundry facilities and a clean bathroom. There’s a community grill, picnic area, and chairs to enjoy the sunsets"
"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. "
"It is very pretty with lots of mature shade trees. The RV's are assigned space around several pods. Each pod has its own bathhouse with laundry facilities."
TravelerThis 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
LegendThere is something about pulling into Keys Palms RV Resort that immediately feels a little more special than your typical campground or RV outpost, with its waterfront setting RIGHT along Florida Bay with direct views and access to the Gulf, a smaller boutique-style layout of around 30 full hookup sites and beautifully maintained grounds that feel polished yet still relaxed under the palms. The amenities lean fully into that resort feel, with a heated pool and spa overlooking the water, a private sandy beach area, marina access, clean 24-hour showers, and even a fitness room, all within a gated and secure setting that feels both safe and family-friendly, though some sites can be a bit tight and you may hear a touch of Overseas Highway in the background depending on placement. One evening, we grabbed dinner nearby at Lazy Lobster after first stopping by Jimmy Johnson's Tiki Bar for a Happy Hour cocktail and came back just in time to view an amazing sunset that felt uniquely 'Keys' and hard to replicate anywhere else. Because this is an ‘adults only’ RV resort, I wouldn’t recommend this campground for families with young kids, but if like us, you were able to drop off your kids at Grandma's before coming here (or don't have kids at all), then this is DEFINITELY one of the most polished RV resorts we have ever stayed at.
GuideReally nice clean campground clean showers and bathrooms snorkeling diving glass bottom boats kayak rentals on site went on the snorkeling trip really inexpensive $45 went to Christ of the abyss beautiful reef lots of colorful fish all around great time
GuideWe planned on staying here for 5 months and hoped for longer. But today, We just put in our notice that we are leaving. I hope my experience will help you make your decision to stay here. While management is extremely proud of writing 1000 notices to people over the last year, this is still the reality of what you get. They don't seem to know what's available, unless you speak Spanish. Then they got a spot for you. Lots of RV's with window ac units. Refrigerators outside Gate doesn't always work Gym is a joke 2 out of 6 washers out of order for months 2 out of 6 dryers out of order for months Men's and women's showers has no ac and standing water. Neighbors raising pigeons behind his RV. Few Neighbors have pit bulls Pool is nice.(When people are not watching chickens fight on their phone while standing in pool) LOTS OF FOR SALE SIGNS HERE. People are trying to leave this place. Good luck and safe travels
RangerHere’s a review you can post:
We had a fantastic time at Flamingo in Everglades National Park! The scenery is beautiful, the wildlife viewing is incredible, and there’s always a chance to spot alligators, birds, manatees, and other amazing creatures. The marina area is well-maintained, and the peaceful views across Florida Bay are unforgettable.
One thing to be prepared for: the mosquitoes can be intense, especially around sunrise and sunset. Bring plenty of bug spray and apply it often. With good insect repellent, the mosquitoes are manageable and definitely not a reason to miss this unique experience.
Overall, Flamingo is a must-visit destination for nature lovers. The wildlife, sunsets, and natural beauty make it well worth the trip!
GuideStayed in Feb ‘24. We were one of the few tent campers we saw. Lots of generator noise but cutoff times were appreciated. Our site was a bit of a walk to the bathroom but nothing crazy and it was decently private, only really had neighbors to one side and across. Plenty of room for the 2 tents we had, firewood available for purchase, shower water left something to be desired but better than nothing.
RangerWe only stayed here for one night, but it’s a really nice little campground built around a large pond. Everything is well maintained, and there are some lovely covered seating areas right by the water where you can relax. The host was very friendly as well. The only downside to this campground is that there are no showers and no direct water hookup at the campsites. Other than that, it’s a really lovely and enjoyable place to stay.
ScoutI had a really amazing experience that has gotten me hooked on camp life. Between the beautiful nature trails, various on-site activities and clean friendly environment I can say with certainty that I am now a camper for life!
GuideI personally loved the Long Pine Key Campground, after being twice earlier this year. One trip was short and sweet with one other person as a site visit for a larger group the following month, and in February the weather was PERFECT! Cool, clear nights and no bugs. So peaceful and perfect, our team thought our next trip with our field school would be a breeze. Highly recommend visiting in February or while it’s still cool if you can!
We returned in March, Spring Break, with a bunch of environmentally focused college students at their group site and 5 additional sites. And they LOVED it, even after a rocky start facing the strong Florida thunderstorms, waiting out the rain and then setting up in the dark. The rain was so needed, and honestly meant the world to the students to see the ecosystem come to life while in this drought.
The group site housed 5 tents, and our additional sites had 2 each (students were told not to hang up hammocks on their sparse trees per the campground rules), and we were able to stay relatively close together and still have some breathing room for the beautiful vegetation between the sites. Keep an eye out for critters, especially snakes surrounding the campsite. We saw multiple cottonmouths and even some babies, super cool but want to keep your distance.
The restrooms are clean, dish sink is a godsend, and showers were warmed by solar (score!). We are so thankful to the campsite for taking care of all of us, and it’s worth the adventure. Bugs, snakes, weather, and more, full send it!

Everglades exploration: 30 minutes from Miami Everglades RV Resort, you can access multiple Everglades National Park entrances. "It's a large resort so I can see how, when fully occupied it would be crowded and spots could be tight. The place is very nice, well maintained and a great private beach and pool," notes a visitor at nearby Fiesta Key.
Local fruit stands: 10-minute drive from most Florida City campsites. "Close to Miami Everglades is a fruit stand called Robert Is Here. Don't miss it!" recommends one camper who stayed at Miami Everglades while exploring the region.
Water activities: Snorkeling and fishing options abound within 30-45 minutes of Florida City. At Kings Kamp in Key Largo, campers appreciate the access: "It actually has a small marina, so bring the boat or kayak and launch right there. We found a nice little spot where we fished and had our lunch."
Proximity to attractions: Campers value Florida City's strategic location. A guest at Fiesta Key RV Resort noted, "Great location midpoint on the keys. This enables day trips to Key West or Key Largo. The resort has a marina, a pool, and a beach bar and restaurant."
Winter escape: Snowbird season runs December through March. One reviewer mentioned, "Expensive for February and March but well worth it. Many things to do and free things from them like begals and juice, ice cream, wine and cheese."

Waterfront sites cost more but offer views: At Riptide RV Resort, "This campground is small with tight sites (short and close together). There's no pool but there are laundry facilities and a clean bathroom. There's a community grill, picnic area, and chairs to enjoy the sunsets."
Water quality concerns: Recent reviews flag potential issues at some parks. One visitor to Miami Everglades reported, "Our stay was unfortunately impacted by a serious and unannounced issue. We were only informed upon arrival that the campground's well water contained fecal matter and was a potential source of E. coli."
Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some campgrounds. A Kings Kamp camper noted, "Tenting is by the highway and under lights. Very noisy and bright for sleeping," while a visitor to another park described "traffic noise can be loud at certain times of the day."
Family-friendly activities: Blue Fin Rock Harbor Marina & RV Park received praise from a camper who stayed with family: "My favorite thing is starting my mornings on the water, watching the sunrise on my paddle board just steps from my front door!"

Test trip location: First-time RVers find the area accessible. One family shared, "Myself, my husband, and our 2 year old son recently started camping as a family. We originally chose Miami Everglades RV Resort as a site to test our new equipment. It is close to home, so we figured if something went wrong, we'd just pack up and come home."
Site selection strategies: At Southern Comfort RV Resort, "Stayed here one night on the way to the FL Keys. The campground is tight but manageable. Pulled in late and security guard was super helpful. The entrance is a little hidden and tight but doable. We were towing a 36' travel trailer."
Reservation timing: Book well in advance for winter stays. A visitor noted, "If heading south and coming off the FL Turnpike, you have to get over several lanes in a short distance to make the left turn on to Palm Drive."
