What you should know
Water quality concerns: Some campgrounds have experienced utility issues. At Miami Everglades RV Resort, Tom M. reported a serious problem: "We were only informed upon arrival that the campground's well water contained fecal matter and was a potential source of E. coli." Always check recent reviews for utility updates.
Space constraints: Many RV parks in this urban area feature tight spacing. Keith F. at Encore Sunshine Holiday noted, "I could hardly get my RV and Car Trailer through the campground." Consider your vehicle size when booking.
Urban camping reality: Southern Comfort RV Resort represents typical urban camping with its proximity to roads. "Traffic noise can be loud at certain times of the day," mentioned Amber H. Rob K. added it has "Not many frills, certainly not a resort... but as a relatively affordable base of vacation operations it was good."
Tips for camping with families
Pool rules knowledge: Family-oriented facilities have specific rules. Jennifer H. observed at Miami Everglades, "Pool... looked nice but it was locked. Another one where the office closes at 5... Just nice to have someone to communicate with." Verify pool hours and supervision requirements.
Tent camping awareness: Few parks accommodate tent camping well. Kelly L. warned about The Boardwalk RV And Mobile Home Resort: "These tent sites are dangerous they are in the middle of the main road and to make it worse it was karaoke night and open to the public." Always call ahead for tent site information.
Activity preparation: Campgrounds vary in their recreational offerings. Aly E. shared a positive experience: "Myself, my husband, and our 2 year old son recently started camping as a family... This site is extremely nice! It is very clean, upkept well, and all staff were extremely helpful." Bring entertainment as amenities differ between parks.
Tips from RVers
Weekend arrival planning: Weekend staffing affects check-in procedures. JB noted, "There is no one in the office on the weekends. If you arrive late you have to do everything online." Plan ahead for after-hours arrivals.
Navigation challenges: The urban setting creates driving difficulties. One RVer at Southern Comfort mentioned, "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."
Seasonal booking strategy: Winter remains extremely busy. Most full-time RVers at Encore Breezy Hill come from Canada. Tom V. observed, "Very large population of french speaking Canadians. Most don't/won't speak english." Book months in advance for winter stays, especially for larger rigs.
