Best RV Parks & Resorts near Homestead, FL

Encore Miami Everglades RV Resort accommodates large recreational vehicles with full-hookup sites featuring 50-amp electric service, water, and sewer connections. Southern Comfort RV Resort in Florida City provides similar utilities but sites have limited spacing between neighboring RVs. The Boardwalk RV Resort in Homestead maintains all essential hookups and caters to big rigs with proper turning radius requirements. Gold Coaster RV Resort rounds out the local options with sewer and water hookups, though alcohol is prohibited on premises. Most campgrounds in this area position RV sites on grass surfaces rather than gravel pads, which can create challenges during wet weather. "Not the best not the worst. Totally does the job and has all the amenities. Sites were all on grass and after a couple of weeks camping just the south I sure appreciate some gravel or sand," noted one visitor.

During winter months, RV parks near Homestead reach maximum capacity as seasonal residents from northern states establish temporary residence. Full-hookup sites should be reserved several months in advance when planning travel between December and April. While Miami Everglades offers swimming pools, pickleball courts and other resort-style amenities, some facilities experience maintenance issues - particularly with water systems. Southern Comfort includes weekend entertainment with its on-site Tiki bar that sometimes generates evening noise. Most parks enforce pet policies with breed and size restrictions. According to one camper, "The traffic noise can be loud at certain times of the day" near roadside parks like Southern Comfort, which sits five miles from Homestead Speedway and experiences high demand during NASCAR events.

    Long Pine Key Campground — Everglades National Park

    Long Key Campground serenity

    Beautifully manicured park with blacktop pads spaced far enough apart for a fair amount of privacy. Beautiful scenery, great bird watching, lots of stars visible at night. Good Verizon cell service.

    Be aware that the pads are small. Only a few sites will fit a large RV and you will have to park you car in overflow parking if the sites are full. Our 35’ class A fit nicely and we were able to park our tow vehicle in an adjacent site since the park was only about half full but we wouldn’t be able to do that during peak season.

    Larry & Penny Thompson Park

    Quiet and Peaceful Campground, trees, greenery and option for long term

    This 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.

    Southern Comfort RV Resort

    Best Park in Florida City

    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. The park fills up quickly come the winter time with the “ Snow Birds” but the park overall is wonderful. There is a bar/Tiki Hut on premise and a big swimming pool open year round. This is a pet friendly park but with a breed and size restriction, so call ahead if you have Fido with you.

    Long Pine Key Campground — Everglades National Park

    Private Sites, Beware of Poisonous Snakes

    Long Pine : Sites are more private here than the one other Everglades established campground (Flamingo). More trails here. Flamingo is closer to water activities. We saw a rattlesnake this trip. Previously, we had a water moccasin under our trailer I figure having been disoriented during a torrential downpour. (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good

    Flamingo Campground — Everglades National Park

    Open Oarklike Concessionaire Run

    Flamingo in the Everglades: Open parklike with new and what are the absolute largest of campsite signs I have seen in 5 years of traveling. No excuse to be in the wrong site at Flamingo! I had to laugh and wonder that if they are that big, blind drivers must be frequenting Flamingo. On a serious note, the brand new visitor center is a 5 star.

    Monument Lake Campground — Big Cypress National Preserve

    Greatest of Cypress Camping

    Monument Lake, Big Cypress: This is the best of the BCNP campgrounds in my opinion. It surrounds the largest of the campground lakes in BCNP and has gorgeous sunsets and sunrises. Easy to get to. The hosts all work hard and are kind. The big downsides are: GENERATORS: Hours allowed need to be shortened. Speed limit is double of Burns Lake resulting in excessive dust.

    To Do: The smallest Post Office in the USA is close by. Oasis Visitor Center has gator viewing.
    Visit all the nearby boardwalks are worth a visit.
    Do a Ranger led wet walk. It is out of this world.
    Drive to Shark Valley and take the tram (reservations are best), bicycle the 12 mile loop or walk part of it. The gates open at 9:00 AM for park parking. Fills up, thus slowing entry into the park. However, parking is available along the highway. We parked there, just past the no parking signs. We then walked in at sunrise for enjoyment before the crowds. Some folks were biking at that time as well. Beautiful. Gators began sunning themselves by 9:30AM or so. Drive to Everglade City for a boat ride out to the bay. Fantastic experience. The BCNP Visitor Center can tell you who to contact to make reservations. We went on this trip a couple years ago.
    Airboats and swamp buggy rides are popular. We did this as well, but preferred the other activities in the end. However, how can you pass up on a fun airboat experience. Unlike the Everglades the full campsite discount is offered here. (Scale 1- bad, 5-Very good

    (70 yr olds in 17’ trailer. ) Overall Rating: 4 (should be a 5, but for poor generator usage rules. This negatively affected our stay this time, our 4th time here.) Price 2023: $ 14 w interagency pass Security: None except visitors must drive by host sites. Usage during visit: Heavy Site Privacy: None Site Spacing: Close Site surface: Grass Reservations: Required Campground Noise: Quiet except for one long running generator.

Guide to Homestead

RV campgrounds near Homestead, Florida provide convenient access to both the Florida Keys and Everglades National Park. Located in USDA Hardiness Zone 10b, the area experiences year-round warm temperatures with summer highs reaching 90°F and winter lows rarely dropping below 60°F. Camping in this region offers opportunities for both freshwater and saltwater activities, though sites tend to be more compact compared to other Florida camping destinations.

What to do

Wildlife watching at Everglades National Park: Just a short drive from Encore Miami Everglades RV Resort, campers can explore diverse ecosystems. "Miami Everglades RV Resort is in the Miami area but it doesn't feel like Miami at all. They have a really nice big pool, shuffleboard, putt putt golf, arcade and walking trail. It's off the beaten path but worth the drive," notes Jennifer A.

Water activities in the Keys: When staying at Blue Fin Rock Harbor Marina & RV Park in Key Largo, paddleboarding is accessible directly from your campsite. One camper shared, "My favorite thing about Blue Fin is starting my mornings on the water, watching the sunrise on my paddle board just steps from my front door!"

Fruit stands and local attractions: Visit Robert Is Here fruit stand near Miami Everglades RV Resort for tropical fruits and milkshakes. "Close to Miami Everglades is a fruit stand called Robert Is Here. Don't miss it!" recommends a visitor. The stand offers mangoes, key lime products, and exotic fruit varieties unique to South Florida.

What campers like

Pool facilities: Many rv parks near Homestead feature swimming pools that provide relief from the heat. At Kings Kamp RV Park, visitors appreciate the waterfront location: "Kings Kamp is a unique property that will work for all visitors. Personally, I camped in a tent, but they also have RV spots and on-site cabins. It was right off the main highway through the keys so it was very easy to get to."

On-site entertainment: Weekend activities enhance the camping experience. At Riptide RV Resort in Key Largo, the communal areas receive high marks: "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."

Strategic location: Campers value the proximity to multiple destinations. "We stayed here for 2 nights on our way down to the Keys. We were originally assigned a campsite right next to another group who was taking up a lot of space so the office staff graciously worked with us and let us choose our own site," reported one Miami Everglades guest. This central position allows day trips to both the Everglades and the Keys.

What you should know

Water quality concerns: Several campgrounds have experienced water system issues. Recent reviews of Miami Everglades mention: "We were only informed upon arrival that 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 spacing variations: Campgrounds in Homestead typically feature closer spacing than state parks. At The Boardwalk RV And Mobile Home Resort, "We stayed here about 4 days on our way down to the Keys. 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. The lots are huge and clean."

Reservation challenges: During peak season (November-April), availability becomes extremely limited. One camper noted, "We decided to go east during Snow Bird season. So we have been playing ping pong throughout the keys. Fiesta Key Resort is a very nice resort, we were going to be here for 2 nights and extended to 6."

Tips for camping with families

Pool availability: When traveling with children, prioritize campgrounds with swimming facilities. One family at Encore Fiesta Key shared, "We loved Fiesta Key! Some of our favorite parts of this resort were the weekly farmers market, the Easter egg hunt on Easter, the restaurant, snorkeling from the shore, and how they pickup your trash for you right at your site."

Safe areas for children: Look for campgrounds with designated recreation spaces. "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," one camper reported about their successful first trip.

Bathroom facilities: Clean, air-conditioned restrooms matter when camping with kids. A camper at Kings Kamp noted: "Bathroom nice, Air conditioned, & clean. Would recommend to all. Will come back again!!" This comfort feature can make tent camping with children more manageable in the Florida heat.

Tips from RVers

Big rig considerations: RV parks in Homestead accommodate large vehicles, but turning radiuses vary. The Boardwalk RV And Mobile Home Resort caters to bigger rigs but requires careful navigation at the entrance. One RVer at Southern Comfort noted, "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."

Hookup reliability: Full-hookup sites typically include 50-amp service, water, and sewer, but service quality varies. A camper at Kings Kamp warned, "We arrived to a warm welcome and headed to site #27. To say these sites are tight is an understatement. You're practically touching your neighbors."

Road noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some campgrounds. At Kings Kamp, a tent camper mentioned, "Small and efficient for tenting. However, tenting is by the highway and under lights. Very noisy and bright for sleeping." This factor matters when selecting sites for overnight comfort in Homestead RV parks.
