Best Tent Camping near Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, FL

No tent camping!

Overall not bad. My tent site was near the bathrooms with the showers. During my stay only 3 people used them. Very clean. The tent site I will say was the best of the lot. What i mean is, it wasn't against a fence in the broiling sun. Had trees for shade. Wifi was non existent, the ap on my end has been down since itma. The washing machines were hit and miss. The staff and guests in my area were great. Pricing for a tent is a bit expensive though. All in all not bad.

stayed at one of the tent sites with water and electric. Very friendly staff. This palce gets really crowded during winter season.

My 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!

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. A bit crowded but close enough to civilization that it makes a great alternative to a hotel, although the price isn’t much difference $50/night). Lots to do in the park itself as well.

Located on Lake Osborne in Lake Worth, Florida the John Prince Campground has many waterfront sites which contain both power and potable water. Being it was summertime here in Florida there were many available sites to choose from. Facilities were good amd close and the staff was extremely kind and accommodating.

For south florida, its about as good as it gets. Also has a nice observatory on saturday nights to visit.

The only way to get to this campground is by boat. Reservations are very difficult to get because is a small campground. There are bathrooms with shower next to the campground. All sites are tent only sites and they are very close to each other. You can get two sites instead of one when available. There is some shade in the campground area but in the summer can get very hot. Please note that this is a very popular weekend boat hangout and is often full of visitors.

3 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????

Look, if you find yourself stuck in southern Florida, fleeing the traffic and mayhem of Miami or crossing the 6 hour mark, having departed Key West, then this layover in Hallandale Beach – which I must admit, has some pretty amazing beachheads with which to plant an umbrella and throw down a few towels to enjoy the best of what southern Florida has to offer – might be a terribly easy spot to rest your weary head. Located conveniently about 2 minutes off of I95, you’ll be able to reach the concrete campground that is Embassy RV Park and which will have a slab of concrete that it will gladly rent you for the night (or a week, month or longer if need be). There’s all the typical hook-ups from water, electric and sewage, a few scattered (albeit, ill-maintained and not terribly clean) bath houses / restrooms. You won’t find much in the way of community amenities like picnic tables or grills, so be sure to bring or unpack your own. While there’s not a lot in and around this concrete jungle variety RV Park apart from strip mall store-front shopping and fast food chains to dine at, you’ll have to head a decent ways to escape the crowds and overall busy traffic of the area. Net-net, if you’re in a fix for the night, then park here late and leave early in order to get to your destination where you can enjoy a great time that is likely the main reason why you are out camping or RV’ing in the first place, right? 

Happy Camping!

Though quite urban, this is one of my favorite stops in touring Florida on the Atlantic side. The resort is beautiful, sites are paved and level. There is a pool, hot tub, laundry, tennis, bocce, playgrounds, and it’s walking distance to the pier, the beach, a large grocery store and drug store, restaurants and more. There are many park models here and the park residents are friendly and welcoming.

I 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.

This is an older campground with a lot of full-time RVers. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and will do whatever they can to make you satisfied. This is a campground in the middle of the city, so don’t expect a lot of quiet, as this is how it is in a city. We spent 14 months here sheltering from Covid, and it was extremely convenient to all of the Fort Lauderdale area. We never had a single issue during our stay.

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! Great time! Recommend

Spent one quick night here. This is a campground with mostly full timers, but we got a nice easy spot to back in and get out easily. Staff very friendly! Very respectful of COVID as well. Always appreciate that.

Good experience, this was the first campground we ever visited with our RV but it was smooth. Price was okay (I guess), front desk lady was very friendly, slot was spacey and the pool seemed nice although we didn't use it (what a shame)

Good park to stay at but no aminity

This place is absolutely gorgeous, the amenities and staff are top notch. The grounds and views of all the surrounding yachts are simply spectacular. Everything here is setup for convenience and comfort. I booked longer then my original reservation because I simply do not want to leave. 5 STARS !!
