What to do
Explore the Everglades: Miami Everglades RV Resort serves as a convenient base for exploring the unique ecosystems of the nearby national park. "We stopped here for 2 nights while exploring The Everglades on our way to Key West. Close to Miami Everglades is a fruit stand called Robert Is Here. Don't miss it!" advises Jennifer A.
Visit local beaches: Staying at Southern Comfort RV Resort puts you in close proximity to several attractions. "Close to the Keys, Everglades, Biscayne and shopping. Staff was helpful. I will go back," shares a camper who used the park as "a base of vacation operations."
Enjoy on-site recreation: Many parks offer activities for days when you don't want to venture out. At Encore Miami Everglades, "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," according to one reviewer.
What campers like
Well-maintained facilities: Aztec RV Resort receives high marks for its upkeep. "This place spoiled us, it's one of the nicest RV resorts I've ever seen, the lots were spacious and incredibly well maintained," notes Harrison S., adding that his lot "happened to have a massive tiki hut."
Proximity to amenities: The urban location means easy access to necessities. "Campground in the city, great guest services, friendly staff. Near grocery store, and everything! Full hookup sites, spots are big and concrete roads," reports one camper about Paradise Island RV Resort.
Morning trash pickup: Some resorts offer services that enhance the camping experience. At Aztec RV Resort, "they pick up your trash every morning which is awesome," according to a satisfied guest.
What you should know
Water quality concerns: Some parks have experienced infrastructure issues. At Miami Everglades RV Resort, one camper reported: "On several occasions our water went out (in the middle of a shower and another time during dinner prep, and yet again while doing laundry!)"
Limited privacy: Sites at many Miami-area RV parks tend to be close together. "This is a campground with mostly full timers, but we got a nice easy spot to back in and get out easily," notes a Paradise Island RV Resort visitor.
Traffic and noise: Being in an urban area means some campgrounds experience noise pollution. At Highland Pines RV Resort, despite being "close to all of the sites and attractions in Pompano, Deerfield, and Boca Raton," campers should expect typical urban sounds.
Tips for camping with families
Pool facilities: Look for parks with kid-friendly amenities. "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," explains a parent who visited Miami Everglades RV Resort with a 2-year-old son.
Safety considerations: Some parks offer better security than others. "This place has seen better days and the hook ups are not in the best locations," warns a camper about Breezy Hill, adding that "if you get a site along the fence in back, be prepared for neighbors noise that the RV park cannot control."
Walking paths: Many parks feature trails suitable for families. "There is a walking/Biking path around the campground perimeter which is actively used," notes a visitor to Miami Everglades RV Resort.
Tips from RVers
Site navigation challenges: Some parks have tight turning areas. At Southern Comfort RV Resort, "the entrance is a little hidden and tight but doable. We were towing a 36' travel trailer," shares Mike M.
Arrival timing: Office hours vary by park. "If you arrive late you have to do everything online. All the site numbers are signed online. We stayed for two nights and didn't see any administration," reports a camper about Sunshine Holiday.
Hook-up locations: Be prepared to adapt to different site layouts. "The hook ups are not in the best locations," notes a camper about Breezy Hill RV Resort, suggesting you might need extension cords or longer hoses.
