The area features a subtropical climate with temperatures typically ranging from 60°F to 90°F throughout the year, with humidity levels often exceeding 70%.

What to do
Everglades exploration from Florida City: Southern Comfort RV Resort provides a strategic base for Everglades adventures. "This park is located right off Route 1 in Florida City. For the area this is a large park. I believe over 150 sites," explains reviewer Thom T. The location serves as an ideal jumping-off point for exploring multiple natural areas.
Local fruit stands: While staying at Encore Miami Everglades, campers can visit unique agricultural attractions. "Close to Miami Everglades is a fruit stand called Robert Is Here. Don't miss it!" recommends Jennifer A., highlighting regional food opportunities beyond typical tourist destinations.
Beach access from Fort Lauderdale: Paradise Island RV Resort places campers within driving distance of coastal attractions. "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," reports Christoph, mentioning their positive experience.
What campers like
Spacious sites at upscale resorts: Aztec RV Resort offers luxury accommodations with generous spacing. "This place spoiled us, it's one of the nicest RV resorts I've ever seen, the lots were spacious and incredibly well maintained," shares Harrison S., noting the premium amenities that distinguish this property from standard campgrounds.
Pool facilities: Many campers appreciate swimming options during hot Florida days. Laurie H. at Encore Miami Everglades notes, "The pool looked nicely appointed and clean, although, we did not use it. I did feel that the bathrooms close to our site were in need of an upgrade."
Walking trails: Exercise options matter to many RV campers. "There is a walking/Biking path around the campground perimeter which is actively used," reports Laurie H. about Encore Miami Everglades, highlighting recreational infrastructure beyond basic camping needs.
What you should know
Water quality concerns: Some campers have reported serious water system issues. A recent reviewer at Encore Miami Everglades stated: "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."
Security varies significantly: The Boardwalk RV And Mobile Home Resort presents mixed safety experiences. "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," warns Derick B., emphasizing the importance of security awareness.
Reservation processes: Last-minute changes can create problems for travelers. At Southern Comfort RV Resort, one camper reported: "I received a phone call yesterday from a representative, not the owner, stating my reservation had been canceled and there was nothing I could do about it," highlighting potential challenges with booking stability.
Tips for camping with families
Pool regulations: Families should understand pool access limitations. At Encore Miami Everglades, a camper noted: "It's a huge pool but they only let 20 in at a time. Lots of kids in the hot tub and the pool, if you could even get in," indicating potential crowding issues during peak times.
Equipment testing opportunities: Southern Comfort RV Resort offers affordable options for families trying out camping gear. "We inquired about reserving one of their cabins for a week long stay over Thanksgiving. We let them know that we would have 2 adults and 3 children," explains one reviewer describing their accommodation planning process.
Pet restrictions: Many families travel with pets but face limitations. A reviewer warns: "This park is pet friendly but with a breed and size restriction, so call ahead if you have Fido with you," highlighting the need to verify pet policies before arrival at Southern Comfort RV Resort.
Tips from RVers
Site selection strategy: At rv campgrounds in Miami Springs and surrounding areas, site location significantly impacts experience. "If you get a site along the fence in back, be prepared for neighbors noise that the RV park cannot control. Barking dogs and loud music, etc.," warns Mary H. about Encore Breezy Hill.
Hookup positioning: Practical site layout affects convenience. "The campground has so many great things to offer however the people working here completely ruin the experience. The picture are very misleading. The site is not being kept up," reports Matthew D. about Encore Miami Everglades, noting maintenance concerns.
Big rig maneuvering challenges: Large RVs face specific challenges at some parks. "Location was great, spaces are too tight though. I could hardly get my RV and Car Trailer through the campground," explains Keith F. regarding tight navigation at Encore Sunshine Holiday.
