4 campgrounds with availability this weekend
Several RV campgrounds operate within 30 miles of Miami, offering full hookup RV camping across a range of site configurations and settings. Encore Miami Everglades RV Resort features full hookup sites with 50-amp electric, water, and sewer connections in a location surrounded by ornamental tree nurseries and tropical agriculture. "Our stay at Miami Everglades was impacted by water quality issues, which required disinfecting our motorhome's water system after departure," noted one camper, highlighting the importance of checking current conditions. Paradise Island RV Resort in Fort Lauderdale accommodates big rigs with full hookups, while Encore Sunshine Holiday offers RV sites in a more urban setting with tight spacing between units. Southern Comfort RV Resort in Florida City provides another option with 50-amp service and sewer hookups for travelers heading toward the Keys.
Seasonal considerations significantly impact availability at Miami-area RV parks, with winter months experiencing highest demand. Advance reservations are strongly recommended between December and April when snowbird travelers fill most facilities. While Embassy RV Park provides convenient interstate access, one review described it as a "concrete campground" with minimal amenities beyond basic hookups. Most parks offer sanitary dump stations, with Encore Miami Everglades, Paradise Island, and Aztec RV Resort all providing on-site disposal facilities. Many parks maintain pet-friendly policies with specific restrictions, though Breezy Hill RV Resort does not allow pets. Water pressure and electrical reliability vary between facilities, with several reviews noting inconsistent service during peak usage periods. Comparing RV campgrounds near Miami before booking is especially worthwhile during peak season, when site availability and utility performance differ considerably between properties.
"This campground is close to Miami and Everglades National Park along with grocery shopping. It appears that almost all sites are pull through but not spacious."
"It is a great family style campground close to Miami, Key Biscayne, and the Everglades National Forest. We used this as our landing area to enjoy the local beaches, amenities, and natural sites."
"Location was great, spaces are too tight though. I could hardly get my RV and Car Trailer through the campground. Restrooms were great and staff were helpful."
"I had no problem setting up(routed water & sewer hose around the back of my rv and the electric i passed under it using one of my crutches to pull the cord from under the rv!"
"Home away from home Peaceful Very clean quiet place"
"The location is convenient to restaurants shopping and I95 interstate. Very friendly people"
"Campground in the city, great guest services, friendly staff. Near grocery store, and everything!"
"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."
from $68 - $97 / night
"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."
"If your looking for the ultimate location, keep looking. My wife’s mom lives right around the corner otherwise we may not have even considered Aztec."
"We had a short stay in a private lot (they are all private, I think). We stayed in 56, which was not good. It had a hot tub and hut, but the hot tub was just there for tadpoles to swim."
from $50 - $120 / night
"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."
"Close to the Keys, Everglades, Bkscayne and shopping. Staff was helpful. I will go back."
GuideThe sites are pretty close and right on top of one another, but the location is good! The bath houses are kept clean. There is construction here right now at the marina, so that's less than ideal, but it should be nice when done. We are here at a very rainy time, so it's pretty swampy and the mosquitoes are relentless, so highly recommend bug spray and a screened tent.
TravelerThis is a Miami safe county campground with a lot of rules. FHUs, big rig friendly, friendly staff, clean facilities. Laundry and even has a clothesline. Big swimming pool,no lifeguards, ADA compliant. On the pricier side buy finding it normal for southern Florida campgrounds. I picked up an entire grocery bag of trash from our site upon arrival. Park allows long term stays
LegendThere is something about pulling into Keys Palms RV Resort that immediately feels a little more special than your typical campground or RV outpost, with its waterfront setting RIGHT along Florida Bay with direct views and access to the Gulf, a smaller boutique-style layout of around 30 full hookup sites and beautifully maintained grounds that feel polished yet still relaxed under the palms. The amenities lean fully into that resort feel, with a heated pool and spa overlooking the water, a private sandy beach area, marina access, clean 24-hour showers, and even a fitness room, all within a gated and secure setting that feels both safe and family-friendly, though some sites can be a bit tight and you may hear a touch of Overseas Highway in the background depending on placement. One evening, we grabbed dinner nearby at Lazy Lobster after first stopping by Jimmy Johnson's Tiki Bar for a Happy Hour cocktail and came back just in time to view an amazing sunset that felt uniquely 'Keys' and hard to replicate anywhere else. Because this is an ‘adults only’ RV resort, I wouldn’t recommend this campground for families with young kids, but if like us, you were able to drop off your kids at Grandma's before coming here (or don't have kids at all), then this is DEFINITELY one of the most polished RV resorts we have ever stayed at.
ScoutVery nice quiet place plenty of spots
GuideReally nice clean campground clean showers and bathrooms snorkeling diving glass bottom boats kayak rentals on site went on the snorkeling trip really inexpensive $45 went to Christ of the abyss beautiful reef lots of colorful fish all around great time
GuideWe planned on staying here for 5 months and hoped for longer. But today, We just put in our notice that we are leaving. I hope my experience will help you make your decision to stay here. While management is extremely proud of writing 1000 notices to people over the last year, this is still the reality of what you get. They don't seem to know what's available, unless you speak Spanish. Then they got a spot for you. Lots of RV's with window ac units. Refrigerators outside Gate doesn't always work Gym is a joke 2 out of 6 washers out of order for months 2 out of 6 dryers out of order for months Men's and women's showers has no ac and standing water. Neighbors raising pigeons behind his RV. Few Neighbors have pit bulls Pool is nice.(When people are not watching chickens fight on their phone while standing in pool) LOTS OF FOR SALE SIGNS HERE. People are trying to leave this place. Good luck and safe travels
ScoutStaff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Two pools kept very clean. They pick up your trash at your site daily. Have packages/mail sent/pick up in office. Sites are close together with neighbor's rv 3ft from yours and hookups are on the wrong side. I had no problem setting up(routed water & sewer hose around the back of my rv and the electric i passed under it using one of my crutches to pull the cord from under the rv! I absolutely will return!
GuideStayed in Feb ‘24. We were one of the few tent campers we saw. Lots of generator noise but cutoff times were appreciated. Our site was a bit of a walk to the bathroom but nothing crazy and it was decently private, only really had neighbors to one side and across. Plenty of room for the 2 tents we had, firewood available for purchase, shower water left something to be desired but better than nothing.
RangerWe only stayed here for one night, but it’s a really nice little campground built around a large pond. Everything is well maintained, and there are some lovely covered seating areas right by the water where you can relax. The host was very friendly as well. The only downside to this campground is that there are no showers and no direct water hookup at the campsites. Other than that, it’s a really lovely and enjoyable place to stay.
RV parks near Miami, Florida span from urban locations to spots close to the Everglades, with many facilities positioned along major transportation routes. Sites typically feature 50-amp electrical service and full hookups to accommodate larger motorhomes and travel trailers. Winter months (December through March) represent peak season with significantly higher occupancy rates and pricing compared to summer, when tropical temperatures and hurricane risk reduce demand.

Water quality concerns: Water systems can be problematic in some parks.

My kids brushed their teeth with that water!!"
Site spacing varies significantly: Some parks have minimal space between units. About Encore Sunshine Holiday, Keith F. noted: "Location was great, spaces are too tight though. I could hardly get my RV and Car Trailer through the campground."
Weekend staffing limitations: Arrival timing matters for check-in assistance. "There is no one in the office on the weekends. If you arrive late you have to do everything online," warns JB about Encore Sunshine Holiday.
Urban noise levels: Traffic sounds affect sites near major roads. "Stuck in overflow... Showers NOT in the 'bath house' adjacent to these crummy sites," reports Michael J. about Paradise Island's overflow area, while another camper mentioned: "We were in site 286 and it was very noisy next to the restaurant businesses."
Pool access restrictions: During busy periods, some facilities limit pool occupancy. Nancy reported about Encore Miami Everglades: "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."

Late arrival navigation: Grice's RV Park and other Miami-area facilities require attention to entrance locations. "Stayed here one night on the way to the FL Keys. The entrance is a little hidden and tight but doable. We were towing a 36' travel trailer," shares Mike M. about Southern Comfort RV Resort.
Dump station positioning: Sites with sanitary dump stations may require careful maneuvering. Michael J. notes about Paradise Island: "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."
Breed restrictions: Pet policies vary between parks. "This is a pet friendly park but with a breed and size restriction, so call ahead if you have Fido with you," advises Thom T. regarding Southern Comfort RV Resort.
Check pet policies thoroughly: Not all parks that appear pet-friendly actually allow pets. Ian R. learned this about Breezy Hill: "This park was rated as pet friendly in the TT system, turns out it isn't. Now with under 2 weeks to go, we need to make new reservations."
