Developed campgrounds near Miramar, Florida primarily consist of established county parks, private RV resorts, and KOA franchises serving the greater Fort Lauderdale metropolitan area. Several notable options include C.B. Smith Park Campground in Pembroke Pines, Markham Park Campground in Sunrise, and Topeekeegee Yugnee Park, all providing full-hookup sites within 10 miles of Miramar. These facilities cater predominantly to RV campers, though tent sites are available at most locations. Yacht Haven Park & Marina and Hollywood KOA also offer cabin accommodations for visitors seeking alternatives to traditional camping.
The South Florida climate allows for year-round camping with all major campgrounds operating through all seasons. Most sites require advance reservations, particularly during winter months when northern visitors seek warmer temperatures. "The park is very well maintained. The front area is more for weekenders. We stayed in the back behind the lake and it was very quiet/family friendly," noted one camper about C.B. Smith Park. Amenities at developed campgrounds typically include electric and water hookups, sanitary dump stations, showers, and restrooms. Road access is straightforward with paved entrances suitable for large rigs, though site spacing varies considerably between facilities. Cellular coverage is excellent throughout the region due to its urban proximity.
Campers frequently highlight the contrast between the urban surroundings and park settings. The county park system provides relatively spacious camping areas with recreational amenities nearby. Several visitors mentioned the convenience of accessing metropolitan attractions while still enjoying outdoor experiences. At C.B. Smith Park, reviews point to "beautiful sunsets over the water" and praise the "clean bathrooms and showers." Privacy between sites varies significantly, with some campers noting tight spacing at facilities like Davie/Fort Lauderdale KOA. Swimming pools, fishing opportunities, and walking paths are common features across most campgrounds. Weekend noise levels can increase at parks with adjacent recreational facilities, particularly when special events are scheduled. Urban light pollution limits stargazing opportunities, but the convenient access to shopping, dining, and attractions makes these campgrounds practical base camps for exploring South Florida.

Disgusting place
We 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

Has everything/ near everything
Staff 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!

Serviceable
Stayed 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.

Charming Little Campground by the Water
We 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.

Everglades Field School - Long Pine Key with a big group
I personally loved the Long Pine Key Campground, after being twice earlier this year. One trip was short and sweet with one other person as a site visit for a larger group the following month, and in February the weather was PERFECT! Cool, clear nights and no bugs. So peaceful and perfect, our team thought our next trip with our field school would be a breeze. Highly recommend visiting in February or while it’s still cool if you can!
We returned in March, Spring Break, with a bunch of environmentally focused college students at their group site and 5 additional sites. And they LOVED it, even after a rocky start facing the strong Florida thunderstorms, waiting out the rain and then setting up in the dark. The rain was so needed, and honestly meant the world to the students to see the ecosystem come to life while in this drought.
The group site housed 5 tents, and our additional sites had 2 each (students were told not to hang up hammocks on their sparse trees per the campground rules), and we were able to stay relatively close together and still have some breathing room for the beautiful vegetation between the sites. Keep an eye out for critters, especially snakes surrounding the campsite. We saw multiple cottonmouths and even some babies, super cool but want to keep your distance.
The restrooms are clean, dish sink is a godsend, and showers were warmed by solar (score!). We are so thankful to the campsite for taking care of all of us, and it’s worth the adventure. Bugs, snakes, weather, and more, full send it!

Beautiful and quiet property
Felt safe in a gated community over looking the firehouse but also felt like maybe we were not supposed to be there and so we spent a lot of time inside our trailer.

Clean, maintained facilities: Topeekeegee Yugnee Park Campground receives consistent praise for upkeep. "Very well lit at night with security.

What you should know
Urban noise factors: Being located in metropolitan areas means occasional noise intrusion.

At Easterlin Park Campground, visitors note: "The east end of Easterlin is on the Tri-Rail tracks and you do get significant noise so make sure you are a heavy sleeper."

At Topeekeegee Yugnee Park, "park closes at 8, you can still enter through the exit gate until midnight and then have to call security to get in/out."
