Best Campgrounds near Miramar, FL

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.

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.

    Encore Miami Everglades

    ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING!!

    The water tested positive for fecal indicator e coli on August 1st & they failed to notify campers until 48 hours later!!! My kids brushed their teeth with that water!! 🤮 I had been visiting for 3 years & it’s only gotten worse. What a waste on renovations. And I’ve only heard complaints about the staff on site. They should invest on better property management & some activities for the campers. This place honestly sucks considering it’s Miami!!

    Encore Miami Everglades

    Terrible

    Our stay at Encore Miami Campground was unfortunately impacted by a serious and unannounced issue. 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. It meant we had to hook up to a contaminated water source, which then required us to undertake a costly and time-consuming process of disinfecting our motorhome's water system after we left. This experience was both a health concern and a major inconvenience.

    Topeekeegee Yugnee Park Campground

    Great Park

    Clean park friendly staff. Great amenities. There are not many downsides two that I want to discuss. The campground does sit next to a train track i believe its a commuter line so there is an early train 4am which is startling. Other downside is park closes at 8, you can still enter through the exit gate until midnight and then have to call security to get in/out.

    Markham Park Campground

    A Great Stay at Markham Park!

    I stayed at Markham Park on July 28 and had a wonderful experience. The campground is well-maintained, peaceful, and offers plenty of space between sites, giving a nice sense of privacy. The park itself is beautiful, with lots of shaded areas, clean facilities, and easy access to nature trails, bike paths, and water activities.

    What I loved most was how much there is to do right on site—whether you enjoy kayaking, fishing, mountain biking, or just relaxing by your campsite, this park has it all. The staff was friendly and helpful, and check-in was quick and easy.

    Overall, Markham Park is a perfect spot for a quick getaway or a longer camping trip. I’ll definitely be coming back!

    Monument Lake Campground — Big Cypress National Preserve

    Naturaleza salvaje

    La primera vez que fui me impactó muchísimo porque desde la entrada veías los caimanes a la orilla de la calle fuera del agua y bastante cerca de las tiendas de campaña. Hay baños y algo se señal de T-Mobile

    Panther Camp — Big Cypress National Preserve

    Great spot to disconnect. Primitive. Free.

    I have hammock camped twice at this location. There is no cost to stay, no reservations needed. You can fill out a permit from the website. However I have never been asked for it. The trail in can be muddy depending on the time of year. 5 miles from the entrance on the Blue trail, it is a tree grove with a picnic table and firepit. Large and maintained by the FTA, space for 10+ tents and hammocks. There is a water hole in the back of the camp which can be filtered. However a gator generally lives there. Better to pack your water in. Strong cell signal due to cell towers at the rest stop.

Great place to relax," remarks one visitor about C.B. Smith Park. These parks function as accessible retreats without requiring long-distance travel.

Clean, maintained facilities: Topeekeegee Yugnee Park Campground receives consistent praise for upkeep. "Very well lit at night with security. The RV park is located in the back of the county park, so there is plenty to do: water park, outdoor gym and regular play areas for kids," notes a visitor.
