Best RV Parks & Resorts near Palmetto Bay, FL

Miami Everglades RV Resort is in the Miami area but it doesn't feel like Miami at all. 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. The front office staff was so helpful. We arrived after an afternoon storm had blown their power. They still checked us in with now problem. 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!

Worst part first. 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.

However, this place spoiled us, it’s one of the nicest RV resorts I’ve ever seen, the lots were spacious and incredibly well maintained. I believe all the lots are privately owned or st least for sale so you are renting someone’s spot. Ours happened to have a massive tiki hut.

In terms of common amenities they are all in one central spot, they had two very nice pools, an area for hanging out under tables and tikis. The gym, library and bar were not open #COVID. They also pick up your trash every morning which is awesome. They “prefer” newer RVs and only allow class A.

If your looking for a place where you are self contained in a beautiful spot, this is worth looking at.

Myself, my husband, and our 2 year old son recently started camping as a family. We originally chose Miami Everglades RV Resort as a site to test our new equipment. It is close to home, so we figured if something went wrong, we’d just pack up and come home. Much to our surprise, this site is extremely nice! It is very clean, upkept well, and all staff were extremely helpful. 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. Even though this was a “test site” for us, our experience was so good and so relaxing that we will be back!

The staff has always been INCREDIBLY RUDE, except for Ferni and Crystal who left due to the toxic environment. Hot tub is broken CONSTANTLY. They almost impounded our travel trailer claiming we abandoned it there, even though they were getting paid $1,000 a month for us to have it there. They took payment from someone who used a credit card of mine who is not an authorized user. They should not have been able to charge me for the last month that we had to pay in full even though we were there only half. Now I have to fight to get that money returned to me and from past experience, this will be ugly. The maintenance man is known to cuss people out and for being drunk. Not worth the money nor the unpleasant atmosphere. Lake Okochobee is more than half of the price and everyone there is so friendly!! I even got a trailer warming gift from my neighbor. Everyone came out to welcome me. Nice!! What a difference!! Thank you Aruba Rv resort for being so friendly and economical and right on the water and having a pool and restaurant. 

Miami is a hole

This place has seen better days and the hook ups are not in the best locations. We were there during the pandemic and many of the Canadian regulars were not there. 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.

Look, if you find yourself stuck in southern Florida, fleeing the traffic and mayhem of Miami or crossing the 6 hour mark, having departed Key West, then this layover in Hallandale Beach – which I must admit, has some pretty amazing beachheads with which to plant an umbrella and throw down a few towels to enjoy the best of what southern Florida has to offer – might be a terribly easy spot to rest your weary head. Located conveniently about 2 minutes off of I95, you’ll be able to reach the concrete campground that is Embassy RV Park and which will have a slab of concrete that it will gladly rent you for the night (or a week, month or longer if need be). There’s all the typical hook-ups from water, electric and sewage, a few scattered (albeit, ill-maintained and not terribly clean) bath houses / restrooms. You won’t find much in the way of community amenities like picnic tables or grills, so be sure to bring or unpack your own. While there’s not a lot in and around this concrete jungle variety RV Park apart from strip mall store-front shopping and fast food chains to dine at, you’ll have to head a decent ways to escape the crowds and overall busy traffic of the area. Net-net, if you’re in a fix for the night, then park here late and leave early in order to get to your destination where you can enjoy a great time that is likely the main reason why you are out camping or RV’ing in the first place, right? 

Happy Camping!

RV park with nice and and warm pool close to Miami.

Close to home weekend getaway for us but we recommend it to anyone who wants a nice relaxing rv park!

Not so much camping as much as a place you can pay to pitch a tent for a night if you need to in a pinch. Basically staying in an RV park near the water.

3 campers and two RVs crammed into overflow. NO full hookups as indicated over the phone. Showers NOT in the “bath house” adjacent to these crummy sites. 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. Florida has NO dump sites at rest or service areas! What????

This is city owned and operated Park/Campground. This fact is significant. It is very pretty with lots of mature shade trees. The RV's are assigned space around several pods. Each pod has its own bathhouse with laundry facilities. There are pull through spots for the big motorhomes and spots reserved for the handicapped. The bathhouses for the RV's were in good shape and well maintained. The bathhouse for the tenters not so much. The bathhouse for the RV's is not very far to walk which I would recommend.

The tent area is off to one side and well shaded by mature trees. It's an area rather than sites. You pick your spot, put up a tent and place a large numbered sign by your area and you've got your spot. While there isn't any electric to plug into at the tent sites, water is provided interspersed throughout the area. Picnic tables and barbecue grills are also provided throughout.

There is a great fire ring with benches for bonfires and a great Beach volleyball court. The pool is clean and guarded by life guards. There is a lounge where you have access to WiFi and plus to charge your phones. The RVs have WiFi around their pods.

Tenters can stay for a Max of 7 nights while RV's can stay for 180. Tenters can only pay for 3 nights at once before returning to re-up. No such rule for RVs. There is a kind of second class feel to the tenters but if you overlook that (I recommend you do) you will have a great time. Staff is very nice and the park is clean.

The campground was very clean with full hookups and sewer directly at our camp site.

Not the best part of town

Campground in the city, great guest services, friendly staff. Near grocery store, and everything! Full hookup sites, spots are big and concrete roads, amenities like restrooms and showers are cleans, the pool is nice! Great time! Recommend

Very good rv camp ground. Easy access, good security, pretty surroundings. But pool it’s close.

This campground in heart of SFL Horse Country. (Ocala is real horse country, but this is as close as you can get south of Orlando). Full hookups, table, plus laundry facilities. Great cell signal. Space to park one vehicle onsite. Good campground to use as jumping off point to SFL attractions.
