Camping sites near South Miami provide year-round outdoor access with average temperatures ranging from 61-77°F in winter and 76-89°F in summer. The flat terrain in this area sits just a few feet above sea level, with limestone bedrock forming the foundation for many campsites. Seasonal occupancy patterns shift dramatically during hurricane season when many northern travelers avoid the region.
What to do
Explore the Keys access points: Blue Fin Rock Harbor Marina & RV Park in Key Largo serves as a convenient staging area for Keys adventures. "Starting my mornings on the water, watching the sunrise on my paddle board just steps from my front door" describes one camper's daily routine at this waterfront location.
Visit local fruit stands: Miami Everglades RV Resort places campers near unique agricultural experiences. "Close to Miami Everglades is a fruit stand called Robert Is Here. Don't miss it!" recommends a visitor who used the resort as a base for exploring the region.
Use campgrounds as sporting event bases: The Southern Comfort RV Resort functions as a convenient option for sports enthusiasts. "It gets crowded during the NASCAR race as the Homestead track is 5 miles down the road," notes one camper about the increased demand during race weekends.
What campers like
Clean facilities with pool access: Paradise Island RV Resort maintains consistent cleanliness standards according to visitors. "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 clean, the pool is nice!" reports one satisfied camper.
Security features: Gated entrances provide added safety at select locations. "This place is gated for safety," mentions a reviewer of Breezy Hill RV Resort, though they also note to "be prepared for neighbors noise that the RV park cannot control. Barking dogs and loud music, etc."
Walking paths: The Boardwalk RV And Mobile Home Resort offers spacious sites and well-maintained common areas. "The lots are huge and clean," reports a recent camper who spent several days there while traveling to the Keys.
What you should know
Water quality varies by location: Some parks experience intermittent utility issues. "On several occasions our water went out (in the middle of a shower and another time during dinner prep, and yet again while doing laundry!)" reported a camper at Miami Everglades RV Resort.
Weekend staffing limitations: Expect minimal staff presence at some locations during weekends. "There is no one in the office on the weekends. If you arrive late you have to do everything online. All the site numbers are signed online," explains a visitor to Encore Sunshine Holiday in Fort Lauderdale.
Cultural demographics: Some parks host seasonal international communities. "Very large population of french speaking Canadians. Most don't/won't speak english. Hard to make any friends if you don't speak french," notes one camper about the winter demographics at Breezy Hill RV Resort.
Tips for camping with families
Pool restrictions vary: Southern Comfort RV Resort offers family amenities but with specific rules. "Large pool open year round" is highlighted by reviewers, though the resort maintains "a breed and size restriction" for pets, requiring advance verification.
Tent site safety considerations: Consider carefully if traveling with children in tents. "These tent sites are dangerous they are in the middle of the main road," cautions one camper about Southern Comfort RV Resort, adding concerns about public access during evening events.
Look for family-specific activities: Seek parks with dedicated recreational facilities. "They have a really nice big pool, shuffleboard, putt putt golf, arcade and walking trail," notes a visitor about the family-friendly amenities at Miami Everglades RV Resort.
Tips from RVers
Site access challenges: Encore Sunshine Holiday presents navigation difficulties for larger rigs. "I could hardly get my RV and Car Trailer through the campground," reports one RVer, though they found "Restrooms were great and staff were helpful" once established.
Site placement concerns: Request specific site locations when possible. "Upon arrival with numerous sites available, they put us in a spot almost on top of the sewage dump and dumpsters. We would have been eating on top of my neighbors sewage hose," recounts one RVer at Miami Everglades RV Resort who had to request relocation.
Concrete pad advantages: Certain parks offer better surface options for RV leveling. "Sites throughout the region tend to be closely spaced, particularly during winter months when seasonal residents arrive," but Paradise Island RV Resort receives positive mentions for its "big and concrete" spots which provide more stability than grass or dirt sites.
