City-managed camping on level asphalt provides a budget-friendly overnight option in an established neighborhood setting. South City Park operates as a parking lot-style campground with 30 and 50-amp electric hookups plus water connections for RVs up to 40 feet. A city employee collects the $11 nightly fee between 3:00 PM and 11:30 PM, with police patrols providing security throughout the evening hours.
The park includes playground equipment, walking trails, soccer fields, and baseball diamonds that generate daytime activity but quiet down in the evening. Gates close at midnight and reopen at 7:00 AM. For additional camping choices, Caribbean Campground and Wellness Center sits a few miles west of the park.
