This unique haven challenges traditional farming norms, embracing permaculture principles and providing a holistic education on sustainable living. The Agroforestry Oasis: This agroforestry site thrives as a harmonious blend of natural elements.

Birds, insects, and small mammals find solace in this haven, creating a unique urban wildlife ecosystem. The refuge highlights the importance of preserving green spaces within cities for biodiversity and ecological balance. Permaculture Education: Classes on permaculture gardening and natural cooking form the core of the educational experience offered on the site. Participants learn not just about cultivation but also about the interconnectedness of ecosystems. These classes empower individuals to apply permaculture principles in their own lives, fostering a sense of responsibility towards the environment. Campfire Gatherings: At the heart of the agroforestry site lies a community space, where campfires flicker at individual camping sites and merge into a grand communal fire. This space fosters a sense of community, encouraging shared experiences and conversations under the open sky. It exemplifies the essence of coming together to appreciate and learn from nature. Nature's Unfiltered Beauty: Unlike manicured gardens, this facility proudly stands in its natural state.

Feel the connection between nature and sustainable living, learn about permaculture, and revel in the simplicity of a campfire under the stars. Witness the beauty that emerges when humans and nature coexist harmoniously. In this city oasis, the agroforestry site isn't just a piece of land; it's a living, breathing classroom where the lessons are taught by the wind in the trees, the rustling of leaves, and the vibrant life that thrives in every corner. It's time to appreciate nature and learn about how it works, not just as observers but as active participants in the dance of life.

Camping near Fort Lauderdale guide

Overview

Florida camping near Fort Lauderdale is just as much about the land as it is about the water. The pristine, aquamarine waters of the nearby Florida Keys call out to divers and snorkelers as they come face-to-face with sea turtles and more than 600 native fish. The saltwater marshes, wetlands, and mangrove forests offer a quintessential Florida experience with great wildlife viewing opportunities—tour by airboat to spot local gators and manatees. Hipcampers can rough it in the backcountry, with plenty of great hiking and biking spots or indulge in a glamping spot or peaceful cabin by the lake. Fort Lauderdale camping is as diverse as the area’s flora and fauna.

Where to go

Everglades National Park

Less than a 90-minute drive southwest of Fort Lauderdale, Everglades National Park covers over 1.5 million acres of wetlands. Hipcampers looking for a standard Florida wildlife adventure love exploring the marshes and mangroves, home to alligators, manatees, anhinga, and even Florida panthers. Choose between tent camping, RV camping, and group sites in the frontcountry, or go deeper to stay a few nights in the backcountry “chickees.” Accessible only by water, these wooden structures with thatched roofs and open sides stand a few feet above the water.

Biscayne National Park

Most parks have a lot of land, with maybe a river running through them or lakes in the middle. Biscayne National Park is the exact opposite: It’s mostly water with a few spots of land. Ideal for boating, canoeing, or kayaking, this is where you’ll find North America’s only living coral barrier reef. Dive among the wealth of biodiversity, including moray eels, sea turtles, anemones, dolphins, and more. Make advance reservations at Elliot Key Group Campground if you want campsite grills, showers, and drinking water.

Jonathan Dickinson State Park

North of Fort Lauderdale, just past the nightlife scene in West Palm Beach, Jonathan Dickinson State Park is the largest state park in southeast Florida. A nature lover’s paradise, its 11,500 acres of preserved coastal land are home to 13 natural habitats. Explore some of them via hiking trails, boat tours, canoeing, or even horse-pulled wagon and watch the landscape transition from mangrove swamps to coastal sand hills, pine scrub forests, and upland lakes. The Elsa Kimbell Environmental Education and Research Center offers family programming, great for learning more about the area’s history. Don’t forget to visit the former home of Trapper Nelson, known as the “Wildman of the Loxahatchee.”

When to go

The best time to go camping near Fort Lauderdale is during the winter months, between December and April. It’s still quite warm, since this is Florida, after all. Daytime highs hover in the 70s with overnight lows in the 60s. Rain is minimal, and wildlife viewing is better during winter, too. Summer camping isn’t recommended, not only because of the unbearably hot temperatures, but because summer is the wettest, muggiest, and stormiest time with the added threat of hurricanes.
