The best camping in South Florida

·

South Florida is buzzing—and no, it’s not because of the wet season. Camp beyond Fort Lauderdale and Miami, and you’ll encounter national parks, turquoise beaches, and coastal towns throughout Broward, Miami-Dade, and Monroe Counties. The stunning region stretches all the way through the Florida Keys, so South Florida campers can pick between campsites on the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean. Granted, football fans may not see Miami dolphins on the field, but head to Key Largo—and you may very well win the game of wildlife spotting.

Palm City, FL · 11 sites · Tents, RVs
A small but unique piece of land that was given to a family in the 1920s by the Florida Railroad Company. It stayed in the family until we purchased it. It is unique because the surrounding area does not have much tree coverage. This is due to the ground underneath, which is a vein of grey marl. This is why the area is called the Allapattah (an Indian word for Alligator) Flats. We are hoping that our county stays the way it is so people will know what Old Florida really looks like. Minutes from I-95, but surrounded by the Allapattah Flats Wildlife Management Preserve. Located on Martin Hwy, which was recently designated as a Florida Scenic Hwy. Fifteen minutes to Stuart and thirty minutes to West Palm Beach, a world away from the hustle and bustle. We realize that people also love Florida for Disney and tropical paradises but if that is what you want then this may not be your kind of place. Depending on the season and availability we may have local honey and/or firewood available for purchase.

Our guests love staying here "I really loved this place! It was quiet yet close to everything. I love walking the property and taking in all the natural beauty. He responded quickly to texts if I had a question. Very peaceful and quiet! If you don't like busy campgrounds this is the place to go to. A little piece of paradise with the pond and turtles and all his flowering trees. I also saw a peacock while there! I extended my booking for an extra day."

South Florida camping guide

Where to go

The Everglades National Park

The Everglades holds the title of the largest subtropical wilderness in the United States. Given this size, campers have plenty to see across the park’s grasslands and forests. RV and tent campgrounds come with showers, dump stations, trail access, and even grills. Once you check-in, take a leisurely hike, and try to spot flamingos, osprey, and an assortment of local species.

Biscayne National Park

Like the Everglades, Biscayne is, indeed, a national park, but it opens a different window to Southern Florida’s natural environment. Not far from Miami, Biscayne comes with glistening seas that welcome fish, coral reefs, and snorkelers alike. If you want to unwind, kick back on the sand and soak up the scenery. If you’d prefer a more active camping getaway, grab your scuba gear, kayak, or fishing pole, and take to the water. 

The Florida Keys

Salt air, vibrant sunsets, and Ernest Hemingway’s cats—the Florida Keys do it all. Key West not only marks Florida’s southernmost point, but claims the title of the country’s southernmost city. Campers can snorkel, swim, and lounge at a coastal campground. Once you’ve explored your campsite, visit Dry Tortugas National Park for even more views. A night of stargazing from your tent site may leave you tired, so grab a cuban coffee and let the Keys energize you. 

When to go

Before you go camping in South Florida, consider the weather, mosquitoes, and wildlife. Avoid coastal Florida during hurricane season, especially if you’re planning a getaway to the Florida Keys. Summer in the Everglades likewise brings bugs, whereas winter’s dry season opens the door for spotting wildlife. However, winter does come with crowds, especially in national parks and resort towns. Spring and fall make for the most neutral camping seasons.
