Honey’s Place is a lovely jungle oasis in the heart of an urban neighborhood. John was a great host and very responsive. He has created a little piece of paradise and made us feel completely welcome. We made trips to Hollywood Beach Boardwalk, South Beach, and Miami downtown. The chickens and peacock were very friendly. We loved this unique place!

Jose was a wonderful, very friendly, and helpful host. If you're traveling to Miami in a motorhome, this is a great place to park close to the city center.
Uber is a quick and affordable way to get to the city center.

A gem of a HipCamp that is a perfect stop before heading to the Keys. Really enjoyed a quick overnight stay. The site itself is secluded and really great looking. The only issues are a little tight entry gate for any longer RVs. There was also some noice from a next door property in the morning, but I would definitely say not the fault of the host.
Last thing is road right outside the property is not the best maintained gravel road, but it is ok if you go slow, and only a couple of hundred feet from the Main Street to the property.

This campsite was an absolute dream! It felt like discovering a private oasis tucked away in nature. The private lagoon was stunning — peaceful, and perfect for a swim or a relaxing canoe ride. Having our own canoe to explore the water made the experience even more special.
The evening was just as magical, sitting by the fireplace under the stars. It was quiet, cozy, and the perfect spot to unwind and disconnect.
The host was incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. You can tell they put a lot of care into maintaining the place — everything was spotless and thoughtfully set up.
If you’re looking for a serene getaway surrounded by nature, this is the perfect spot. Can’t wait to return! 🌿🔥🛶

Sandra and Joe were great! Sandra was quick to respond to messages. They were very understanding when we had RV issues and had to arrive after dark. Joe came out and helped with the gate and letting us know where to park. The grounds were beautiful. Our dog was very welcome there. Definitely would recommend them to anyone looking for a peaceful place to stay.

Honey’s Place is a true hidden gem — a magical tropical oasis right in the middle of Miami. The lush surroundings felt like a little paradise escape, and we especially loved watching the sunset on the pond from the boat — it was pure magic. Everything was peaceful, welcoming, and beautifully kept. We’d definitely come back and can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking for a relaxing, nature-filled getaway in the city!

The location is ideal—tucked away in a quiet area that allows you to relax, yet conveniently close to everything. It's just a short drive to the beach, and there are plenty of great restaurants, shops, and attractions nearby, making it easy to explore the area.
The host, Chris, was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. He also provided some great local recommendations that really enhanced our trip. Additionally, the RV offered a comfortable space, equipped with all the essentials needed for the stay.

I absolutely recommend this hipcamp.
The hosts- Jose & Eileen are soo friendly, you feel like family.
The area is very nice-super quite & safe. (Double metal gates) It is a little tight to get in but, Jose would even back it in for you.
💯 % Recommend this place.
Close to Marlins Stadium-Loan Depot Park- & it's close to Hard Rock Stadium.

Honey's place is an amazing little oasis in the heart of Miami. I was not expecting it to be as beautiful and serene as it was, but it exceeded all expectations!! John is not one of those hosts that is snooping around your campsite, but he is always reachable via message, and that makes him a great caretaker. The grounds are very clean and the location is within a 15 - 30 min drive to most attractions or major locations in Miami. My wife, mother in law, and I, loved our time at honey's place and can't wait to go back!!!

Very pleasant stay amongst the old growth avocado trees. This was a fantastic stay for us as we like minimalist camping (overland conversion, rooftop tent) We have our own water, power and ability to cook however bathroom with running water is the one thing we still at times depend on. We got both with this site, as well as a tour and some mangos from our wonderful host Joanne. Will definitely stay again.

The best camping in Oleta River State Park, FL guide
Overview
About
Welcome to Florida's largest urban park. It's where the Oleta River drains into Biscayne Bay's calm waters in North Miami. Calm waters and mangrove trails provide plenty of leisure activities in this undeveloped part of South Florida.
Bring a paddleboard, kayak, or canoe to explore the inlets and outlets of the river and bay. Bike along the trails at any time of year. Off-road bicycle trails host world-class triathlon competitions. Find shade in the towering mangroves.
The swimming from the unspoiled beaches is excellent. Make sure to bring a picnic basket for a romantic lunch or fun family time. Cast your line out to try to catch the Big One. You may not even notice the big city is mere minutes away.
Campground options vary. Rustic, air-conditioned cabins provide shelter for when it rains in the afternoon. A youth campground offers the perfect outing for scout groups and summer camps.
When to go
The ideal time to visit Oleta River State Park is during the cooler months from November to April, when the Florida heat is more forgiving and the wildlife is abundant. Summer months can be hot and humid, with a higher chance of rain, which may affect some park activities.
Know before you go
- Check the weather forecast before your visit to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
- Remember to bring sunscreen and insect repellent to protect against the Florida sun and mosquitos.
- Accessibility is a priority, so visitors with special needs can look forward to a comfortable visit.
- Stay informed about park rules and regulations to preserve the natural habitat and ensure a great experience for all.
- For any questions or concerns, contact the Statewide Information Line at (850) 245-2157.
