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!

A great spot near the Lion Safari and other attractions.
The wooded area around the spot adds nice a nice feeling of privacy.
I decided to extend my stay after the first night.
The host is so kind and knowledgeable about the area.
Worth checking out.

This was my first time using this app, so I didn’t know what to expect… and let me say that it far exceeded my expectations! Vito the owner couldn’t be more friendly and accommodating! I had an issue that was a million percent my fault… I cut the corner too tight coming in and got stuck in the ditch. If this happens to you, just call Priority Towing and they’ll come get you out the way you went in!!! Vito was so helpful throughout that whole thing! The property is beautiful and peaceful. If you have dogs, there is a very well-kept backyard, but you can also walk them on the sidewalk of the main road. Would most definitely recommend this very cool and hip camp!

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.

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! 🌿🔥🛶

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!!!
