Camping near Homestead, Florida
Homestead sits at the southeastern edge of the Florida peninsula, positioned between Everglades National Park to the west, Biscayne National Park to the east, and the Florida Keys to the south. That geography makes it one of the most useful RV bases in South Florida. A single loop from town can cover sawgrass prairie, mangrove coastline, and coral reef in the same day.
Campground options around Homestead lean toward full-hookup private resorts on flat, tropical acreage. Miami Everglades RV Resort sits among avocado, mango, and palm trees in an agricultural area south of Miami, with Everglades National Park roughly 10 miles away and Key Largo about 30 miles south. The Boardwalk, Southern Comfort RV Resort, and Goldcoaster RV Resort round out the private options closest to town.
For campers who want to sleep inside the national park itself, Long Pine Key - Everglades National Park is located seven miles from the main entrance near Homestead, just off the main park road. It trades hookups for dark skies and direct trail access.
Things to do around Homestead
Everglades National Park is the main draw. From the Ernest F. Coe Visitor Center near Homestead, the Main Park Road runs about 38 miles south to Flamingo, passing Royal Palm, Pa-hay-okee Overlook, and Mahogany Hammock along the way. Anhinga Trail at Royal Palm is the classic short walk for alligators and wading birds. Boat options include airboat tours outside the park and ranger-led backcountry and Florida Bay tours from Flamingo.
Biscayne National Park, east of town, is almost entirely water. Rangers run boat trips to the offshore keys and reef, and the Dante Fascell Visitor Center at Convoy Point has a short shoreline walk suitable for kids.
For a change of pace, the Florida Keys start about 30 minutes south on U.S. 1, and Homestead-Miami Speedway hosts race weekends in the cooler months.

South Florida runs on two seasons, not four. The summer wet season, roughly mid-May through mid-October, is the park's slow period as temperatures rise, humidity climbs, and mosquitoes become nearly unbearable. Most visitors prefer the winter dry season, roughly mid-October through mid-May, when temperatures ease, mosquitoes subside, and wildlife concentrates around remaining water. That pattern shapes every booking decision in the area.
Winter is peak season. Snowbirds fill private resorts from January through March, and weekend sites at Everglades campgrounds should be locked in well ahead. Long Pine Key operates seasonally, roughly November through May, and closes through the hot, buggy summer.
Late summer through fall is also Atlantic hurricane season. Watch NOAA and National Hurricane Center forecasts before committing to a trip in August, September, or early October, and know an evacuation route north on Florida's Turnpike.

Reservations and booking
Private resorts around Homestead take reservations directly through their own websites or booking platforms. Miami Everglades RV Resort, The Boardwalk, Southern Comfort RV Resort, and Goldcoaster RV Resort all follow that pattern, and winter dates often require deposits well ahead of arrival, so campers targeting January through March should book months in advance.
Everglades National Park uses a separate system. Long Pine Key is one of two frontcountry camping options run by the Flamingo Adventures concession, with reservations made through the concessionaire online or by phone rather than through Recreation.gov. Some sites are held back for first come, first served arrivals, but in peak winter those can fill by early afternoon. Park entrance fees are charged in addition to camping fees. Have a backup plan if sites are full.
What to expect on the ground
Terrain around Homestead is flat, low, and open, with limestone bedrock close to the surface. Private resorts near town offer full hookups, paved or gravel pads, laundry, and pools. Miami Everglades RV Resort sits in an agricultural area south of Miami with mostly pull-through sites on grass, and sites tend to be close together with limited privacy between neighbors.
Inside the national park the experience is different. Long Pine Key has no electric hookups and no water at the sites, though a dump station and potable water fill are available. Quiet hours run from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., and generator use is limited to 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., with no generators in the tent-only loops. Bring bug spray year-round, expect strong sun with limited shade, and plan on driving to reach groceries, fuel, and reliable cell service.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Homestead, FL
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Homestead, FL?
An RV rental in Homestead is one of the better values in South Florida, especially compared to renting in Miami Beach. Travel trailers typically run $90 to $160 per night, Class C motorhomes around $175 to $275, and larger Class A rigs $300 and up. Summer (June through September) is the sweet spot for cheap RV rentals in Homestead, when snowbirds head home and hosts often drop rates. Winter (December through March) is peak season because of Everglades National Park and the Homestead-Miami Speedway, so book early. Pro tip: look for listings that include generous mileage if you are road-tripping down to the Keys or into the Glades.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Homestead,FloridaWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Homestead?
A regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Homestead, Florida. No commercial driver's license (CDL), no special RV endorsement, no Florida-specific permit. You'll just need to be 25 or older, and RVezy will verify your ID through the platform during booking, so there's no paperwork at pickup. Visiting from outside the U.S.? Bring your home-country license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your local auto club, usually under $20. Florida law treats RVs like any other passenger vehicle, which is part of why a Homestead RV trip is such an easy first-time adventure.
flhsmv.gov/driver-licenses-id-cards/Is my RV rental in Homestead protected if something goes wrong?
Yes, every RV rental in Homestead booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you are covered from the moment you pull out of the driveway. Protection plans help cover damage to the RV during your trip, giving you real financial peace of mind on the road. You choose your protection level during checkout from multiple tiers depending on how much coverage you want, so you can match it to your trip, whether that is a quiet weekend at Larry & Penny Thompson Park or a 10-day Florida loop. This removes the biggest worry most first-time renters have about renting an RV in Homestead.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Homestead RV trip?
Booking is low-risk: RVezy (not the host) sets a standardized cancellation policy, and there is a money-back grace period after you book so you can lock in your dates without stress. If a hurricane forms or plans change, RVezy's policy and support team can help, which is especially important in South Florida during Atlantic hurricane season (June 1 through November 30). You will not see a cancellation policy on individual listings because it is the same standardized RVezy process everywhere. If the host cancels, you receive a refund or travel credit. Pro tip: book your Homestead RV early for January through March (peak Everglades season) and use the grace period if your plans shift.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Homestead?
Absolutely, plenty of hosts offer pet-friendly RV rental in Homestead. Just use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy and message the host to confirm size, breed, and any cleaning fee before you book. Once you're here, your pup has options: Homestead Bayfront Park allows leashed dogs in designated areas, and Biscayne National Park's mainland Convoy Point welcomes leashed pets in parking and picnic zones. Heads up though, Everglades National Park restricts pets to developed areas, parking lots, and campgrounds (not on trails) because of alligators and wildlife. The Anne Kolb Nature Center up in Hollywood is a great pet-friendly day trip when you want a real off-leash-free hike.
nps.gov/ever/planyourvisit/pets.htmCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in Homestead?
Yes, RV delivery in Homestead is one of the most popular options on RVezy, especially for first-timers who would rather not drive a big rig through Miami-Dade traffic. Many local hosts will deliver and set up your motorhome rental in Homestead directly at popular spots like Miami Everglades RV Resort or Southern Comfort RV Resort, hook up power and water, and walk you through every system before they leave. Just turn on the Delivery filter when you search, then message hosts to confirm distance fees. Pro tip: delivery is a game-changer if you are flying into Miami International Airport (about 35 miles north) and want zero driving stress.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106914-RV-deliveryHow far can I drive on a Homestead RV trip?
You can cover a lot of ground from Homestead because it sits at the crossroads of three iconic Florida destinations. Key Largo is just 25 miles south on US-1, Miami Beach is about 40 miles north, and Key West is a 125-mile drive down the Overseas Highway. Everglades National Park's Flamingo Visitor Center is 45 miles southwest via State Road 9336. Hosts set their own mileage policy, so look for an RV rental with unlimited mileage if you're planning a long Florida loop. Many Homestead listings include 100 to 150 free miles per day, which comfortably covers Everglades, Biscayne, and Upper Keys day trips.
fdot.gov/Where are the best campgrounds near Homestead?
Homestead has some of the best campgrounds in South Florida, most within 30 minutes of downtown. Long Pine Key Campground inside Everglades National Park offers wooded sites in a pine forest with no hookups, typically open in the cooler season. Flamingo Campground, also in the park, has full-hookup and tent sites near Florida Bay with stunning sunsets. Miami Everglades RV Resort and Southern Comfort RV Resort both offer pools, full hookups, and easy access to Homestead-Miami Speedway. Larry & Penny Thompson Park, just north in Miami, has hundreds of sites year-round. Goldcoaster RV Resort rounds out the list with paved 50-amp sites. Reserve Everglades sites early on Recreation.gov.
recreation.gov/camping/gateways/2725When is the best time for RV camping in Homestead?
The best time for RV camping in Homestead is November through April, when daytime highs sit in the comfortable 70s to low 80s, humidity drops, and rainfall is minimal (January averages just 1.6 inches). This is also prime time for Everglades wildlife viewing because alligators and wading birds concentrate around remaining water holes. Summer (June through September) is hot (highs near 90), humid, and rainy with daily afternoon thunderstorms, but you'll find serious deals and uncrowded campgrounds. Pro tip: late October and early November are the local insider's sweet spot, the crowds haven't arrived, the heat has broken, and the mosquitoes are finally easing up.
weather.gov/mfl/I have never driven an RV. Is renting in Homestead a good first-timer choice?
Homestead is genuinely one of the easier places in Florida to rent an RV for the first time. Roads are flat, wide, and well-marked, and the Florida Turnpike Extension runs straight into town with generous RV-friendly lanes. Every RVezy host gives you a hands-on orientation at pickup, covering propane, slide-outs, leveling, water, and the dump tanks, so you are never left guessing. If city driving makes you nervous, choose delivery and skip the wheel entirely for setup. Pro tip: start with a Class C motorhome or travel trailer under 28 feet for your first Homestead RV trip, they handle similarly to a large pickup and fit easily in Everglades campground loops.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat happens if I have a breakdown during my Homestead RV trip?
You are covered: every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so help is one phone call away whether you are on Card Sound Road, deep in Everglades National Park, or stuck on US-1 heading to the Keys. Roadside support helps with issues like flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, and towing. Your host is also a direct resource for vehicle-specific questions (where the spare is, how the generator resets), and RVezy customer support is available before, during, and after your trip. Pro tip: cell service drops west of Florida City inside the Everglades, so screenshot the roadside number and your host's contact info before you head into the park.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take a Homestead RV rental into the Florida Keys or out of state?
Yes, an RV road trip from Homestead down US-1 to the Keys is one of the most popular itineraries on the platform, and most hosts allow it (just confirm in the booking message). You can also drive north into Georgia or up the Atlantic coast with host approval, as travel between U.S. states does not require special permits. Travel into Mexico is not allowed on RVezy rentals because insurance and protection coverage end at the border. Cross-border trips into Canada may be possible if the host approves, but most Homestead renters stick to Florida. Pro tip: the Seven Mile Bridge near Marathon is RV-friendly for standard rigs, making the Keys an easy continuation of your trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow much should I budget for fuel on a Homestead RV trip?
Fuel is the biggest variable cost, but Homestead trips tend to be efficient because distances are short and roads are flat. Class C motorhomes average 8 to 10 mpg, Class B campervans 16 to 20 mpg, and travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle. Florida gas prices in the Homestead area typically run a few cents below the state average; the Pilot Travel Center at SW 344th Street and the Wawa at SW 288th Street both offer easy RV access and diesel pumps. For a typical 7-day Homestead-to-Key-West-and-back loop (about 350 miles), budget roughly $120 to $180 in fuel for a Class C. Pro tip: fill up in Florida City, prices climb fast once you enter the Keys.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Homestead?
For peak season (December through April), book Everglades National Park campgrounds the moment your dates are firm. Flamingo and Long Pine Key sites open six months in advance on Recreation.gov and the best spots, especially waterfront at Flamingo, are gone within minutes. Private parks like Miami Everglades RV Resort and Goldcoaster fill up two to three months ahead for January and February. Summer is the opposite story: you can often book just a week out and still get a great site. Pro tip: if you're chasing the Homestead-Miami Speedway NASCAR weekend in late October or early November, lock in your campground six months out, Southern Comfort RV Resort sells out fast.
recreation.gov/camping/gateways/2725What are the driving conditions like around Homestead?
Driving conditions around Homestead are RV-friendly: flat terrain, no mountains, no tunnels, and generally light traffic once you're south of Kendall. The Florida Turnpike Extension and US-1 are the two main arteries, both with wide lanes and tall clearances. Avoid SW 137th Avenue during heavy summer rains because it's prone to flooding near the agricultural fields. Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, so check the National Weather Service Miami forecast daily in late summer. Inside Everglades National Park, State Road 9336 is a straight, slow 38-mile drive to Flamingo, watch for alligators sunning on the shoulder. Pro tip: morning drives beat afternoons, summer thunderstorms roll in like clockwork around 2 p.m.
fl511.com/What hookups and amenities will I find at Homestead campgrounds?
Most private RV parks around Homestead offer full hookups (30 and 50 amp electric, water, sewer), Wi-Fi, laundry, and pools, Goldcoaster RV Resort, Miami Everglades RV Resort, and Southern Comfort RV Resort all fit this bill. Flamingo Campground inside Everglades National Park has full hookups at some sites and a dump station for the rest. Long Pine Key is dry camping only (no hookups), but has potable water fill and a dump station near the entrance. For dumping en route, the Pilot Travel Center on SW 344th Street has an RV dump. Pro tip: top off your fresh water in Florida City before heading into the park, Flamingo's water is potable but the long drive uses what's in your tank.
nps.gov/ever/planyourvisit/flamingo-campground.htmWhat's inside a typical Homestead RV rental?
Even modest RV rentals in Homestead come surprisingly well-equipped for the subtropical climate. Expect a full kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, sink), a bathroom with shower and toilet, real beds (queen or king in most Class C and Class A units), roof air conditioning (a must in South Florida), a furnace for the occasional January cold front, and seatbelts for everyone who sleeps onboard. Many include a generator for off-grid use at Long Pine Key, plus an outdoor awning for shade. Wi-Fi hotspots and TVs are common in larger rigs. Pro tip: confirm the AC is a 15,000 BTU unit if you're traveling May through September, that extra cooling power matters when humidity hits 80 percent.
energy.gov/energysaver/central-air-conditioningWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
RVezy hosts in Homestead offer a flexible menu of add-ons that can transform your trip: kitchen kits, linens and bedding packages, camping chairs, bikes, kayaks (great for Biscayne Bay), generator fuel, and even pre-stocked groceries. Common fees include a cleaning fee ($75 to $200), a propane top-off ($30 to $60), and an extra-mileage rate if you exceed the daily allowance. Pickup is usually at the host's home in Homestead, Florida City, or Redland, with delivery available for a fee based on distance. Pro tip: ask for the kayak add-on if you're heading to Biscayne National Park, Convoy Point has a launch ramp and crystal-clear water just 15 minutes from downtown Homestead.
nps.gov/bisc/planyourvisit/things2do.htmHow does payment and the security deposit work?
Payment is simple and fully handled through RVezy, with no cash, no checks, and no awkward driveway transactions. You pay securely online when you book, and your card is also used for the refundable security deposit, which is placed as a hold (not a charge) shortly before your trip starts. Deposit amounts vary by RV type and value but typically range from $500 to $1,500 for a Homestead RV rental. The hold is released after the host confirms the RV came back in good shape, usually within a few days of return. Pro tip: take date-stamped photos and a quick walk-around video at pickup and drop-off, it is the single best way to keep your full deposit and avoid disputes.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksHow do I handle hurricane season during a Homestead RV trip?
South Florida's hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, but most summer storms are short afternoon thunderstorms, not hurricanes. The National Hurricane Center in Miami typically issues watches about 48 hours and warnings about 36 hours before tropical storm conditions are expected, giving you time to relocate. If a storm threatens, message your host immediately; RVezy's cancellation policy and support team can help in the event of natural disasters. Miami-Dade County publishes evacuation zones online so you can plan ahead. Pro tip: book your Homestead RV trip for January through April to skip hurricane risk entirely and enjoy the best Everglades wildlife season of the year.
