Camping near South Miami, Florida
South Miami sits in Miami-Dade County between downtown Miami and the agricultural Redland area, putting RV travelers within easy reach of two national parks, the Florida Keys, and Atlantic beaches. The closest full-service RV grounds sit south and west of the city in the Homestead and Redland corridor, with additional big-rig options north in Broward County near Hollywood.
Miami Everglades RV Resort is a large private option in the immediate area, with full-hookup sites a short drive from the main Everglades entrance and roughly an hour from Key Largo. Other nearby private grounds in the top list include Florida Park Miami, The Boardwalk, and Southern Comfort RV Resort.
For travelers willing to drive north, Hollywood KOA offers a small urban campground close to Hollywood Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami along the US-441 corridor. Public options include the drive-in Long Pine Key and Flamingo campgrounds inside Everglades National Park, both booked through the park concessioner rather than Recreation.gov.
Things to do near South Miami
Everglades National Park is the marquee day trip. The main entrance near Homestead leads to Royal Palm, Long Pine Key, and the road to Flamingo, with boardwalks, ranger programs, and paddling routes through sawgrass and mangrove. Biscayne National Park, just east, is largely water-based and popular for boat tours and snorkeling.
Families base out of South Miami for Zoo Miami, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, and the Deering Estate. Miami Beach, the Art Deco district, and Bayside are a short drive north, and Key Largo sits about an hour south for reef trips and glass-bottom boats.
At the campground level, resorts in the Redland area typically offer heated pools, laundry, dog parks, and planned winter activities, while Hollywood KOA puts guests within a short drive of the beach and downtown Hollywood.

South Florida has two clear seasons rather than four. Dry season runs from November to April with cooler, less humid air and the most active wildlife viewing, while wet season runs May through October with heat, humidity, and mosquitoes. Winter is peak RV season, and snowbird parks in the Redland and Homestead area fill months in advance.
Inside Everglades National Park, winter reservations are strongly recommended, and Flamingo and Long Pine Key campgrounds often reach capacity from December through March on weekends. In summer, sites are usually available on a first-come basis because far fewer people camp in the wet-season heat. Portions of Flamingo Campground can close due to seasonal flooding during the wet season, and ranger programs and boat concessions scale back once summer begins.
Hurricane season officially runs June through November, with peak activity from August into October. Private parks stay open, but travelers should track forecasts, keep an evacuation plan, and expect afternoon thunderstorms almost daily in summer.

Cyndi was a great host and was there to answer any questions needed. Mark was awesome with his walk through of the RV.
Ryan R. - Nov 2025
I recently had the pleasure of renting Mark and Cyndi's RV for a two-week vacation across Florida, and I cannot recommend them enough! The entire process, from the initial inquiry to returning the RV, was seamless, professional, and friendly. Here's what made my experience exceptional: Communication: Mark and Cyndi were prompt, clear, and informative in their communication. They made sure I knew everything I needed to before embarking on my adventure and were readily available to answer any questions I had during my trip. The RV: Their RV was in pristine condition and exceptionally clean. It was evident that they take great pride in maintaining their vehicle. The RV was spacious, comfortable, and equipped with all the essential amenities, making my vacation feel like a true "home away from home." Orientation and Support: Upon pickup, Mark and Cyndi provided a thorough orientation of the RV, ensuring I was comfortable with all its features and operations. They also provided a comprehensive guidebook and videos, which were extremely helpful during the trip. Additionally, they were always just a phone call away whenever I needed assistance or had questions.

How to book campsites
Private RV resorts near South Miami, including Miami Everglades RV Resort, Florida Park Miami, The Boardwalk, Southern Comfort RV Resort, and Hollywood KOA, are booked directly through each park's website or reservation line. Winter and spring dates should be locked in well ahead, often several months out, since many guests stay weeks or months at a time.
Inside Everglades National Park, Flamingo and Long Pine Key campgrounds are reserved through Flamingo Adventures, the authorized park concessioner, not Recreation.gov. Wilderness backcountry permits are booked online through Recreation.gov.
For Florida state parks in the wider region, Florida residents may reserve up to 11 months in advance and non-residents up to 10 months in advance.
What to expect on the ground
Expect flat, subtropical terrain, sandy or gravel pads, and dense vegetation between sites. Most Redland-area resorts, including Miami Everglades RV Resort, are big-rig friendly with 30- and 50-amp service, full hookups, and pull-through sites, plus pools, laundry, and dog areas. Sites can sit close together in the busy season.
Hollywood KOA is a different experience. It is a small, urban campground in the heart of the city, and guests will hear trucks, cars, planes, and everyday city noise. It works best as a base for beach and city access rather than a quiet retreat.
Bring insect repellent year-round and heavy-duty repellent for summer. Cell service is reliable at private parks but drops off inside Everglades National Park. Alligators, raccoons, and vultures are common; store food and gear accordingly.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near South Miami, FL
How much does it cost to rent an RV in South Miami, FL?
RV rental in South Miami is more affordable than most people expect, especially compared to Miami hotel rates plus a rental car. On RVezy, travel trailers typically start around $90 to $150 per night, Class C motorhomes range from about $175 to $275 per night, and Class A coaches start around $250 and up. For a cheap RV rental in South Miami, book a travel trailer with delivery so you skip needing a tow vehicle. Pro tip: prices drop noticeably from May through early November (South Florida's off-season), so a summer trip to the Keys can save you 20 to 30 percent compared to winter snowbird season.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=South%20Miami%2C%20FloridaWhat license do I need to rent an RV in South Miami?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in South Miami, no commercial driver's license (CDL) or special endorsement required, even for big Class A motorhomes. You must be 25 or older with a valid license, and RVezy verifies your identity through the platform during booking. Visiting from another country? Bring your home license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) and you're set. The process is simple: book online, upload your license, and you're ready to plan your Florida Keys or Everglades adventure.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs insurance and roadside assistance included with my RV rental in South Miami?
Yes, every booking on RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit the Overseas Highway with real peace of mind. At checkout you choose from different protection plan tiers depending on how much coverage you want, and the plan covers most damages to the RV. Roadside assistance is included with every protection plan, which matters in South Florida where afternoon thunderstorms, a flat on US-1, or a dead battery at a Keys campground can happen. You pick your protection level, not the host, so you stay in control of coverage for your South Miami RV trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat is the cancellation policy if my South Miami trip changes?
Booking is genuinely low-risk: RVezy (not individual hosts) sets the cancellation policy, and there is a grace period after booking during which you can get a full refund if your plans change. That's reassuring when you're planning around hurricane season, family schedules, or flight changes into Miami International Airport (MIA). Refunds depend on how far in advance you cancel and the circumstances. Because it's a platform-wide policy, you won't see it on individual listings, but RVezy support is available before, during, and after your trip if anything comes up. Book with confidence, knowing flexibility is built in.
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 South Miami?
Absolutely, South Miami is one of the most dog-friendly corners of Florida, and finding a pet-friendly RV rental in South Miami is easy on RVezy, just use the Pet-Friendly filter on the search page. Once you're on the road, you've got great options: Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park in southwest Miami-Dade welcomes leashed dogs, and Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park on Key Biscayne allows pets in designated areas. Heading south to the Keys? Bahia Honda State Park permits leashed dogs on most beaches and campsites. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet fees and any breed or size notes so check-in is smooth.
floridastateparks.org/learn/pets-florida-state-parksCan the RV be delivered to my campground or vacation rental in South Miami?
Yes, RV delivery in South Miami is one of the most popular options on RVezy, and it's a game-changer if it's your first time renting an RV. Many hosts will tow or drive the RV directly to your campground, vacation rental, or even a private driveway in neighborhoods like Coral Gables, Pinecrest, or down to Homestead, then level it, hook up water and power, and walk you through every system. Filter for Delivery on the search page to see hosts who offer it. Pro tip: delivery to popular spots like Larry and Penny Thompson Park or Miami Everglades RV Resort is common, ask the host for a flat delivery quote based on mileage from South Miami.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=South%20Miami%2C%20FloridaHow far can I drive on a South Miami RV trip, and is unlimited mileage available?
You can absolutely build a big South Miami RV trip itinerary, and yes, RV rental with unlimited mileage is available from many hosts on RVezy. Each host sets their own mileage policy, so the daily allowance and per-mile overage rate are shown right on the listing. From South Miami you're 60 miles to Key Largo, 165 miles to Key West, 45 miles to Everglades National Park's Flamingo Campground, about 230 miles to Naples on the Gulf Coast, and 340 miles up I-95 to Orlando. Pro tip: if you're planning a Keys-and-Everglades loop, filter for unlimited mileage listings to keep your budget predictable.
nps.gov/ever/planyourvisit/directions.htmWhere are the best campgrounds near South Miami for an RV trip?
You're surrounded by excellent options. Top picks near South Miami include Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park (about 12 miles southwest, with full hookups and a freshwater lake), Miami Everglades RV Resort in Homestead (great base for Everglades National Park, with a pool), and Boardwalk RV Resort in Homestead. Drive an hour south and you'll find Long Key State Park and John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park in Key Largo, both legendary for RV camping in South Miami getaways. Pro tip: state park sites in the Florida Keys book up 11 months in advance through ReserveAmerica, so set a calendar reminder the moment your dates open.
floridastateparks.org/parks-and-trails/john-pennekamp-coral-reef-state-parkWhen is the best time of year to rent an RV in South Miami?
South Miami is a true year-round destination, but the sweet spot for an RV trip is mid-November through April, when daytime highs sit around 75 to 82 degrees Fahrenheit, humidity drops, and mosquitoes calm down. This is peak season, so book your RV and campgrounds early. Summer (June through September) brings highs in the upper 80s to low 90s with daily afternoon thunderstorms and hurricane season running June 1 to November 30, but rentals are cheaper and the Keys are quieter. Shoulder months like late April, May, and October are the smart-money pick: warm water, fewer crowds, and lower rates. Pro tip: track the National Hurricane Center forecast if you're traveling July through October.
weather.gov/mfl/climateI've never rented an RV before, will I be okay driving one around South Miami?
You'll be just fine, and you're not alone, most renters on RVezy are first-timers. Every host gives you a hands-on orientation at pickup, walking you through driving, leveling, hookups, tanks, and the generator, so you're never left guessing. For first time renting an RV in South Miami, here are the local tips that matter: skip downtown Miami and Miami Beach with anything over 25 feet (low parking garages and tight streets), use US-1 and the Florida Turnpike for smooth driving south, and ask your host about a travel trailer with delivery so you don't have to drive the rig at all. You can also message the host with questions before you ever book.
fdot.gov/traffic/trafficservices/studies/access/accessman.shtmWhat happens if my RV breaks down during my South Miami trip?
You're covered. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so whether you're stuck on the Seven Mile Bridge, at a campground in Homestead, or pulled over on Krome Avenue, help is one phone call away. Roadside assistance handles flat tires, dead batteries, lockouts, towing, and fuel delivery. You can also message your host directly through the RVezy app for quick guidance on quirks specific to their RV, and RVezy customer support is available before, during, and after your trip. Pro tip: save the roadside number to your phone before you leave South Miami, cell service can get patchy past Marathon in the Keys.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my South Miami RV rental to other states or out of the country?
Yes, an RV road trip from South Miami up the East Coast is totally doable, with popular routes heading to Orlando (about 3.5 hours), Savannah (about 8 hours), and even the Smoky Mountains. Each host sets their own out-of-state policy, so check the listing or message the host to confirm before booking. Travel to Mexico is not allowed on RVezy rentals because insurance and protection coverage do not extend there. Cross-border travel to Canada may be possible with host approval, but it's a long haul from South Florida. Pro tip: if you plan to leave Florida, share your full route with the host upfront so they can confirm mileage allowances and any one-way fees.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel mileage and gas budget should I plan for in South Miami?
Plan smart and the fuel budget is manageable. Class B campervans get around 18 to 22 miles per gallon (MPG), Class C motorhomes average 8 to 12 MPG, Class A coaches run 6 to 10 MPG, and travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle, usually 10 to 14 MPG combined. Florida gas prices typically run a bit below the national average, and you'll find plenty of stations along US-1, the Florida Turnpike, and Tamiami Trail. For a Key West round trip from South Miami (about 330 miles), budget roughly $90 to $150 in fuel for a Class C. Pro tip: fill up in Florida City before heading into the Keys, prices climb noticeably once you hit Key Largo.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near South Miami?
For the best spots, book early. Florida State Park campgrounds (including Bahia Honda, Long Key, and John Pennekamp) open reservations exactly 11 months ahead through ReserveAmerica, and Keys sites disappear within minutes during winter season. Miami-Dade County parks like Larry and Penny Thompson can usually be booked 2 to 6 months out. Private RV resorts in Homestead and Florida City have more flexibility but still fill up December through March. Pro tip: if your dream Keys spot is full, set up an RV rental with delivery to a private campground in Homestead and day-trip into the Keys, the drive is gorgeous and you'll save 30 to 50 percent on the site fee.
floridastateparks.reserveamerica.com/What are driving conditions like around South Miami and the Keys?
Driving an RV around South Miami is straightforward if you stick to the right roads. US-1 (South Dixie Highway) and the Florida Turnpike are wide, flat, and RV-friendly all the way south to Florida City. The Overseas Highway to Key West is the iconic drive, two lanes, ocean on both sides, and a 55 mph limit, easy in any motorhome. Avoid downtown Miami, Miami Beach causeways during rush hour, and any garage with a clearance under 12 feet. Watch for sudden afternoon thunderstorms from June to September and king tide flooding on coastal roads in fall. Pro tip: drive the Seven Mile Bridge in early morning light for the calmest winds and the best photos of your South Miami RV trip.
fl511.com/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near South Miami?
South Florida campgrounds are well-equipped for RV camping in South Miami trips. Larry and Penny Thompson Park offers full hookups (water, 30/50 amp electric, sewer), hot showers, a lake, and a dump station. Miami Everglades RV Resort has full hookups, a pool, Wi-Fi, and laundry. State parks like Bahia Honda and John Pennekamp provide water and electric at most sites with centralized dump stations and potable water fills. Pro tip: fresh water in the Keys can taste briny, so top off your tank in Homestead or Florida City before heading south, and always carry a 25-foot drinking-water hose plus a basic water pressure regulator (some Keys parks run high pressure).
miamidade.gov/parks/larry-penny-thompson.aspWhat features and amenities come standard in a South Miami RV rental?
You'll be impressed by how loaded these rigs are. Most motorhome rental South Miami options on RVezy come with a real bed (often a queen), a kitchen with fridge, stove, microwave, and sink, a bathroom with toilet and shower, roof-mounted air conditioning (essential in Florida), a propane furnace, dinette, and seatbelted seats for travel. Many include a generator, outdoor awning, outdoor speakers, and a flat-screen TV. Wi-Fi and solar are common upgrades. Campervan rental South Miami options (Class B) are more compact but include the same essentials in a drivable footprint. Pro tip: check the listing's amenities list and message the host if anything's missing, many include kitchen kits, beach chairs, or snorkel gear as freebies.
energy.gov/energysaver/recreational-vehicle-energy-efficiencyWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about for my South Miami RV rental?
Hosts on RVezy offer some genuinely useful add-ons for your South Miami trip: delivery and setup, generator use, propane refills, kitchen and linen kits, bike racks, outdoor grills, beach gear, and even paddleboards. Each add-on price is listed transparently on the listing. Pickup is usually at the host's home in neighborhoods like South Miami, Kendall, Pinecrest, or Cutler Bay, with a 30 to 60 minute orientation walkthrough. Mileage policies vary by host (some unlimited, some 100 to 150 miles per day with a small per-mile overage). Pro tip: ask about delivery to Miami International Airport (MIA) or your hotel if you're flying in, many hosts include a free first 10 to 20 miles of delivery within South Miami.
miami-airport.com/ground_transportation.aspHow does payment and the security deposit work when I rent an RV in South Miami?
Payment is simple and secure. You pay directly through RVezy with a credit or debit card, never in cash to the host, and your booking total covers the nightly rate, service fee, your chosen protection plan, and any add-ons. A refundable security deposit is held separately (typically $500 to $1,500 depending on the RV) and released after your trip assuming there's no damage or excessive cleaning. To avoid any issues, do a thorough walkaround with your host at pickup and dropoff, take photos and video, and return the RV with the agreed fuel and tank levels. Pro tip: keep gas and dump receipts from your South Miami RV trip, they're your proof if a question ever comes up.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksWhere can I legally park an RV overnight in South Miami outside of a campground?
Here's the honest local scoop: the City of South Miami does not allow overnight parking on any paid on-street parking, and overnight parking is only permitted at the South Miami Parking Garage with a digital overnight permit, which is geared toward cars, not big rigs. For your RV, plan to stay at a real campground, Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park, Miami Everglades RV Resort, or Boardwalk RV Resort in Homestead are all within 30 minutes. In unincorporated Miami-Dade, you may park a registered RV up to 30 feet long on a private driveway short term. Pro tip: if you're picking up the RV the day before your trip, ask your host about staging it at their place overnight.
