Camping near Three Lakes, Florida
Three Lakes sits in southern Miami-Dade County, within easy reach of both the Everglades and the upper Florida Keys. RV travelers use it as a base for exploring Everglades National Park, Biscayne National Park, and the beaches of Miami Beach and Key Biscayne, all within about an hour's drive.
Private RV parks in the area handle most demand. Miami Everglades RV Resort sits on tropical grounds near the park entrance, while Southern Comfort RV Resort, Goldcoaster RV Resort, and The Boardwalk cluster in the Homestead and Florida City corridor south of Three Lakes. Florida Park Miami offers another option closer to the urban core. Most of these parks lean toward long-stay snowbirds in winter, so short-stay travelers should book well ahead.
Inside Everglades National Park, Flamingo Campground and Long Pine Key Campground provide the only frontcountry drive-in sites, managed by the Flamingo Adventures concession rather than the private resorts.
Things to do near Three Lakes
Everglades National Park is the headline attraction. Drive the Main Park Road from the Homestead entrance toward Flamingo for wildlife viewing, ranger walks at Royal Palm, the Anhinga Trail boardwalk, and boat tours on Florida Bay. Airboat operators along Tamiami Trail run shorter trips through the sawgrass.
Biscayne National Park, about an hour east, is largely underwater and best explored by snorkel, dive, or boat trip from Convoy Point. Big Cypress National Preserve lies to the west, with scenic drives and alligator sightings along Loop Road.
Closer to camp, Homestead and the Redland farming district have fruit stands, tropical nurseries, and Homestead-Miami Speedway. Miami Beach, Vizcaya, and the Coral Gables Venetian Pool are all within a reasonable day trip north.

South Florida runs on a dry season and wet season rather than four distinct seasons. The dry season, roughly November through April, is the busiest window for RV travel. Days are warm, humidity drops, mosquitoes ease off, and Everglades wildlife concentrates around remaining water. Long Pine Key Campground inside the national park operates only during this window, typically opening in November and closing at the end of April.
Winter holidays, Presidents' Day weekend, and spring break push private RV parks in Homestead and around Miami close to full. Snowbird stays dominate January through March, so nightly and weekly sites can be scarce.
The wet season runs roughly May through October and overlaps Atlantic hurricane season. Afternoon thunderstorms are near-daily, mosquito pressure in the Everglades becomes intense, and some park facilities scale back. Rates soften, but travelers should watch tropical forecasts and be prepared to change plans.

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 campgrounds near Three Lakes
Private RV resorts such as Miami Everglades RV Resort, Southern Comfort RV Resort, Goldcoaster RV Resort, The Boardwalk, and Florida Park Miami take reservations directly through their own websites or by phone. For winter stays, booking several months ahead is standard, and monthly-stay guests often lock in sites close to a year in advance.
For the two drive-in campgrounds inside Everglades National Park, Flamingo Campground and Long Pine Key Campground are managed by Flamingo Adventures, the park concessionaire. Reservations go through the Flamingo Adventures website or its call center, not Recreation.gov, and can typically be made up to a year out. A limited number of first-come, first-served sites are held back but tend to fill by early afternoon in peak winter weeks.
Backcountry wilderness permits are handled separately through Recreation.gov.
What to expect
Terrain around Three Lakes is flat, low, and close to sea level. Sites at private resorts are generally paved or gravel pads with full water, electric, and sewer hookups, and most parks include pools, laundry, and Wi-Fi. Big-rig access is straightforward on the main highways, but some Everglades and Keys roads narrow quickly.
Inside the national park, Flamingo Campground offers a limited number of electric sites in the T-loop, solar-heated showers, and two dump stations, while Long Pine Key is more basic with no hookups. Both accept RVs, though sites are generally capped around thirty-five feet.
Expect heat, humidity, and mosquitoes anywhere near the Everglades outside the dry season. Alligators are common in canals and lakes, so swimming is off-limits in most freshwater. Cell coverage is solid near Three Lakes and Homestead but drops off deep in the park.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Three Lakes, FL
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Three Lakes, FL?
RV rental in Three Lakes is often more affordable than a Miami hotel once you factor in lodging and meals. On RVezy, travel trailers in the Three Lakes area typically run about $90 to $175 per night, Class C motorhomes around $175 to $295, and larger Class A motorhomes from $300 and up. Booking midweek or during the May to early November shoulder season is a smart way to find a cheap RV rental in Three Lakes. Tip: filter for Instant Book listings near the Kendall area to lock in pricing before snowbird season ramps up in December.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Three%20Lakes%2C%20FloridaWhat do I need to rent an RV in Three Lakes, Florida?
Renting an RV in Three Lakes is simple: a regular driver's license is all you need, with no commercial driver's license (CDL) or special RV endorsement required in Florida. RVezy approved drivers are generally 25 or older, and your ID is verified directly through the platform. Visiting from abroad? Bring an International Driving Permit (IDP) along with your original license. Most first-time renters in the Three Lakes area are approved quickly, leaving you free to plan the fun stuff like an Everglades day trip.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs RVezy insurance or protection included with my Three Lakes rental?
Yes, peace of mind is built in. Every RV rental in Three Lakes booked through RVezy includes a renter protection plan plus 24/7 roadside assistance. During checkout you choose the protection level that fits your trip, and the coverage is set by RVezy, not the host. That means a fender bender on the Florida Turnpike or a flat tire near the Everglades won't derail your vacation. Hosts cannot change or upsell your coverage, giving you confidence that your motorhome rental in Three Lakes is protected from pickup to return.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if my plans change, can I cancel my Three Lakes RV booking?
Booking is low risk. RVezy (not the individual host) sets and manages cancellation policies, and there is a grace period right after booking so you can confirm your dates with confidence. If a hurricane or named tropical storm threatens South Florida, RVezy's support team will help review your options, which matters during Atlantic hurricane season from June 1 to November 30. Head to your RVezy dashboard or chat with support to review your specific trip. Tip: book early for winter dates when Three Lakes RV inventory tightens with snowbird demand.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Three Lakes RV trip?
Yes. Pet-friendly RV rentals in Three Lakes are easy to find on RVezy: toggle the Pet-Friendly filter to see motorhomes and travel trailers that welcome dogs. Once you arrive, Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park has shaded trails next to Zoo Miami where leashed pets are welcome, and Amelia Earhart Park in Hialeah has a dedicated off-leash dog area. Message the host before booking to confirm pet fees and any size limits. Bring a collapsible water bowl, as South Florida heat can be intense even in spring.
miamidade.gov/global/parks/home.pageCan the RV be delivered to me in Three Lakes or to my campground?
Yes, and it is often the easiest way to start your trip. Many RVezy hosts offer delivery in the Three Lakes area, meaning the motorhome arrives at your address, hotel near Miami International Airport, or directly at a campground like Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park. The host levels the rig, hooks up power and water, and walks you through every system before handing over the keys. For first-time renters or anyone uneasy about driving a larger RV through Kendall Drive traffic, delivery is a game changer. Use the Delivery filter on RVezy and check the listing for the host's delivery rate.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Three%20Lakes%2C%20FloridaHow far can I travel on an RV road trip from Three Lakes?
Three Lakes is well positioned for a Florida road trip. From Three Lakes you can reach Everglades National Park's Ernest F. Coe Visitor Center in about 45 minutes, Key Largo in about 90 minutes, Key West in roughly 3.5 to 4 hours along the Overseas Highway, Naples in about 2 hours via I-75 (Alligator Alley), and the Orlando theme park area in about 3.5 to 4 hours up the Florida Turnpike. Most RVezy hosts include a daily mileage allowance with reasonable per-mile overage rates, and some offer RV rental with unlimited mileage. Confirm the mileage policy on the listing before you book so your RV road trip from Three Lakes stays on budget.
nps.gov/ever/planyourvisit/directions.htmWhere are the best campgrounds near Three Lakes for an RV trip?
You have great options within a short drive. Campgrounds near Three Lakes include Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park (about 10 minutes south with full-hookup RV sites next to Zoo Miami), Miami Everglades RV Resort in Southwest Miami-Dade (about 20 minutes with a pool and mini golf), and Boardwalk RV Resort in Homestead near the gateway to the Keys and Everglades National Park. For a wilderness experience, Long Pine Key Campground inside Everglades National Park is roughly an hour away. Book winter dates 3 to 6 months ahead since December through March fills quickly with snowbirds.
miamidade.gov/global/parks/larry-and-penny-thompson.pageWhen is the best time of year for an RV trip in Three Lakes?
Winter is the sweet spot. The best window for RV camping in Three Lakes is mid-November through April, when daytime highs typically sit in the 72 to 80 degree Fahrenheit range, humidity drops, and mosquitoes thin out. May to October brings highs in the upper 80s to low 90s, high humidity, and near-daily afternoon thunderstorms, which is fine for the pool but tough for hiking the Everglades. Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, with peak risk in August and September. Tip: late October through early December offers warm weather, fewer crowds than January, and shoulder-season pricing on your Three Lakes RV trip.
weather.gov/mfl/climateI have never rented an RV before, will I be okay driving in the Miami area?
You will be in good hands. Every RVezy host provides a hands-on walkthrough at pickup covering driving, hookups, slide-outs, the generator, and dump procedures, so first time renting an RV in Three Lakes feels manageable. For the Miami metro, a Class C motorhome or travel trailer under 25 feet makes Kendall Drive, US-1, and the Florida Turnpike easier to navigate. Avoid rush hour on the Palmetto Expressway (roughly 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 7 p.m.) or consider RV delivery to skip city driving entirely. Tip: practice in a large, empty parking lot before heading to the Keys.
flhsmv.gov/safety-center/driving-safety/What happens if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
You are not on your own. Every RVezy booking includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the renter protection plan, covering services such as tire changes, jump starts, lockouts, fuel delivery, and towing across South Florida. If the air conditioning quits in August heat or you get a flat on the Overseas Highway, one phone call gets help dispatched. Your host is also typically a quick text away to troubleshoot quirks like the water pump or awning, and RVezy's customer support is available before, during, and after your trip, so a campervan rental in Three Lakes hiccup does not have to ruin your vacation.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Three Lakes RV rental out of Florida or into the Bahamas or Mexico?
Interstate travel within the U.S. is generally allowed, but international travel is not. Many RVezy hosts in Three Lakes welcome trips into Georgia, Alabama, or up the East Coast, but always confirm directly on the listing before booking. Travel into Mexico is not permitted because RVezy insurance and protection coverage end at the U.S. border, and the Bahamas requires shipping that is not practical for an RV. Popular cross-state routes from Three Lakes include the Tamiami Trail to Naples, I-75 north toward St. Augustine, and the Overseas Highway to the Keys.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityWhat kind of fuel mileage and gas budget should I plan for?
Budgeting is easier than you think. Class B campervans average around 18 to 22 miles per gallon (MPG), Class C motorhomes about 8 to 12 MPG, and Class A motorhomes about 6 to 10 MPG. Florida gas prices in the Miami-Dade area typically run close to the national average, and most stations along US-1 and the Florida Turnpike easily accommodate RVs. For a typical 4-day Three Lakes to Key West round trip (around 320 miles), expect to spend roughly $90 to $160 on fuel in a Class C. Tip: fuel up at truck stops near Florida City before heading into the Keys, where prices can climb the farther south you drive.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far in advance should I book a campground near Three Lakes?
Earlier is better, especially in winter. For November through April, reserve Miami-Dade County campgrounds like Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park 3 to 6 months ahead through the county's reservation system. Florida State Parks, including Bahia Honda and John Pennekamp Coral Reef in the Keys, open bookings 11 months in advance, and prime sites get snapped up quickly. Everglades National Park sites at Flamingo and Long Pine Key book through Recreation.gov, often months out. Summer is more relaxed and you can often grab a site a week ahead. Tip: set a calendar reminder for the 11-month booking window to score a waterfront Keys site.
recreation.gov/camping/gateways/2725What are driving conditions like around Three Lakes and South Florida?
Mostly flat, well-paved, and RV-friendly, with a few things to know. Three Lakes sits in southwest Miami-Dade with easy access to the Florida Turnpike, US-1, and SW 152nd Street, all wide and RV-appropriate. Avoid low-clearance areas in downtown Miami and on Miami Beach (some causeways and parking garages cap at 7 to 8 feet) and skip the narrow neighborhood streets of Coconut Grove. Summer afternoon thunderstorms can drop heavy rain quickly, so pull over and wait it out. Watch for sudden lane closures on the Palmetto Expressway. The Overseas Highway to Key West is beautiful but bridge crosswinds call for both hands on the wheel.
fl511.com/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near Three Lakes?
South Florida campgrounds are well equipped. Most parks near Three Lakes offer full hookups (water, 30/50 amp electric, sewer), Wi-Fi, laundry, swimming pools, and dump stations. Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park has RV sites with hookups and a dump station on site. Miami Everglades Resort adds a heated pool, mini golf, and a dog park. For potable water fills and dump stations en route to the Keys, Boardwalk RV Resort in Homestead and Sunshine Key RV Resort on Big Pine Key are reliable stops. Tip: top off freshwater tanks before crossing into the Keys, where prices and availability tighten the farther south you drive.
miamidade.gov/global/parks/larry-and-penny-thompson.pageWhat is included inside the RV I rent in Three Lakes?
More than you might expect, since the RV is move-in ready. Typical RVezy rentals in the Three Lakes area come with a full kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, sink, cookware), a bathroom with toilet and shower, sleeping for 2 to 8 people, air conditioning (essential in Miami), heating, a dinette, seatbelted travel seats, and often a TV, Bluetooth stereo, and outdoor awning. Many hosts include a generator for off-grid stays in the Everglades, plus linens, towels, and basic kitchen kits as add-ons. Wi-Fi varies, with some rigs offering onboard routers and others relying on your phone hotspot. Check the listing's amenities tab to match the rig to your trip.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Three%20Lakes%2C%20FloridaWhat add-ons and pickup options should I know about?
You can customize the trip to match how you want to travel. Popular Three Lakes host add-ons include camp chairs and tables, bedding and linen packages, portable BBQs, generators for boondocking, bike racks, and propane refills. Pickup is typically at the host's address in the Kendall, Three Lakes, or Homestead area, or you can pay for delivery to your campground or hotel. Mileage policies usually include a set number of free miles per day with overage charges per mile, and some hosts offer unlimited mileage packages. Confirm everything in the listing or message the host before you book.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Three%20Lakes%2C%20FloridaHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is straightforward and fully online, with no cash exchange at pickup. When you book your rent an RV in Three Lakes trip, RVezy charges your credit card for the rental, protection plan, taxes, and any selected add-ons. A refundable security deposit is held separately on your card before pickup and released after a clean return. To make returns smooth: complete a walkthrough with the host at pickup and drop-off, take date-stamped photos of the exterior and interior, return the rig with the agreed fuel and waste-tank levels, and stay within your mileage allowance.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksHow do I handle the South Florida summer heat in an RV?
With the right prep, summer in a Three Lakes RV is genuinely enjoyable. Motorhome rentals in Three Lakes on RVezy come with roof-mounted air conditioning, but plan to stay plugged into 30 or 50 amp shore power when possible, since running AC off battery or a small generator will struggle to keep up with afternoon highs in the upper 80s and low 90s. Travel and sightsee in the early morning or after 6 p.m., and use mid-day for pool time at your campground. Park in the shade, close blinds on the sunny side, and keep water on hand. Tip: book a full-hookup site at Miami Everglades Resort or Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park so AC can run around the clock.
