Homestead and Florida City are at the southern end of the Turnpike. From here, US 1 heads south across the 18-mile stretch to Key Largo and the Overseas Highway. Everglades National Park's main entrance is just west, with the Flamingo campground at the end of the park road. Biscayne National Park is to the east.
Where we work
RV parks in Homestead and Florida City. Campgrounds near the national park entrances. Storage lots. And the south end of the Turnpike and US 1.
The last good stop
If your batteries are older or giving you trouble, Homestead is the place to sort it out before heading into the Keys or the Everglades. A battery test here is much easier than a fix on a bridge or at Flamingo, about 38 miles down the park road.

What we see here
Heat that is hard on batteries. Salt from Biscayne Bay. And winter visitors heading to and from the Keys.
The gateway to the Everglades and the Keys
Homestead and Florida City sit at the southern end of the Florida Turnpike, where US 1 heads south to Key Largo. Everglades National Park is just west, with campgrounds at Long Pine Key and Flamingo. Biscayne National Park is to the east. Homestead-Miami Speedway brings in RV crowds on race weekends.
Before you head into the park or down to the Keys
Flamingo is about 38 miles from the park entrance, at the end of a road with no services. The Keys are a long, two-lane drive with limited parking for big rigs. If your batteries are weak, Homestead is the place to deal with it. A test takes a few minutes.
Farm country and heat
The Redland agricultural area around Homestead is open and sunny, which is good for solar and hard on batteries sitting in the sun. Owners who store RVs here through summer often lose a battery to heat and slow drain. See summer storage.

Miami to the north, Key Largo to the south.
