Miami-Dade has a handful of RV campgrounds, including Larry and Penny Thompson Park in South Dade. Most RV owners here use storage lots. Traffic is heavy on I-95, the Palmetto Expressway and the Turnpike, and breaking down is stressful.
Where we work
RV parks and county campgrounds. Storage lots throughout the county. And the highways.
What we see here
Heat and humidity that never really let up. Lead-acid batteries here have short lives. See how long RV batteries last in Florida.
Storage. Many RVs sit for months in storage.
Event RVs around stadiums and events.
If you break down
Get off the highway if you can. Many shoulders here are narrow. Then text us where you are.
Camping in and around Miami
Full RV parks are scarce close to downtown Miami, so most RVers here stay at the edges of the county. Larry and Penny Thompson Park, a Miami-Dade County park next to Zoo Miami, has an RV campground. Others stay at private parks toward Homestead and Florida City, or come in for the Port of Miami and stay a night or two before a cruise or a Keys trip.
Getting to you in Miami traffic
Miami traffic is the biggest variable on a visit here. The Palmetto Expressway (SR 826), I-95, the Dolphin Expressway (SR 836) and the Florida Turnpike's Homestead Extension all back up at rush hour. Tell us where the RV is and we will give you a realistic window, not a best-case one.
Heat, rain and storms
Miami is hot all year, and the rainy season from about June through October brings daily afternoon thunderstorms. Heat is the main thing that wears out lead-acid batteries here. If you keep an RV in Miami-Dade through the summer, a battery test before hurricane season is cheap insurance. See hurricane season prep.
