Miami area?

I will be going to the coral gables area over the Christmas holidays to attend a sailing event for my son. I have not found anything nearby, the parks all seem to be quite a distance from the Miami area. Any suggestions? I have a TT, so no tenting.

    I agree with Larry and Penny as well as Miami Everglades as good locations . A bit further south and not quite sa nice is Southern Comfort in Homestead.. we stay there for the Nascar race.

    While in the area, visit the Coral Castle just south of Homestead. Amazing!


    Coral Castle is a cool place. IIRC, costs $15 per person. You can walk thru on your own, but I HIGHLY recommend a guided tour. Tour guides sit just inside the coral gate after you pay the entrance fee. It is right on Rt 1.
  • Miami Everglades is our favorite, and is close to where you want to be.
    They have full hookups, a pool and WiFi

    We use it on our way to snow birding in the Keys

  • If you like national park type campgrounds (no hook-ups) then we like the one just inside Everglades NP; has the word "pine" in it. Nice sites and bathroom; just no hook-ups. Also, further west on the Tamiami Trail is Midway Campground; another very nice NP campground but with elec hook-up. However, not very close to Miami.
