Easterlin Park Campground

Pleasant, well used park. If you have issues with trains, just to let you know there is some here, along with the typical vibrations that come with them. We don’t have issues with this type of thing. Slight road and airplane noise that was only noticeable to me when I woke up in the middle of the night, but not bad. I only mention this because nobody else did and some folks take issue with that type of noise. We enjoyed staying at this lush beautiful park along with those iguanas. Very nice experience.

Not the best part of town

Road in campground pretty narrow, but doable. Sites can be a little tight to back into, but also doable. Lots of vegetation and palm trees which make the sites a little more private. We had a view of the park and little lake that really opened up our site. it was very nice. I was a little creeped out about all the iguanas and lizards but am from Minnesota so not used to reptiles running around. They were harmless so not a deal breaker. They do have some pull-throughs. Our price was for peak. Totaled $50.85 with Tax and $1.00 fee.

Reservations are only by phone/in person. It's pretty simple. Location is easy to get to with easy back-in sites. Sites aren't close to each other so you have a little privacy. By far, this is the best in the area compared to the RV parks around Fort Lauderdale. Quiet except for the train which only passes throughout the day. Wifi works above average. Verizon is average. Starlink does not work due to shaded sites/trees.

In the Fort Lauderdale area, it's not a mecca of great campgrounds. However, Easterlin Park is a nice spot and is convenient to I-95 and Fort Lauderdale. The spaces in the campground are nicely landscaped to give you privacy between you and your neighbors. The road to the campground is tight, but some of the spaces are wide. You must check in prior to 5:30pm and no late night check-ins are allowed. There is a gate (they provide a code at check-in). The neighborhood outside of the park are not the best, but the park feels safe. It is a nice park with some small ponds, ducks, and a frisbee golf course. For this area, this is a nice place to spend a night or a week. We will return. No wifi, but 60 channels OTA and great data and connectivity.

This park is next to train tracks and I-95, so there is some noise. not loud, but there is noise.

We came during COVID and they are open. Restrictions include you can not go into the office, must only call, and the bathrooms and showers are shut down. There’s a lot of wildlife and sport areas. The RVs have power water and sewage at each spot. No tent camping allowed. If you leave the park after 7:30pm you need to have a code to the gate to get back in!! Also, no after hours arrival. You must have an appointment.

This small county park is well maintained. Bathrooms and shower houses are rough, but you have full hook ups and shady sites. Popular with snowbirds, the park is usually fully reserved January through March. The campground is adjacent to a railroad track servicing AMTRAK and a commuter train (TRI-RAIL), which runs once per hour in each direction until 10:00 pm. We’ve stayed here on several extended stays (2006-2016) before we moved to the area full time. Close to Fort Lauderdale and beaches.
