We have a 45 ft toy hauler 5th wheel. Is the campground at Larry & Penny Thompson Park big rig friendly? Thanks!

“Dump Station $16.05 No Potable Water”
Reviewed 3/13/2024

Overall Rating
Dump station only fee is $16.05 but no potable water. Locked so you have to get the key from the office after you pay.

We stayed here for about 2 months while exploring southern Florida. The spots were easy to pull into and we had plenty of room between us and our neighbors. The bathrooms, laundry and pool were all exceptionally clean and updated. The walk to the little park was beautiful, too bad we couldn’t bring the dogs. The campground is spacious enough our dogs got nice walks though. It was a great place to be to explore the Everglades, Biscayne, the Keys and the rest of Miami. We will be back!
We had 4+ bars on AT&T and Verizon, but this does seem to be dependent on where you are in the park. Starlink worked great as well in pod 7.

We arrived late, the office was closed but the Park guard allowed us to enter the park, we did the check in the morning after arrival. The only bad comment is about a neighbour who had a dog inside barking all night, but that's just our luck I guess.
Washrooms clean - closed after 10pm

We had plans to stay elsewhere, but after staying here a night, we decided to return here instead of going to Flamingo, which was more expensive and offered no hookups. Site was shaded but still had open sky for Starlink. Pad was large enough for dually and our Civic. We’d love to come back!

Very nice park located between Miami, Keys, and everglades for vacationers. Thought the price was great as well as the service. Very clean and like most of Florida, very flat. Like the layout. The bathrooms, showers, and laundry areas were nicely clean. Only setback was the internet only being accessible next to office or in rec room nearby. Had to use my cell phone with hotspot to report this. Currently half the campground is under improvements, which I'm sure will match what I lived. In fact, I just improved to 5 stars since I think this was of great value. I was probably only able to get a site due to those "snowbirds" leaving in mid April. Normally 3 5G Verizon bars.

We stayed here to visit Biscayne national park. We were pleasantly surprised by how nice the campground is in the middle of large urban area. Spaces has asphalt pads and concrete area for picnic tables. Even though close together there are trees all around. Bathrooms are renovated with beautiful tile. Laundry facilities all spaces throughout. Loved having nearby walking/biking paths through the rest of the park. Appreciated the pool and Rec area. There are even bikes that are available to bike around the campground for use. The only draw back is limited hours for restrooms (close at 6 pm). But we would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed this park a great deal. Having a full hook-up such a short distance from Miami for less than $30/night really makes the place stand out. I like set-up for RV camping--several loops with easy back-in--and had convenient services for each loop. It also has a swimming pool just for the campground, monitored by lifeguards, something I haven't seen for a long time. The pool did close on Mondays and Tuesdays during our stay, but I don't know if that always happens. Many seasonal campers around us, but also had some shorter term travelers. We had to get on a wait list to get a spot, but that happens a lot in Florida in winter.
The campground sits adjacent to the rest of the park which has very nice bike/hike trails and many picnic shelters. It has a "beach", though I'd hesitate to call it that. More of a stretch of sand along a small lake. It also has a waterpark, though that looks shut down for Covid or seasonal or something. Also very close to Zoo Miami and a short drive from Biscayne Bay National Park--both wonderful places!

The worst customer service I have ever received/ experienced. I called ahead of time to see if there was any availability, which they said there was plenty for the amount of days I wanted. Once we got there the two girls in the front office very rudely told me I needed a mask. I don’t wear masks because of a medical condition and I told them I didn’t have one but I was quickly willing to wear one if they had it. They said no they didn’t have any. Well they refused me any service. My Husband then goes in and again very rudely was told he needed a mask. When he kept asking them questions about the campsite they bring out a big black guy to try and kick him out. My husband said they couldn’t do that and the guy agreed and said “you’re right no we can’t but we are refusing service.” So my husband stays in there a little while longer asking them questions and they said they were going to call the cops!! Geez, so my husband said ok that’s fine call the cops. They may or may not have called because they were hesitantly telling someone on the phone that someone refuses to leave. We’re very easy going. This behavior was totally uncalled for. They had plexi glass up, they were wearing masks (if that was their actual concern), the state does not have a mask mandate and this is how they treat people coming into their state and their place of business. No thank you!!
