Yacht Haven Park & Marina

This campground works nicely if you are not looking to "camp" rather are using your rv for accommodations after you spend the day at the beach. Hollywood beach was minutes away and easy to get to. The campground is very urban and packed with permanent trailers and giant yachts. We stayed here to get one of our party on a plane at FLL early in the morning which was super easy.

Yacht haven has a few nightly spots, but most people here are extended-stay residents (I was here during a consulting project.), fulltimers, and seasonal residents. From January through April every site is doubled up and may not be your idea of a good time. From April through November, the park is relatively quiet and there’s lots of breathing room. That said, there’s not many trees to accommodate high season.

In general, the place is kept clean if not well maintained. Over the year I was there, the laundry was functional, clean, and social. The staff are congenial and attentive, especially to those folks who stay for longer stays. The location is super convenient to the airport and seaport as well as downtown Ft. Lauderdale. Miami and the beaches are close as well. As such, Yacht Haven is not the place to set up the hammock although the I never noticed the expressway/airplane noise as reported in another review.

Yacht Haven is a clean, albeit a bit run down, conveniently located park from which you can enjoy a big city stay.

It’s a combination campground and marina. Site was unpacked and very tight with other sites. A lot of snowbirds and full time residents. Laundry facility was terrible. Out of 8 machines ont 2 worked, same with the dryers. You can do a lot better by driving a few miles away. A lot of highway (I95 next to it) and airport (FLL International) noise.

Spots are quite tight here, but your view is an ever changing scenery of boats and yachts docked in the marina if you get a waterfront site. Staying here offers a true Fort Lauderdale experience with yachts all around, and also it's central location to Las Olas Blvd, the beachfront promenade, and all that For Lauderdale has to offer including it's convenience to major airports, Everglades National Park, Alligator Alley, and the city of Miami (35 minute drive without traffic). Long story short, the tight spots are not a bother when you've got that much around to keep you occupied!

We did not use any amenities such as laundry, pool or otherwise.

There is noise from the airport, but it wasn't a bother and I felt it added to the experience.

When visiting Fort Lauderdale and/or Miami, we would stay here again.
