For Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park Campground: We spent 21 nights (14 nights and then several weeks later 7 nights) with W/S/E-50 Amp in a 38 Ft. Class A Motorhome. Access to the park was easy and the staff was friendly and courteous during check-in. Our site was one of 20 located in a circular pod with a narrow asphalt pad. The pad wasn’t long enough to comfortably accommodate both the motorhome and car, so we parked the car on the grass next to the coach. There was good tree coverage providing some shade throughout the hot days. We were able to use our DISH Tailgater and also received numerous TV channels via antenna. The free Wi-Fi was good and we had no problem getting AT&T phone signal. You’ll have to drive approx. 30 miles to get to downtown Miami, 25 miles to the Everglades National Park main gate in Homestead, 16 miles to the Biscayne National Park Visitors Center, but the park is adjacent to the Miami Zoo. A few of our complaints would be 1) Grass gets high between mowings 2) While mowing grass, groundskeepers littered base of the coach with grass clippings prompting me to wipe/wash it off. 3) The swimming pool looked inviting but wasn’t open during the week in 90+ degree weather. 4) The laundry rooms were dirty prompting us to wipe the machines down before using them. Overall though, the park itself is comfortable and we would stay here again.

For Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park Campground: Ended up camping in this county park for 7 days and love every minutes of it. A mile outside the campground has all the convenient of a Coral Springs city has to offered. Nested in the middle of grooves of mango, avocado, and nut trees, our site 12 in pod 5 has good shade throughout the day. Pod bathroom with shower and toilet stalls were clean and functional, as well as coin-op laundry. All sites are back-ins due to radial loop design. All sites and roads are asphalted and wide enough for easy maneuvering. Plenty of space for dog walking and a big lake within a long hike/drive/ride away. WiFi was strong enough and LTE signal was great. Full hook-up connections were logically layout. Be careful of parking at picnic/lake side due to apparent break-ins; shattered vehicle glasses are everywhere. Park manager and/or policy are not flexible if you reserved for 3 days and want to extend to 7 days, they will not give you weekly rate, rather price is each day multiplied by 7. At $33/day it’s not the cheapest, but the weekly rate will bring it down to $27/day, monthly rate will bring it down to $19/day.

For Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park Campground: Quiet spot. Nice mature trees providing shade along with Mango and Avocado trees scattered throughout. Pool, walking path nearby, large bathhouses with laundry including clothes lines if desired, beach a bike or short car ride away. The sites require you to back in, very easy. Sites are are large. Picnic table at each site. No onsite grills. Office staff friendly and helpful. Nighttime patrolled security. You can check in after hours and pay in the morning if you arrive after office closed. You would never know you are in busy Miami. Very safe and peaceful.

For Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park Campground: Great place to stay, not for long term as you can only stay 6 mo then leave 6 mo. County owned and maintained. Awesome bike/jogging trails, fishing lake, best facilities. Propane delivery. Huge lots. One of the best anywhere.
