This is a beautiful park in the middle of suburbia. The pavilions are overbuilt and can be reserved, but it's pricey ($600). There are trails for hiking, bike paths, and plenty of open space for family fun games. The water park was closed for renovations but the slide looks super fun. The lake has a blue color to it and goes from a sandy shore, to a clear shallow, and then into the deep with a dark blue color. We didn't see any fish swimming so we didn't try fishing. We didn't have time to visit the other attractions like the zoo. My only complaint was getting out of the park. Most of the exits were closed and there weren't any signs to point you to the exit that was open. As a result we had to do a few u-turns.

Not a campground but a retirement/living place/trailer park. Basically Larry and Penny Thompson had the vision of turning state parks in to living residence, sarcastic right. They wanted to preserve park and nature, that was their vision. Also, don't believe everything on their website, tent reservations are close not due to renovation but due to winter reservations, they prioritize winter /long stay /snow bird reservations. This is what camping has become in florida, not for fun ,not for adventure. I will highly encourage state representatives to fix the future of camping and to use tax money in parks not living residence. Save state and county parks.

Loved this campground, great sites. Bathrooms and laundry really nice. I'm in a wheelchair and all roads paved including trails made it even better. County patrolled area made us feel safe even though it was a mostly quite place. We liked it so much went back and booked a month stay.

Not really happy with this location. We.have been camping for years, and never have we been to a camp ground that closed bath houses at night. No bathroom facilities available from 10 pm until 6 am, and the rangers are not friendly. Pool was supposed to be open Wednesday to Sunday 10 am until 5 pm. We were there on a Wednesday & Thursday and those days the pool was closed. Front office staff was GREAT. Very kind and friendly. Lots of long term folks. Good place to stop on the way to the keys, but I would probably just drive straight.

I love staying at this park. The flora and fauna are beautiful. I love all the oak trees. You could eat off of the bathroom floor it's so clean. The amenities are outstanding, a clubhouse with activities, bikes with bike paths to ride on, a lake (beach), and a nice pool. They also have nets for volleyball and other sports for kids. The pool isn't open very much due to a lack of available lifeguards.

You cannot swim in the lake, the waterslide is closed for the year and the tent camping is also closed for construction until maybe October or November. The RV park is large and semi-shaded but kinda tight. The park itself is large, beautiful and well kept and the pavilions are spaced apart well enough for privacy.

Beautiful, peaceful and quiet! I walked 3 miles without realizing it because I was just enjoying nature. There are so many different types of birds there and I saw the largest raccoons I've ever seen before!

We really enjoyed our stay. It's very quiet and everyone is very respectful. They have a pool,laundry,outdoor bathrooms, etc. They have surveillance day and night, which helps feel very secure. We definitely will book again.

My best friend and I went to this park for a 4 mile walk/run. I have a 1 year old son I have to push in a stroller and unfortunately some pieces of concrete were either cut purposely or it’s messed ups or some reason forcing me to push him through the rubble. Some areas had burned plants. The park was not bad for what we need which was simply a trail. But be mindful that perhaps an outdoor/running stroller will be better.

This is a big park with some of the original rock pinelands. We need to save these ecosystems. We need to get to know the native plants. The park has pavilions, a children's play area, beautiful lake and trails. It has a camping ground too. It's a quiet place surrounded by neighborhoods. The entrance is free.

Spent a week there while exploring the Miami area sites. The park is clean and well kept, no security issues. Prices are comparable with other rv parks.

This is the nicest RV park. Super clean. Level and paved spots. Modern electrical and blackwater dump at each site. Many on site laundry and bathroom facilities. Clean bathrooms with nice toilets and urinals. Very safe for kids and scooter riding and dog walking. Kids playing, neighbors visiting. Not over priced for what you get. Excellent value.

We needed a place to stay in the Miami area during the holidays and were thankful to have found and stayed at Larry and Penny Thompson Memorial Park and Camground. We couldn't reserve online, but the process was fairly simple via the phone and the staff were always friendly. They mentioned that you have to be the owner of the RV/Motorhome in order to stay, which I would guess is a safety requirement. We had to show our registration card, but other than that, it was simple. We stayed three nights for a very reasonable price. The park is huge and clean and they have the camp sites in big circular "pods". There wasn't a lot of a privacy between lots, but there was enough space between them. Residents can book for up to 6 months, so it does seem some people are there for longer terms while others are come and go. The facilities looked clean as well, and the location is great. We visited the Miami Zoo, which is the best Zoo I think I've been to with a lot of animals and large areas for them. The location also isn't bad if you want to visit the Everglades, downtown Miami or the beaches, or even head down to the keys. Excellent value and we would definitely recommend and stay again! Thanks everyone!

Our family of four had a fantastic one-night stay at Larry & Penny Thompson Campground on our way to the Keys. It’s a family-friendly haven with clean facilities, and the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. A perfect stop for travelers!

Great Place To Have A Family Event. The Atmosphere Is So Wonderful The Ladies in the Office made me feel welcomed Great Service. This my 2nd. Event @ the Park "2022" & "2023" Thank You
