Larry and Penny Thompson Park

Very surprising park. The cost was extremely low, so we were worried about the quality of the amenities, the sites and the safety of the location. We found all of to be very good. The park is south of Miami in the Homestead area. We picked it to be close to the two National Parks in the area, Everglades and Biscayne Bay as well as the key spots in Miami. The park is right off the turnpike, so getting around is very convenient. The park is organized into circular pods. Each pod has ~15 sites with 10 around the outside and 5 on the inside of the road. The sites are asphalt with grass all around the sites and a lot of mature trees. We asked for a satellite friendly site that gave clear views to the S and had no problems with the trees. Parking of your toad was a bit tight as you had to park next to your site between your rig and the water/power poles for the adjacent site. Our Jeep fit with a foot or less to spare on each side. The park had several bathrooms, showers and laundry rooms that were all reasonable. The wifi worked most of the time and was fine to look at email. For the low $32/night cost, nice park settings, convenient location and helpful office staff, we rate the park a 4 out of 5 and would recommend it to anyone staying in the area. If we come back to Miami, this will be our park.
