Parking RV

Hello, we will be driving through Miami and staying 2 nights at South Beach. Any ideas on where to park a 5th wheel RV?

Parking a 5th wheel RV in South Beach, Miami can be challenging due to narrow streets, limited public parking, and strict city regulations. However, there are a few options for short-term stays while exploring the area.

Some practical options for RV parking include:

  • RV Parks and Campgrounds near Miami Beach:
    • Miami Everglades RV Resort: Located about 30 minutes from South Beach, this full-service RV park offers hookups, restrooms, and a safe place to park overnight.
    • Fountainebleau Miami Lakes RV Park: A bit further north but suitable for larger RVs with full facilities and easy access to highways leading to South Beach.
  • Marinas or Boat Club Parking:
    • Some marinas allow RVs to park overnight if you call ahead, especially those catering to both boats and RVs. This can be convenient if you plan to spend the day in South Beach and need secure parking.
  • Street Parking & Paid Lots:
    • South Beach streets generally have strict height, length, and overnight parking restrictions, so street parking is not usually viable for large RVs.
    • Some private parking lots may accommodate RVs for a fee, but reservations are strongly recommended in advance.

Tips for planning your stay:

  • Consider parking the RV at a nearby RV park and commuting into South Beach using a car, taxi, or rideshare service to avoid parking stress.
  • Reserve spots in advance, especially if traveling during high season or special events.
  • Check each facility’s maximum RV length and any requirements for hookups or fees.

Overall, while it is difficult to park a 5th wheel directly on South Beach streets, using nearby RV parks or private lots and commuting in is the most practical and stress-free solution.
