Glamping near Miami

Vibrant Miami has a glamorous nightlife scene, but campers can ditch downtown for an outdoor glamping adventure instead. By day, head to Everglades National Park for an airboat tour, to Oleta River State Park for both river and bay kayaking, or down to Key Biscayne for boating and fishing. Once the sun goes down, spend the night at a glamping vacation rental—think a beachside cabana, a bell tents on a ranch, or even a surf shack or lifeguard tower. Choose a glamping site with air conditioning if visiting in summer; otherwise, steer clear of the hotter months when this area can get quite buggy. Winter is popular for glamping and for getting up close and personal with some of Florida’s most notable wildlife, such as colorful parakeets, shorebirds, and of course, the state’s famous alligators.
