The best time to go camping near Fort Lauderdale is during the winter months, between December and April. It’s still quite warm, since this is Florida, after all. Daytime highs hover in the 70s with overnight lows in the 60s. Rain is minimal, and wildlife viewing is better during winter, too. Summer camping isn’t recommended, not only because of the unbearably hot temperatures, but because summer is the wettest, muggiest, and stormiest time with the added threat of hurricanes.
