Easterlin Park

Can an urban campground provide a forest-like escape? Easterlin Park Campground in Oakland Park, Florida, defies expectations with its dense canopy of old-growth cypress trees, creating a tranquil, natural haven just minutes from the urban buzz of Fort Lauderdale. This 46.6-acre park, designated as an Urban Wilderness Area, offers campers a rare blend of city accessibility and serene landscapes.

The campground features 45 full-hookup RV sites with essentials like water, sewer, and electrical connections (including 50-amp service), along with picnic tables, grills, and metal fire rings. Two clean bathhouses with showers and a sanitary dump station enhance convenience for extended stays. Guests can enjoy activities such as walking trails, a charming pond populated by ducks and swans, and an 18-hole disc golf course nestled among towering trees. While occasional sounds from nearby train tracks and roadways may remind you of its city setting, the lush foliage provides a sense of seclusion and privacy between campsites.

Located just off I-95 and 15 minutes from Fort Lauderdale Beach, the campground is a perfect base for day trips to the coast or nearby attractions. Its blend of conveniences, natural beauty, and proximity to urban amenities make Easterlin Park ideal for weekend getaways, stopovers, or longer vacations for RV enthusiasts seeking a serene retreat without venturing far from the city.
