C B SMITH PARK in Pembroke Pines, Florida

We were lucky enough to get reservations at C.B. Smith Park campground for Spring Break and lucky is a great to start with this review! We are about 1 driving hour from our hometime of Miami, Florida, and this is such a great spot to camp. There are 71 RV sites all surrounded by lakes, and about 10 - 12 tent sites.

First I'll start off with the amenities, as there are so many to list. This is a huge - big parkj, and on the side of the park is the RV area. With that being said, they have a fantastic family water park here that has an area for toddlers, and another area for the older kids and adults. There is a lazy river you can float around in tubes, and they also have two humongus mountain slides as well. It is $9.50 per person for the day, and if it rains and they need to close, just hold onto your receipt and you can get back in later when the weather clears and they re-open if that is the case. A family can easily spend all day there, and they have food and drinks on site that are very reasonable (hot dog $2.50, lemonade slush $3.00, pizza, sodas, pretzels, etc. They also have $1.00 lockers. We spent two afternoons there of hte 4 days we were here due to weather, and just having lots of sun.

One can also rent paddle boats here, there is golf and mini golf, tennis courts, two playgrounds, several pavallions and many places to fish all over, including fishing piers. There are also jogging paths, and dogs are welcome. Many restroom buildings through out, and this is outside of the RV park area.

Inside the RV park area, the RV spots are really spacious, and enough for an RV, a dolly, and at least 2 vehicles. A nice area to spread out. They have paved concrete with picnic tables at each TV site, a grill and picnic table. There is also light posts and a few bath houses. The bath houses are clean, and each seems to have a few toilet stalls, 3 shower stalls, and 1 sink. Yep, a little skimpy on the bath housees, but they are clean and in working order.

We've been fishing, at the playground, the water park, and met some really great people here! I need ot mention them by name, as we hope to camp in the future with Tim, Samantha, Alex and Brianna again real soon! We just really enjoyed their company and many laughs the one night they were here. We also have family close to the area, and invited them over for dinner one night too.

The three of us agree that this is one campground we will be coming back to again real soon because there is so much to offer to Campers.
