Go if

Boaters who want an overnight anchorage close to Miami, with showers, concessions, and eight fishing platforms on-site. At $20/night per boat plus a $10 parking permit, it's hard to beat for the location.

Skip if

Tent and RV campers have no sites here at all. Weekend visitors who arrive late risk finding the park at capacity and turned away at the gate, and the fishing piers may be closed for repairs when you show up.
