Markham Park, Sunrise/Weston, Florida is a nice size
county park, and the people in the office were very helpful and friendly.
However, it is not just a campground, so when the park holds a special
event, everyone entering the park, including RVers, wait in line to get
into the park for an hour or more because so many locals participate in
these special events. During those times, the two RV Gypsies do not leave
the park unless they leave early morning and return late evening.
Also since it is not JUST a campground, there are no
activity buildings. The pool is open to the public but only open certain
times of the year, and it costs on a daily basis to everyone, including
RVers who are paying to camp or park at Markham Park. The two RV Gypsies
never used the pool there, nor the nice dog park or target range (which
can be heard in most motorhomes). But they have watched people enjoying
the model airplane flying field, and they have walked on the berm several
times. |
