CB Smith Park
Overview
C.B. Smith Park in Pembroke Pines offers a sprawling 299-acre landscape that balances outdoor recreation with convenient suburban access. Known for its lush greenery and lakeside views, the park provides a well-rounded experience for RVers looking for a managed, secure environment. It functions as a premier destination for travelers who want a mix of active recreation and relaxation within the South Florida region. The park is managed by Broward County, ensuring a high standard of maintenance and a family-friendly atmosphere that welcomes visitors year-round.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in the heart of Pembroke Pines, the park is perfectly positioned between the bustling cities of Fort Lauderdale and Miami. The immediate surroundings are suburban, providing easy access to major retail centers and dining, yet once inside the gates, the traffic noise fades into a backdrop of mature trees and calm waters. It serves as a green lung in a developed area, offering a sense of escape without sacrificing urban convenience. The proximity to Interstate 75 makes it an easy stop for those traveling through the Sunshine State.
Amenities & Park Features
The RV campground features 71 sites, all offering full hookups including water, sewer, and electricity. Many sites are situated along the water, providing pleasant views for evening relaxation. On-site facilities include modern bathhouses and laundry services to ensure a comfortable stay. For those seeking activity, the park is home to the Paradise Cove Water Park, which is a massive draw during the summer months with its slides and lazy river. Additionally, visitors can enjoy a golf center, batting cages, and tennis courts without leaving the property.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Beyond the park boundaries, visitors are a short drive from the premier shopping at Sawgrass Mills Mall and the high-energy sporting events at Hard Rock Stadium. Nature enthusiasts can easily reach the eastern edge of the Everglades for airboat tours and wildlife viewing. Additionally, the pristine beaches of the Atlantic coast are approximately 15 miles away, making it easy to transition from a lakeside campsite to a day on the sand. For culture seekers, the vibrant nightlife and art galleries of Miami are within reach.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an ideal fit for family travelers who need plenty of activities to keep children entertained, thanks to the extensive playgrounds and seasonal water park. It also serves as an excellent base for active retirees and snowbirds who appreciate the security of a county-run facility and the proximity to South Florida’s major metropolitan hubs. It is best for those who prefer a structured, amenity-rich environment over a secluded wilderness experience, offering the perfect blend of outdoor living and city accessibility.

This is a phenomenal location to gather with your family and friends. You can come for a simple picnic or celebrate a special occasion such as a birthday or baby shower. Plenty of picnic tables and bbq grills. Come early to reserve a spot.

We went to play mini golf. I wish I had brought a leaf blower to clear the leaves from the course. Staff was friendly. Facilities, including bathrooms, were clean. Prices were good. We'll be back.

This interaction with this female security guard at CB Smith park is very time. She encounters me or sees my truck. She's my RV and she's always on attack. You and she's always following me. She's always asking me what I'm doing here. There's no reason for you to question me. When is open park? When it's apart for the public, then she wants to tell me that nobody can come in at this time. After she follows me when there's people around here. Exercising and running around doing the same thing. I would do when I come to the park. And now she's. Saying that she's reporting to me because I guess I asked her what's her problem with me. What's her personal issue? Because I don't know her so she took that person on and she says she's gonna report me now. Go ahead and report me, I'm not doing nothing wrong. I'm not breaking no policies. I'm not breaking the law. I'm doing what I supposed to do. Coming to a park just like anybody else. You try to talk several lies with her. She speaks over you, she don't let you talk. She wants to try to have full control. Of the conversation or whatever it is that she's trying to demand for you to do. It's ridiculous. I don't even know how she even lasted long. At this point with this job being a security officer. She's not even fit to be a security officer that could be a security officer. Extreme extremely disrespectful towards me. I don't know how she is towards anybody else. But what makes she's extremely disrespectful for no reason because I don't know her, just like I told her to her face, but I guess it's just cause she don't like the way to be the only reason because I haven't done nothing to anybody here. I'm very respectful to everybody. And anybody that knows me can tell you that

Hello everyone, We recently rented one of the cabins at CB Smith Park, and overall, the experience was very enjoyable. We reserved Cabin #11, which is quite spacious and includes a barbecue grill for those who wish to cook outdoors. The park entrance fee on weekends is $3.00 per person, payable by cash or credit. I did not handle the cabin rental payment myself, so I am not certain of the exact cost. Once I confirm, I will update this review with the price. Cabin rentals are available from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Please note that DJs are not permitted; however, live entertainers (like the one we hired) are allowed. Alcohol is permitted but must be kept in concealed containers. The park offers a variety of activities, which you can view in detail on their official website. It is also pet-friendly, though dogs must remain leashed at all times. For those visiting during the Florida summer, be prepared for the heat. Light, comfortable clothing such as summer dresses, shorts, hats, or athletic wear is highly recommended, especially if you plan to participate in sports or outdoor activities. I found the park to be clean, well-maintained, and organized, making it a strong option for future gatherings. Do be mindful of local wildlife, including iguanas and snakes. Thank you~Martika

Please be aware when visiting this park that if you are assaulted no one will do anything. The person who assaulted you will be able to stay and eventually do it again. I called the local police department and was told because it’s private property no one can make the assaulter leave. The life guards are basically teenagers who speak to the kids with profanity. Please be aware and cautious because no one will take your accusations serious even with witnesses.
