To Visit South Florida's palm trees and tropical climate lure the visitor. Spring and fall are least populated times to visit as most people are drawn to South Florida in winter, when the rest of North America is wading through the snow and cold. During the spring and fall, the bulk of tourists are gone, restaurants and accommodations are more accessible and less expensive, and the weather is still cool and dry.
Heavy rains come during late spring and summer and the weather turns hot and humid.
This is when native Floridians head for the Keys or go up north for the cooler summers found there. During the summer, in the remote regions, mosquitoes can carry you away if you are not prepared, making remote camping a challenge. Camping in urban parks is usually mosquito free in the summer as all counties maintain an active spray program. The Everglades and other remote areas with heavy undergrowth are prime breeding grounds and there is little to no control spraying, as would be expected for these wonderful natural areas. Come well-prepared with your mosquito repellent in the summer.
