Camping & Lodging for Your Iguana Hunt
When planning your iguana hunt in Fort Lauderdale, you’ve got plenty of great lodging options nearby.
Recommended Areas to Stay:
Sunrise – Markham Park for Overland and RV Camping which is one of our meeting locations. – Markham Park has a nice onsite gun range.
Margate – Convenient and close to our hunting locations.
Hollywood – A lively spot with great restaurants and nightlife.
Dania Beach – Close to the airport and the water.
Deerfield Beach – Another excellent choice with great lodging and beaches.
We suggest avoiding Motel 6 in the area, as it tends to have a lot of activity throughout the night and doesn’t provide the best experience for our guests.
Hotels & Motels:
Fort Lauderdale has a wide variety of hotels and motels, from budget-friendly options to beachfront stays. You’ll find beautiful spots along the strip and right on the beach—perfect if you want to extend your adventure and enjoy a little vacation time while you’re here.
Airbnb Stays:
If you prefer an Airbnb, we recommend searching in Deerfield Beach, North Fort Lauderdale, or Margate. These areas have plenty of comfortable and safe options.
The great thing about an Airbnb is that they often include:
-
- A washer and dryer (less packing for you!)
- A full refrigerator and freezer, which is perfect if you’d like to freeze your catch to take back home.
- For many of our guests, Airbnb rentals are well worth the money for the convenience and comfort they provide.
🌴 Parker’s Tips for Lodging
- Best Budget Stay: Stick with Deerfield Beach or Margate for clean, affordable spots without the chaos.
- Best Family Stay: Hollywood has plenty of family-friendly hotels and restaurants close by.
- Best Close-to-the-Beach Stay: Fort Lauderdale Beach or Dania Beach give you that “vacation vibe” with ocean views.
- Best Airbnb Value: Deerfield Beach — spacious homes, washer/dryer, and that all-important freezer for your iguana catch.
