Taste of Old Florida

12 sites ¡ RVs, Tents10 acres ¡ Palm City, FL
A small but unique piece of land that was given to a family in the 1920s by the Florida Railroad Company. It stayed in the family until we purchased it. It is unique because the surrounding area does not have much tree coverage. This is due to the ground underneath, which is a vein of grey marl. This is why the area is called the Allapattah (an Indian word for Alligator) Flats. We are hoping that our county stays the way it is so people will know what Old Florida really looks like. Minutes from I-95, but surrounded by the Allapattah Flats Wildlife Management Preserve. Located on Martin Hwy, which was recently designated as a Florida Scenic Hwy. Fifteen minutes to Stuart and thirty minutes to West Palm Beach, a world away from the hustle and bustle. We realize that people also love Florida for Disney and tropical paradises but if that is what you want than this may not be your kind of place.

South Florida Permaculture Farm

3 sites ¡ Tents5 acres ¡ West Palm Beach, FL
Embracing Nature's Classroom: A Journey into the Heart of Agroforestry In the heart of our bustling city lies a hidden gem—a five-acre agroforestry site seamlessly integrated with a wildlife refuge, offering a sanctuary for both humans and nature. This unique haven challenges traditional farming norms, embracing permaculture principles and providing a holistic education on sustainable living. The Agroforestry Oasis: This agroforestry site thrives as a harmonious blend of natural elements. The farm, rich with diverse flora, serves as a testament to the possibility of cultivating food in harmony with nature. With a natural pond reflecting the sky and a cypress forest providing shade, the site is a living example of how agricultural practices can coexist with the environment. Wildlife Refuge: Surrounded by a city environment, the wildlife refuge within the agroforestry site stands as a testament to the resilience of nature amidst urbanization. Birds, insects, and small mammals find solace in this haven, creating a unique urban wildlife ecosystem. The refuge highlights the importance of preserving green spaces within cities for biodiversity and ecological balance. Permaculture Education: Classes on permaculture gardening and natural cooking form the core of the educational experience offered on the site. Participants learn not just about cultivation but also about the interconnectedness of ecosystems. These classes empower individuals to apply permaculture principles in their own lives, fostering a sense of responsibility towards the environment. Campfire Gatherings: At the heart of the agroforestry site lies a community space, where campfires flicker at individual camping sites and merge into a grand communal fire. This space fosters a sense of community, encouraging shared experiences and conversations under the open sky. It exemplifies the essence of coming together to appreciate and learn from nature. Nature's Unfiltered Beauty: Unlike manicured gardens, this facility proudly stands in its natural state. The untamed beauty of the landscape contributes to the existence of a diverse array of wildlife. Visitors are invited to witness nature as it is, fostering a deep appreciation for the raw, unfiltered beauty that often goes unnoticed in our modern, structured world. Invitation to Experience: This isn't just a description; it's an invitation. Come, explore, and experience the magic of this agroforestry site for yourself. Feel the connection between nature and sustainable living, learn about permaculture, and revel in the simplicity of a campfire under the stars. Witness the beauty that emerges when humans and nature coexist harmoniously. In this city oasis, the agroforestry site isn't just a piece of land; it's a living, breathing classroom where the lessons are taught by the wind in the trees, the rustling of leaves, and the vibrant life that thrives in every corner. It's time to appreciate nature and learn about how it works, not just as observers but as active participants in the dance of life. Are you ready to embark on this journey into the heart of agroforestry? Come see for yourself. Nature is waiting to share its secrets with you.

The best camping near Jonathan Dickinson State Park guide

Overview

About

Nature lovers and history buffs, unite! No less than 13 natural habitats converge on 11,500 acres of preserved coastal lands. This park offers several ways to explore the area. You'll find boat tours, hiking trails, horse-pulled wagons, bikes, canoes, and kayaks.

Bring your own gear or rent a boat from a local outfitter. There is a guided, interpretive tour on the Loxahatchee Queen II. Along the way, you might see deer, herons, cranes, and even alligators. Habitats range from coastal sand dunes and sand pine scrub to cypress forests and mangrove swamps.

History buffs can see Trapper Nelson's homestead from the 1920s. The U.S. military runs the Jonathan Dickinson Missile Tracking Annex on the southern edge of the park. This tracking station was built in the 1960s during the Cold War. It still runs today. This wild and scenic river area truly has a bit of everything.

Campgrounds feature group sites, primitive areas, and hookups for RVs.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Jonathan Dickinson State Park is during the cooler months from November to April, when the Florida heat is at bay and the wildlife is most active. Summer months can be hot and humid, with a higher chance of rain and storms, possibly affecting some park activities.

Know before you go

  • Check the weather forecast and prepare for Florida's varying conditions, especially during hurricane season.
  • Ensure you're aware of the park's opening hours, typically from 8:30am to 5pm, to plan your visit accordingly.
  • Accessibility is a priority, with facilities designed to accommodate all visitors.
  • Stay informed about any park closures or area restrictions that may be in effect during your visit.
  • Remember to pack essentials like water, sunscreen, and insect repellent to enhance your park experience.
