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.

5 Raised Tent Platform
Wonderful campground!
This was such a great tent site for those looking for an escape to nature, but not too remote and all conveniences nearby. There was also a great hiking trail with free roaming cows just a mile and a half down the road. The miniature horses onsite were adorable, as well. The area was roomy and all amenities were well thought out and taken care of. It was a great stay and I would highly recommend this charming campground.

Site 5 up to 30 ft
Christine and Cal were the consummate hosts, engaging and helpful. Had a nice camping spot next to a tree line with a pond in the middle of the camping area. Caught a nice bass in the pond. What more could a guy ask for! Nice, hot shower in a covered area attached to the barn. If we are in the area again, we will surely be back!

I spent 3 nights at Taste of Florida because it was relaxing and a beautiful setting. I will choose Taste of Florida the next time I travel to southern Florida. Thank you!

Site 3 - up to 25 feet
The good: I was able to get a campsite on short notice at a nice place. Less good: No shade, so best to only be there when the sun is low or down. Also it’s right by a busy highway, noise level onsite about 50-55 dBA in daytime, but quieter at night. Would I stay again? Yes.

Highly recommend Site 7
My second night at A Taste of Old Florida. I love the peace and quiet! No light pollution lets you see a big sky full of stars ⭐️ Heading to the warm shower. This is the perfect HipCamp. Highly recommend. Christine is lovely and very welcoming. 5 stars.
