Greetings Hipcampers! Thank you for considering your camping adventures at my listing, I look forward to welcoming you! Here’s some information about the general area. If you don’t need it, just skip down to the “About us” section. Our property is located in the Sailfish capital of the country in the heart of Historic Port Salerno/Stuart Florida. World class deep sea fishing, boating, and some of the finest seafood restaurants on the east coast are less a mile away. We’re just 5 miles from downtown Stuart on the Inland waterway that offers a lovely walkable downtown where you will find a theater, unique art studios, interesting and unique craft and clothing shops, and numerous restaurants offering everything from vegan and vegetarian options, to pizza, steak, and local seafood. If you’re looking for fast food franchises in the downtown areas, you’ll need to look elsewhere! Only 11 miles from Jonathan Dickinson State Park. Daily excursions are available from the launch site to the infamousTrapper Nelson’s hideaway. A must do for adventurous types who appreciate legends and creative off grid living. ABOUT US: This Camp Site is on a 1/2 acre, owner occupied property and located in a beautiful, open, quiet neighborhood setting. It offers a natural walking path with several foot bridges around the lake. Our property has very easy accessibility to all major roads including interstate 95. Our camp sites provide a peaceful stay while still being close to all you seek. This location makes for a great stop over or destination spot. Guests will wake in the morning to the lovely site and peaceful sounds of the mostly year round residents including pileated and red-bellied woodpeckers, vultures, raccoons, egrets, ibis, hawks, quaker parrots, herons, bluejays, grackles, crows, lizards, mourning doves, gray squirrels, owls, hawks, and occasional sightings of iguanas and turtles. Nights tend to be dark and quiet with minimal traffic noise. We are pet friendly provided your pet is too! Again, this is in a quiet, neighborhood type setting, just a bit off the beaten path. Please inquire about Kayak and tent rental. I will happily answer any questions you may have upon arriving and then respect your privacy and solitude. I look forward to welcoming you here!

Greetings HipCampers! Thank you for considering your tent camping adventures on this site, I look forward to welcoming you! This Campsite is basically a tent camp site. There is adequate space for a small tent and vehicle. Backing in may be necessary depending on your camping style and needs. Our property is just a bit off the beaten path but definitely Not secluded or remote. Host resides on this 1/2 acre lot, not far from the Camp Site. The surface of the tent site is flat with a mix of grassy turf and the ubiquitous sandy type Florida soil, usually with some covering of native pine needles. This is an owner occupied property on a 1/2 acre lot. It is naturally-forested with several towering eastern slash pines, a few palm trees, and several fruit trees and other vegetation. Again, this site borders a county lake that boasts a beautiful natural walking path. It is not remote or secluded and is located in a neighborhood type setting, and, as with most campsites, does not provide complete privacy. The compost type toilet is located within its own small tent structure near the campsite. Please be sure you understand that this is definitely not a flush toilet! I don't want you to be disappointed! You will be asked to add gel powder to liquids and cover solid deposits with the sawdust or mulch material provided. Easy peasy! A shared outdoor hot shower (with minimal overhead covering from rain or windy conditions) is available for use, if desired. Host also uses this shower daily. Due to drainage and water use, please keep showers on the shorter side, and try use the “on/off” method to conserve water. Please use your own shower supplies. Electricity for charging small mobile devices may be offered. It does not provide electrical hookups for full time or continuous use. City/potable water for use from a hose located near the campsite is available during your stay. We do not currently have an outdoor kitchen, so please plan accordingly. If you have a unique situation or requests, please inquire. I’ll try my best to accommodate your needs. Please inquire with any questions or concerns you may have. I'm here to help and appreciate your inquiry. Happy Hip-Campers is my goal! Your host, Gia

Gia's campsite is a tranquil spot with a serene lakeside view, praised for its friendly and accommodating hosts. Campers enjoyed the outdoor shower and the presence of wildlife, making it a peaceful retreat despite its suburban location. While most guests appreciated the setup, some noted the rustic nature of the toilet as a downside. Overall, the site offers a blend of nature and convenience, with easy access to nearby attractions.

Tent camping here was beautiful. The trees are beautiful pines which the owner took the care to save when the property was being built. The trees are very thankful for this energy and in kind or protecting the land. As a woman sleeping alone, I felt completely safe in my tent and this beautiful yard looking at the water. The hosts are so kind hearted. This is really a good place For spending time with nature while still in a city’s drive

Gia’s hipcamp was amazing! The tent spot was in the back of the property closer to the lake. It was level, quiet and having access to a potty and a shower were A+ additions. Gia was also very accommodating at taking me in late when I buggered up on my previous hipcamp booking. If I lived closer, I would definitely visit more often. I also have 2 more new friends (oh and little Rinpoche) !! Thanks Gia and Elleen for your exceptional hospitality.

The hosts make this good camping spot great. Accommodating and friendly hosts make camping in the yard a pleasant stay. The parrots and other morning birds greet you and a quiet walk around the small lake make this a good place to camp. A 20 min drive to hobe sound national seashore. Only drawback is the rail system is fairly busy but not so at night and distant enough to sleep through.

Gia was a fabulous host! We were able to park in a mostly shaded area. Her yard was full of sustainable trees with a beautiful view of the small lake, which you could walk around. The breeze was wonderful. She had many suggestions as to where we should go within a bike ride distance. The dead end road made for a quiet night. We loved the peaceful, easy feeling we got staying there. Namaste, Gia and Eleen. We will be back!!

We had an amazing visit! Our hosts were very attentive to our every need. We arrived to 75 degree weather but by the next day a cold front had come in. Needless to say it was cold and rainy for 3 more days. Gia accommodated us and we stayed an extra night. She even gave us a space heater because we were staying in a tent. We had a wonderful bonfire and enjoyed meeting some of the local neighbors as well as the other hipcampers who joined in around the fire. Our hosts provided us some plant cuttings to take home and we looking forward to propigating them. We are planning, and hope to go back next year. Thanks Gia and Elaine for your kind hospitality.

Gia is the greatest hipcamp host I've had and kept me updated with the goings on at the property and making sure I had all I needed to be comfortable. The trail around the reservoir is lovely and what a pleasure to have such direct access. The hot water shower was just perfect and always clean & tidy. I will definitely stay here again and can't wait for another visit! A++

This was my first booking with Gia. When our truck had a major breakdown, my first thought was "thank goodness we are somewhere safe". Gia and her partner Elleen are wonderful people and you feel welcomed into their lives. They are in a transitional neighborhood that I loved. They have several ponds in the area that are wonderful to walk around and the marina area is walkable with lots of fun places to visit. Definitely a must stay location.

Gia and her partner are wonderful people. They are hospitable, kind and truly welcoming. Their Hipcamp is in a cool transitional neighborhood in Stuart/Port Salermo with lots of trees and water in the vicinity. We enjoyed our strolls around the pond in their back yard. Locally, you can walk to great restaurants on the waterfront. We enjoyed some live music and food trucks while we were there. While staying at their Hipcamp, our truck broke down. I remember thinking over and over, thank goodness it happened whike we were at a safe space. I will always remember their kindness and generosity at this difficult time in our lives.

We were able to do some fishing there and in other nearby lakes. It seems like the whole city is like a fishing town so it was the perfect place for us to stay. I can’t wait to go back!

I really enjoyed our stay on Gia’s land. She was so welcoming and had thought of everything. She even built us a fire in the fire pit to enjoy with other campers. You should know that the toilet is rustic, (you’re essentially sitting on a bucket) and if you’re comfortable with that, then great! It was gorgeous waking up with the sunlight streaming through the trees and sparkling on the lake.

Gia's place is in a delightful neighborhood with greenspace that offers a lake walk and plenty of birds, turtles, etc. It's a lovely spot to enjoy the sunrise and sunse,t yet you're just a half-mile walk to the waterfront of art galleries, restaurants, etc. With easy access to A1A, you're also about midway between Stuart and Hobe Sound, so take your pick and head to the beach, wildlife preserves, walking, biking, fishing, and boating options. Best of all, you get to meet interesting, wonderful people who know how to hosts travelers. This was my first Hipcamp experience and now I'm spoiled!

This review is solely to praise Gia, the host. She kindly took my last minute request to stay when my original campsite was damaged by hurricane related tornadoes. Though I requested four nights, she could only accommodate the first two as she was going out of town. But after I arrived and following almost an hour of warm conversation with her and her partner, she very graciously allowed me to stay two more nights in her absence. Such trust, generosity, and kindness is not commonplaces (except, perhaps on this site…). She totally saved me from a challenging uproot and made space for me to truly relax and reset. The best. Oh, and the outdoor shower…!

I loved tent camping at Gia's. I am from Miami, like any big city there is to much cement, concrete and asphalt. Visiting Gia's property was like finding an oasis, with a beautiful lake and a site covered by trees that protect you from the sun. The tent spot has its own restroom, shower. Gia is very nice and always willing to make your stay as pleasant as possible.

I really enjoyed our stay on Gia’s land. She was so welcoming and had thought of everything. She even built us a fire in the fire pit to enjoy with other campers. You should know that the toilet is rustic, (you’re essentially sitting on a bucket) and if you’re comfortable with that, then great! It was gorgeous waking up with the sunlight streaming through the trees and sparkling on the lake.

Gia made me feel very welcomed and even provided me some gear I forgot to pack. They offered their hospitality freely at the same time providing me as much solitude as I wanted. There is a lovely lake with walking path all around which I appreciated and kayaking close by.

Gia's place is in a delightful neighborhood with greenspace that offers a lake walk and plenty of birds, turtles, etc. It's a lovely spot to enjoy the sunrise and sunse,t yet you're just a half-mile walk to the waterfront of art galleries, restaurants, etc. With easy access to A1A, you're also about midway between Stuart and Hobe Sound, so take your pick and head to the beach, wildlife preserves, walking, biking, fishing, and boating options. Best of all, you get to meet interesting, wonderful people who know how to hosts travelers. This was my first Hipcamp experience and now I'm spoiled!

This review is solely to praise Gia, the host. She kindly took my last minute request to stay when my original campsite was damaged by hurricane related tornadoes. Though I requested four nights, she could only accommodate the first two as she was going out of town. But after I arrived and following almost an hour of warm conversation with her and her partner, she very graciously allowed me to stay two more nights in her absence. Such trust, generosity, and kindness is not commonplaces (except, perhaps on this site…). She totally saved me from a challenging uproot and made space for me to truly relax and reset. The best. Oh, and the outdoor shower…!

Great host! Lovely little spot with water view, tucked in a little neighborhood, minutes away from all the civilization one might need. Outdoor shower a major bonus - great for washing away the ocean after a day at the beach. Gia is fantastic - grest, prompt communication. Recommended!

I loved tent camping at Gia's. I am from Miami, like any big city there is to much cement, concrete and asphalt. Visiting Gia's property was like finding an oasis, with a beautiful lake and a site covered by trees that protect you from the sun. The tent spot has its own restroom, shower. Gia is very nice and always willing to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
