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.

Camping near Cape Canaveral guide
Cape Canaveral is blasting off. Not far from Orlando, Cape Canaveral houses the Kennedy Space Center and the Air Force Space & Missile Museum. If you prefer the ground to the galaxy, check out the wildlife areas around the peninsula. With the Banana River and Atlantic Ocean as neighbors, the city boasts ample beach campsites and recreation areas. No matter what you’re looking for, you’ll have your pick of beaches that range from relaxing sands to party shores. Settle into your seaside campground and get to know Florida’s Space Coast.
Where to Go
The Space Coast Beaches
Head south of Cape Canaveral for fun in the sun. Surfers flock to Cocoa Beach: home to the Florida Surf Museum. If you’d rather stroll than surf, take your pet for a walk along the Cocoa Beach pier. Or, continue south along the Atlantic Ocean. You’ll reach plenty of beaches and local parks, many of which allow RV and tent campers to spend the night.
Merritt Island
One of Florida’s largest islands, Merritt Island embraces campers who want to kayak, swim, relax, and spot wildlife. If you’re itching to see coastal Florida’s biodiversity, head to the Ulumay Wildlife Sanctuary. Look long enough, and you may spot pelicans and dolphins. If that’s not enough of a wildlife fix, head to the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. Walk along the sanctuary’s trails and boardwalks, and explore the Canaveral National Seashore.
The Indian River Lagoon
The Indian River Lagoon is actually an estuary that stretches for more than 150 miles. Meander along the lagoon—whether by road or by kayak—and keep your eyes peeled for herons and redfish. Book a campsite with a grill, and the day’s catch can become the night’s dinner. If you want to learn more about the lagoon, the Indian River Lagoon Preserve State Park is roughly an hour south of Cape Canaveral.
When to Go
Florida is the Sunshine State for a reason. With year-round sun, the state offers campers a generous window to experience the weather’s best. Summertime in Florida, however, can feel unbearably hot and is one of the riskier times to visit; Florida’s hurricane season extends from June to November. To play things safe or beat the winter blues, Cape Canaveral camping may be best between late fall and early spring.
