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.

Molly Farm RV Camp is a private, beautiful, dog friendly little get away. The host John and his sweet dog Molly are most welcoming and John always responded if needed. The Water & Electrical hook ups were easy accessible and a dump station not far down the road for a small fee. Beautifully adorned with lights at night & fire pit. The natural landscaping well kept, a little piece of paradise. We recommend and look forward to returning.

I was warmly welcomed at George’s campground! I was not sure at first how I would fare with the campsite being tucked away from the car and the outhouse but it seems the body adapts quite quickly when you get clean air and peaceful quiet time at night. It is a touch of wild forest in the middle of a suburban desert. George has been taking a step by step process to bridge people back to nature. You are experiencing a snapshot of a vision in flux! He is highly communicative whatever your needs and a pleasure to meet! I would gladly return. It is great to be close to town with great food options as well.

My girlfriend and I just finished a two-night stay at this wonderful location. The property is 5 acres and only hosts a few guests at a time so the campsites felt remote. The host is extremely passionate about permaculture and love to share knowledge - just ask! As it is a native environment you should expect mosquitoes, critters, and everything that comes along with it - including butterflies, dragonflies, and all of natures beauty.
The campsite were tricky to find and I recommend coordinating that in advance, as once the sun goes down, it's DARK.
Overall, a great getaway and I would stay here again. It's a short drive to Blue Heron Bridge and other West Palm locations.
Thanks Mr. G! See ya next time.

This was my first time using this app, so I didn’t know what to expect… and let me say that it far exceeded my expectations! Vito the owner couldn’t be more friendly and accommodating! I had an issue that was a million percent my fault… I cut the corner too tight coming in and got stuck in the ditch. If this happens to you, just call Priority Towing and they’ll come get you out the way you went in!!! Vito was so helpful throughout that whole thing! The property is beautiful and peaceful. If you have dogs, there is a very well-kept backyard, but you can also walk them on the sidewalk of the main road. Would most definitely recommend this very cool and hip camp!

Vicky was not only an exceptional host but she goes above and beyond with her hospitality and guidance during sessions. I felt safe, and left with a newfound sense of self. Highly recommend fully immersing yourself in as many sessions as possible especially the horse therapy and goddess combo ( you truly are treated like a goddess). I will be back for more!

It is like a little Eden in the midst of the city! We were amazed by the dense native plant diversity, small pond, ducks & chickens, all in these 5 acres! Plus all of the things that the owners have been planting.
It is rustic & primitive. We parked and then walked a path like a 10th of a mile to the owners house and then he guided us to the site. Glad we had our headlamps ready in the dark! I purchased a bundle of firewood on the app, but then needed to follow the owner around to get a wheelbarrow, load it up with wood that would need to be cut in half. He provided a handsaw. It’s do it yourself that way!
George was very accommodating. I was impressed that he was up walking around with us at 10 at night. He loves to talk about all of the things that he’s planted and the way he has worked to leave it in the natural state. He is another breed, a rare naturalist and we need more like him.
I slept great, but a drawback for my buddies was the sound of a nearby highway. I appreciated all the sounds of critters and birds surrounding us.

The best camping near Clewiston with swimming guide
Where to go
Lake Okeechobee
Situated right beside Clewiston, campers won’t have to travel far to enjoy the 730 square miles of Lake Okeechobee—the second largest freshwater lake in the United States. Lake Okeechobee boasts excellent bass fishing, scenic airboat tours, and bird watching. But swimming is not recommended thanks to the 30,000 gators that call the lake home. Take in the scenery by walking or biking sections of the 110-mile waterfront trail circling the lake. With cabin rentals, RV campgrounds, and tent campsites nearby, Hipcampers have plenty of choices to experience what Lake Okeechobee offers.
Everglades National Park
Rare wildlife species, old-growth cypress trees, and swampy wetlands are all under two hours away from Clewiston in Everglades National Park. This biodiverse area offers 1.5 million acres of boundless natural beauty. Drive Alligator Alley (I-75) or Tamiami Trail (U.S. 41) to view as much as possible. There are plenty of walking trails to get closer to the action, like the popular 14-mile Shark Valley Tram Trail. Roll the RV right into a campsite equipped with bathrooms, electrical hookups, dump stations, and water-filling stations. Or opt for a tent campground featuring fire rings and pit toilets.
Miami
Bursting with Art Deco-inspired architecture, a lively nightlife, world-renowned art galleries, and delicious Cuban food, Miami offers campers unforgettable experiences. Glamp at a luxurious yurt campsite with a queen-size bed and flush toilets before heading out to explore Little Havana’s upbeat Latin American community or visiting Wynwood Walls, an outdoor street museum showcasing vibrant murals by local and international artists. Make a pit stop at Bayfront Park, a 32-acre green space in the heart of downtown Miami, to wander through the waterfront walkway, see outdoor sculptures, or take the kids to the Lee & Tina Hills Playground.

Campers will find two distinct seasons in Clewiston, Florida: The dry season running from November until April, and the wet season starting in May and lasting until October. March, April, and May are the best months to visit, with March drawing the most crowds due to Spring Break and the Clewiston Sugar Festival. Most wildlife sightings occur in the dry season between November and April, so opt for those months to increase the chances of spotting a rare Florida Panther. Temperatures rarely dip below 70°F, so campers can expect warm, humid weather year-round.
