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.

o WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT STAYING AT SUMMER CRUSH o
We are a 36 acre working Florida Farm Winery and certified Agri-Tourism Farm and Nursery, as well as a well-known live music entertainment venue. The weekends can be busy, especially in season with our more popular events. If live music and other campers here are not a fit for you, we recommend visiting us on a weekday or off-season. But please know the camp sites are far from music stage, pavilion, and festival area, and the music is usually ONLY during the afternoons and over by 4pm, so the evenings are quiet. Many of our customers come back several times a year for our weekend entertainment.
After requests from our campers over the years, we do now offer upgraded power/water sites for a nightly fee.
Since we are a working farm property, there may be farm activity early some mornings, usually weekdays. We want you to know all this when deciding if we are a good fit for you to visit.
________________________________________
*PLEASE NOTE* We are a locked private property. Check-in MUST be done no later than 4:30pm.

If you have ever wondered what it might be like to live on a poultry farm -- this is it! Depending on the time of year there may also be bee hives located on the far back or very front of our pastures. Due to biosecurity measures you do not have full access to roam the entire farm and pastures. However, the RV spot is placed with a view of most farm activities. Our farm is home to free roaming hens, roosters, geese, quail, guinea fowl, ducks, turkeys and pigs. We have 4 livestock guardian dogs that keep our animals safe from predators. Both the birds and the dogs do make noise, so please keep that in mind. It's all part of farm life ! While we love animals and would love to invite your pets to stay, due to the nature of our guardian dogs we do not allow any pets.
There is grated spot for your RV with electric, water and septic hook-ups. Our farm is in operation 7 days a week and there may be poultry processing that is completed during your stay.

Camping near Perdido Key with wildlife watching guide
Overview
Perdido means lost in Spanish—a name which adds to the intrigue of this already mesmerizing camping destination. So what’s worth seeing here, you ask? Consider the white sand dunes and calm Gulf waters, or the vast, wildlife-filled estuaries. You’ll also love that over half of this island is dedicated to state or federal parks, which gives rare access to Florida’s natural flora and fauna. Whether you want to hike, swim, fish, sunbathe or simply explore on your Perdido Key vacation, you’re guaranteed to find what you’re looking for.
Where to go
Perdido Key State Park
One of many unique characteristics of Perdido Key: half of the island is in Alabama, and half is in Florida. On the Florida side, you’ll find Perdido Key State Park, a gorgeous stretch of white sand complete with picnic tables, dunes, picnic pavilion, showers and endangered wildlife. This is home to nesting sea turtles and shorebirds, with a boardwalk for viewing. Perdido Key State Park has primitive campsites as well as RV campsites, so there’s a little bit of something for every type of camper.
Johnson Beach National Seashore
This federally designated area is the perfect place to see nature and enjoy uncrowded beaches. This is part of Gulf Island National Seashore, a 215 square mile stretch between Florida and Mississippi. You’ll enjoy the lifeguards, bathrooms and paddling access in this area, and if you’re interested in hiking, you can enjoy the Discovery Nature Trail. This is a raised boardwalk that winds through many landscapes, including dunes, pine trees and salt marshes. This area does charge an entrance fee, so have a card or cash ready.
Big Lagoon State Park
This state park offers unfettered access to some of Florida’s most beautiful features. You’ll see sand dunes, tidal ecosystems and endless wildlife. There are 75 designated camping sites in Big Lagoon State Park, with fire rings, water hookups and picnic tables. Another adventure activity is the Florida Circumnavigational Saltwater Paddling Trail, the entrance of which is marked by a half kayak and a weathered log book detailing past adventures. Most importantly, don’t miss the massive raised boardwalk winding through the park, which offers various viewing points.
When to go
The warmest month in Perdido Key is July, with January being the coolest. Since this is a top place to see wildlife, you may want to plan your visit around different hatching or migration patterns. For example, if you want to see sea turtles, they tend to come onto the beach for nesting and hatching between May and August. February and March tend to be the best months for visiting the beach.
