8 nights at South Florida Permaculture Farm

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.

Weekend Trip to Saint Lucie Farm Preserve

We had a great time camping at this preserve. Michael is very responsive and doesn’t hesitate to answer any questions you may have. When we arrived he had someone ready to show us how to get to our spot which is secluded so very peaceful change from the busy state parks. The site was clean and had great space and coverage. I would definitely recommend this to anyone and would stay again!!

This is a working farm and venue with great spots to car camp. The preserve on the property is a beautiful old oak hammock to explore. We saw gators, otters, heard coyotes in the distance. Fun spot to unwind for a weekend.

I loved every second of my time at St Lucie Farm Preserve! Michael was a gracious host, and the location was perfect ( I could hear some highway noise but it was nothing). This is the best experience if you want quiet, some trails to walk through, and beautiful scenery. I’ll definitely be returning.

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!

Mr. G’s permaculture farm was so lovely and peaceful. Waking up slowly to the sound of the birds and seeing the light come through the trees was so lovely. Mr. G was so kind and understanding. He made me feel so safe and comfortable, and I would have loved to stay longer. Not a far drive from the beach and a really cool experience. Thanks again Mr. g!

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.

Weekend Trip to Saint Lucie Farm Preserve

Michael was very informative, so we arrived well prepared. The site is beautiful, quiet, and peaceful. Our group of forty plus people had plenty of room to play and spread out, while still being able to enjoy group company. There was a lot of space, allowing us to have a choice for locations of tents, fire ring, and picnic tables to best suit our group (ages 5-50). This location was a much better group experience than the state park we went to last year. At the Saint Lucie Farm Preserve we could all be together, had safety and privacy for the kids to adventure together, had the freedom to have a noisy site while awake but also had the tranquility of the property when we wanted to sleep - it was an awesome experience. We can’t wait to book again next year. Highly recommend!

Michael's spot was even better than expected. The pictures truly don't do it justice. This was our first time booking through HipCamp, and Michael's place has set the bar pretty high. We arrived after dark and he met us at the gate and guided us in to pick the perfect spot. Plenty of shade, privacy, porta potties, a fire ring, and he even left us a big pile of firewood. Not only will we be back, we'll be bringing more friends next time. He was so hospitable and has really built something magical. 10/10 recommend!

The best pets off leash camping near Stuart guide

Where to go

Allapattah Flats Wildlife Management Area

Fifteen miles south of Stuart, explore Florida’s pine flatlands and marshes from a campsite inside Allapattah Flats Wildlife Management Area. During the day, see wading birds alongside one of the park’s hiking and biking trails. Then, linger until nightfall for spectacular stargazing. A Special Use License is required for year-round camping at a designated area within the wildlife area, so it’s best to book a license early to guarantee a spot. Hunting is also allowed within the area during specific months.

Jonathan Dickinson State Park

Just 30 minutes outside of Stuart is a favorite for year-round RV camping in the area. Jonathan Dickinson State Park offers 144 campsites with water, electricity, tables, and a grills between two campgrounds. The Pine Grove campground also offers sewer hookups. RV and tent campers can enjoy tiled restrooms with showers and a washer and dryer. After setting up, try horseback riding, birding, a pontoon boat tour, or hiking within the park’s expansive forest and river landscape.

John C. and Mariana Jones/Hungryland Wildlife and Environmental Area

With hunting, fishing, and nature study for every type of camper, Jones/Hungryland is filled with wildlife and Florida’s natural beauty. Find trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding through the flatlands, and learn about the region’s history in cattle ranching and citrus farming. Picnic tables, toilets, and a pavilion make Jones/Hungryland comfortable for a multi-day stay. Year-round primitive tent camping within the wildlife area is limited, so get a permit and book ahead to score a campsite.

When to go

Florida’s mild climate makes it easy to camp year-round in Stuart. December to March is the most popular time of year for all types of camping because Florida winters bring plenty of bright sun and relief from the heat. March to May offers spring blooms and cool nights, with daytime temperatures starting in the low 70s. Camping in the hot summer months is still popular for crowds who like swimming. Prepare for summer camping with lots of sunscreen and bug spray.
