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.

Gorgeous property 👌💯🙏
What a gorgeous property!!💯 This was our 2nd stay and plan on returning every chance we can. The RV spots are clearly marked and it sits along side a beautiful pond. Watching the sunrise over the pond is a must. I've spotted a red shouldered hawk, wood storks, ibis and many other birds flying over for sunrise and sunset 😁 Thank you

A nice place to stay for the night. Simple and easy to get in and out of in a standard SUV. Nice flat space to pitch tent and spread out to enjoy the sunset over the pond

Best spot ever!
This is the best hipcamp I have ever gotten the opportunity to stay at! It was very easy to find with the host's directions. I got to park right next to a pond on there well maintained grassy area. Not often do you Find a camp with a bathroom and shower yet they had both!

Fun Time!
My husband and 2 kids were at tent site 7, and next time we come we will stay at this site again! It was perfect for my kids to run around and not bother the other campers. During the night we had a raccoon visit and find an empty water bottle (and proceed to make lots of music) so remember to pick up EVERYTHING before bed unless you want a serenade by Ms. Raccoon and the Water Bottle Gang. The chicken (my kids called her Chicken Nugget) was sweet and followed my youngest everywhere. The mini horses were the cutest - we wished they could visit us at the tent site but understand that they aren't allowed due to people feeding them. The barn has an outdoor shower which is really fun. Overall this is a pretty piece of land and Christine and Cal are absolutely wonderful for sharing their backyard with others. We can't wait to camp there again if they will have us!

We are a family who camps well over a dozen times a year and this campground will always be one we remember. The property is amazing and the grounds are extremely well kept. We enjoyed the chicken who payed us a visit in the morning and the little frog sitting in the shower area. We felt surrounded by nature for being so close to town. The firewood was probably the best I have ever had at any other campground! Thank you Christine and Cal!

We stayed in the tent site camping area. Loved seeing the horses and Red the chicken. Cal and Christine and Bruce and Valerie who help out on the property were so kind and helpful. We look forward to staying again!

This is my second year camping at Christine and Cal's property and I think I loved it even more than the first year! I travel for work so it's important to me to have a place where I feel safe and comfortable and this property fits the bill perfectly. Friendly host and hostess along with other friendly happy campers, miniature horses and a cool hen to meet as well!

Yes yes yes!
Christine & Cal truly have a beautiful piece of earth they're sharing with us explorers. They are genuinely generous and welcoming hosts who just want people to enjoy nature. And the location is brilliantly placed so close to Jupiter/Blowing rocks. You have your choice of keeping to yourself or meeting the other campers here. The sites are pretty nearby one another, so it's not exactly the most private space. It's more like a cute neighborhood of like-minded individuals. I really enjoyed this aspect as a young, female, solo camper, as I was able to meet some very kind folk who shared their dinner and helped me with my hammock. Such a wonderful experience, especially if you are just open to flowing with whatever life brings your way. I would highly recommend this campsite. I felt very safe and respected by everyone I encountered.

We love camping here
This is our 2nd time back because in our opinion this is the best place to camp quietly without having to be on a years waiting list in South Florida. Everything one could want for peaceful solitude in the warmth of south Florida primitive camp life. They couldn't be more accommodating and helpful

Exactly what we needed
This was perfect for what we needed. Traveling to Fort Lauderdale for a cruise, all the hotels were ridiculously priced, even bottom-of-the-barrel motels. We just wanted a relaxing, clean place to sleep for the night, and this was perfect. The property was beautiful, portapots and shower available. The miniature horses were so cute. Wildlife everywhere. We asked the owner Christine for advice for dinner on the waterfront, and she gave us a wonderful recommendation in Port Salerno. It was exactly what we needed. We had a relaxing, peaceful night in our personal vehicle which we always use for camping for 1/10th of the price of a nasty roach motel.
