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.

Awesome experience!
We had an awesome experience. Small grounds but very welcoming owners and guests. Exactly what we needed to get out of town on a quick trip.

What a wonderful place. Cute tiny horses on site, friendly people, and a beautiful place to get away from it all for a bit. I have camped here twice now and would highly recommend it to others!

Great location & communicative host
Beautiful and convenient location and communicative flexible hosts made this stay a breeze. We originally had planned to camp at a spot hours beyond this location, but late day extreme traffic conditions led us to book a spot here last minute - a decision that saved our night and probably our weekend. Kudos to the hosts for being so flexible as to accept last minute bookings - and for working with us on some adjustments throughout the stay. Christine and Cal were very welcoming, and Christine was also very kind to give us a tour of their farm - and a number of great recommendations for local parks and trails to visit (Loxahatchee River Battlefield Park and Halpatiokee Regional Park among them). Other things I loved: the outdoor hot showers, the fact that the property is alongside the Allapattah Flats Wildlife Management Area land tract, the flexibility to build our own firering and the spacious camping areas. We also enjoyed meeting other tent and RV campers that we staying there at the same time - and enjoyed some great sunsets and sightings of small alligators in their pond. The proximity to Stuart and Jensen Beach were also major positives. (If you have small kids like I do, the Treasure Coast Children's Museum is worth a visit.) We'd happily stay again - and just might re-book for the future. Thanks Christine and Cal - You saved the weekend
