Greetings Hipcampers! Thank you for considering your tent camping adventures on this site, we look forward to welcoming you! Here’s some information about the general area. If you don’t need it, just skip down to the “About us” section. Our property is located in the Sailfish capital of the country in the heart of Historic Port Salerno/Stuart Florida. World class deep sea fishing, boating, and some of the finest seafood restaurants on the east coast are less a mile away. We’re just 5 miles from downtown Stuart on the Inland waterway that offers a lovely walkable downtown where you will find a theater, unique art studios, interesting and unique craft and clothing shops, and numerous restaurants offering everything from vegan and vegetarian options, to pizza, steak, and local seafood. If you’re looking for fast food franchises in the downtown areas, you’ll need to look elsewhere! Only 11 miles from Jonathan Dickinson State Park known for it's expansive scrub and wildlife habitat, you will find excellent hiking, birding, and great bicycling (on and off road) trails as well as kayaking adventures through the mangroves. Kayak and bicycle rentals are available near the launch site. Daily excursions are also available from the launch site to the infamous legend Trapper Nelson’s hideaway. A must do for adventurous types who appreciate legends and creative off grid living. We are nestled in a bird paradise in a quiet park-like setting located on the edge of a beautiful Lake at the end of a dead end road. The location offers a natural walking path with 3 foot bridges around the lake. Our property is off the beaten path but has very easy accessibility to all major roads including interstate 95. Grocery stores, Walmart, gas stations all within a mile or two. Our camp sites provide you a peaceful stay while still being close to all you seek. This location makes for a great stop over or destination spot. About us: Please note: This is a tent camp site only. We can not accommodate a truck camper, a pull behind, Van camper, or anything other thing than a ground pitched tent. What you can expect to find at our listing: The surface of the tent site is mostly flat with a mix of grassy and sandy type soil usually with some covering of native pine needles. Our 1/2 acre property is naturally-forested with several towering eastern slash pines and palm trees, and several fruit trees. Guests will wake in the morning to the lovely site and peaceful sounds of the mostly year round residents including pileated & red-bellied woodpeckers, black vultures, raccoons, egrets, ibis, hawks, quaker parrots, herons, bluejays, grackles, crows, lizards, mourning doves, gray squirrels, owls, hawks, and occasional sightings of iguanas and turtles. We’ve yet to see an alligator here! Let us know if you spot one! Nights tend to be dark and quiet by the lake offering a world away from the hustle and bustle with minimal traffic noise. A train can sometimes be heard in the distance. We are family and pet friendly provided your pet is too! Please be respectful and responsible in bringing along a leash and your own pet waste bags. Please pack out what you pack in. There is either a porta potty or a compost toilet near the tent site. Please be aware it is a compost porta-potty type and is located within its own small tent structure. Be sure you understand that this is definitely not a flush toilet. We don’t want you to be disappointed. You will be asked to cover your deposits with the sawdust and mulch material provided. electricity for charging small devices is available along with city/potable water from a hose located about 50' from the campsite. Please, no generators. There is no wifi but cell reception tends to be very good. A fire pit located about 50’ from the camp site may be available for your enjoyment depending upon current fire conditions and restrictions. Please advise host in advance if you plan to use the fire pit, and please remember to bring your own firewood! Bundles can be purchased from a residence around the corner, and kindling can be gathered from around the site. We do not currently have an outdoor kitchen or cooking utensils so please remember to bring your own supplies. Smoking is permitted. Please advise host in advance so that we can provide an appropriate container to safely extinguish cigarettes. Please be considerate of neighbors when enjoying your music. Thank you! Check in time is about 2pm but very flexible depending upon availability. Check out is noon unless prior arrangements are made. We will happily answer any questions or concerns you may have upon arriving and then we’ll respect your privacy and solitude unless you desire more interaction. We look forward to your arrival! Welcome to Port Salerno.

Tent or Camper Van Site

Gia made me feel very welcomed and even provided me some gear I forgot to pack. They offered their hospitality freely at the same time providing me as much solitude as I wanted. There is a lovely lake with walking path all around which I appreciated and kayaking close by.

Gia's place is in a delightful neighborhood with greenspace that offers a lake walk and plenty of birds, turtles, etc. It's a lovely spot to enjoy the sunrise and sunse,t yet you're just a half-mile walk to the waterfront of art galleries, restaurants, etc. With easy access to A1A, you're also about midway between Stuart and Hobe Sound, so take your pick and head to the beach, wildlife preserves, walking, biking, fishing, and boating options. Best of all, you get to meet interesting, wonderful people who know how to hosts travelers. This was my first Hipcamp experience and now I'm spoiled!

This review is solely to praise Gia, the host. She kindly took my last minute request to stay when my original campsite was damaged by hurricane related tornadoes. Though I requested four nights, she could only accommodate the first two as she was going out of town. But after I arrived and following almost an hour of warm conversation with her and her partner, she very graciously allowed me to stay two more nights in her absence. Such trust, generosity, and kindness is not commonplaces (except, perhaps on this site…). She totally saved me from a challenging uproot and made space for me to truly relax and reset. The best. Oh, and the outdoor shower…!

Great host! Lovely little spot with water view, tucked in a little neighborhood, minutes away from all the civilization one might need. Outdoor shower a major bonus - great for washing away the ocean after a day at the beach. Gia is fantastic - grest, prompt communication. Recommended!

I loved tent camping at Gia's. I am from Miami, like any big city there is to much cement, concrete and asphalt. Visiting Gia's property was like finding an oasis, with a beautiful lake and a site covered by trees that protect you from the sun. The tent spot has its own restroom, shower. Gia is very nice and always willing to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
