Taste of Old Florida

13 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.

Twin Oaks Garden Retreat

1 site · RV1 acre · Sebastian, FL

Located just 5 minutes from the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River Lagoon, this hideaway is nestled into a cozy neighborhood under twin oaks and a mango tree. A taste of the “old Florida,” this neighborhood has untouched biodiversity complete with lots of yummy fruit trees, 100 year old buildings, and an artesian well (which your hosts have turned into a glorious, 70 degree bath tub). Hang your hammocks, lay out in the sun or moonlight, take a walk under the stars as the neighbor owls hoot, light an open fire and stay tucked away somewhere so close to the world, yet seemingly so remote. Cruise over to the beach for a surf lesson or to the river for a paddle boarding adventure (lessons and/or board rentals available). For RV and Van life folks we’ve got a 30 amp power plug (requires an extension cord) and city water hook up (BYO hose). Bring your furry friends. Our yard is not fenced so we ask that unless you have your own fence, you keep them on a leash and out of the garden! For a fee we will allow dumping in our septic tank *ask about availability and accessibility*. We offer a complete camp site, without the hassle of nosy RV neighbors. The Home on the property is an old concrete block Florida beauty built in the 40s, used by your hosts as the perfect sanctuary for yoga and massage. Sophia (your host) is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Yoga Instructor, and owns Sophlow Yoga, a Local Yoga Studio and Surf School. She loves gardening, and has a complete apothecary of herbs, salves and tinctures for your daily needs. Both she and her boyfriend are Native Floridians, and are more than happy to share local knowledge of their home town of Wabasso Beach. Marshall (your other host & Sophia’s other half) is an avid waterman. He is a Sailboat Captain, happy to take you cruising on the open sea or fishing for local catch, as well as a Master Carpenter with experience in plumbing, electric and mechanical handy work. He specializes in renovating small spaces such as sailboats and RVs with his attention to detail and meticulous woodwork, so you can leave not only rejuvenated, but renovated! Both of your hosts hope to give you the vacation experience of your dreams, and will support with any services they can, or by simply leaving you in peace.

Beach camping near Perdido Key with campfires 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.
