Ross has a wonderful and very private Hip Camp location. He is a knowledgeable and welcoming host. We spent three nights at on Ross’s property. The location is very close to all kinds of activities in Sebastian. If you enjoy privacy but don’t enjoy wearing clothes 😎 book at stay with Ross.

Ross was a wonderful host! He met us at the gate and showed us to the spacious and level camp site. We then got a tour of all the new plantings, the land, and amenities if we needed them. Our site was peaceful and quiet, we took the dogs for a sunset walk and watched it set by the lake. Would love to see the progress and growth of the plantings in 3-5 years!

We absolutely loved our stay there. It’s everything you could want in a Hipcamp; it feels very remote yet your close enough to services and the beach! I hope I can make it back in a few years to see the progress on the food forest!!

Ross hasn’t updated the directions on here in a bit and has made a ton of improvements to his property so make sure to touch base with him about your arrival and where to park/meet him/setup camp. Gorgeous, peaceful place. We tent camped at the site next to the canal. Enjoyed the palms. Incredible star gazing, very dark sky the night we stayed. Ross is a warm and fascinating guy with an adorable pup. If you get a chance, it’s worth chatting with him about his goals for the food forest. He recommended a quiche spot nearby that we went to and highly recommend!
