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.

Camping on Christine and Cal's land was great. The property is clean and conveniently located.

Site 1 facing sunset

I loved being able to set up my tent in a nice private area! The mini ponies were adorable. I would stay here again. However, the family at the host house had children making noise outside the whole evening- which made for a not-so quiet camping experience. The portable bathroom’s sink wasn’t working. But other than that, I really enjoyed my stay here!

Site 3 in the woods.

Close to south florida but the sites were small, close together, little to no shade on 1-3, owner runs a port a potty business so those are easily all visible. Yeah just not great but close.

Site 7 Secluded- allow two vehicles

This is a great spot to spend so time outdoors. The space was spacious and private, the property is well kept. I hope to return soon. Thank you for sharing your property, I enjoyed it very much.

Site 3 in the woods.

Nice little campsite with scenic views, I loved getting to see the natural foliage of Florida. Christine and Cal were quick to respond and super helpful with everything I needed. It was my first time using hipcamp, and honestly, I would love to do this again. Can't think of a better first experience.
