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.

The various wellness services and activities help peoples release, transform and reconnect to their true essence. A safe place to be authentic and at peace.

Nice but the other campground in the park is better. Quiet even though it is closer to the road. Avoid the handicap sites because people will walk through your site even though a sidewalk is provided.

I love this Campground! I live in Vero Beach so this is one I frequent. There is amazing kayaking down the Loxahatchee river, and you can drop off a couple hours up river, and end up right at your campground. The wild life here is bountiful, I have seen Bald Eagles with eaglets, Alligators, Manatee and Otters. The racoons will pillage your site if you aren't careful. I know they recently renovated the River Campground and I am looking forward to seeing that this year.
