Managed by Martin County, Phipps Park Campground sits along the water in Stuart, Florida, built on the site of a stormwater catchment and treatment system that gives the property an unusual ecological backstory. The campground runs year-round and features full hookups including electric, water, and sewer, along with showers, WiFi, a dump station, and an outdoor dish station. Sites include both concrete pads and gravel, and several run directly along the river, where campers have watched sunsets from fire pits and spotted white ibis, blue heron, and turtles around the ponds.
Water access is the most consistently praised feature across reviews. The park includes a fishing pier, a bike path along the river, and a boat launch area, giving paddlers and anglers straightforward entry to the water. The property also has platform canvas tents available for those who prefer a more structured setup, though at least one reviewer noted the tents had gaps that allowed mosquitoes inside. Site spacing can feel open without much separation between neighbors, and highway noise is a factor given the proximity to I-95.
The gate closes at 7:30 pm, but the property manager provides a code by email for after-hours entry. Pets are allowed, and dogs were a common sight during visits. Breezy and Max R. describe it as "island camping amongst water lilies, turtles, white ibis, blue heron." Nearby, St. Lucie South provides another option for campers working through this stretch of South Florida. Phipps Park works well for RV travelers with hookup needs and for anyone prioritizing water access over seclusion.
