The Best Camping Near Pomme De Terre Lake, Florida

The campground is pretty much a wide open field, there is no seperation between the sites. It is very close to a highway which can be loud. There is a nice boardwalk to walk on and the bathrooms were clean.

Not great for tent camping

Adorable, enchanting  island camping amongst water lilies, turtles, white ibis’,  blue heron and friendly folks.
Each of us are seeking “home” in nature.   A variety of camping choices here.  Staff is friendly and helpful.  Nice paved and gravel trails throughout the small, but beautiful property.   Near highway 95 for convenience.  We brought our queen sized airmatress  and it fits with plenty of space for changing clothes inside the  adorable platform canvas tent home.  We recently watched,  “ Hell on Wheels” , a series on Netflix, about people who lived in a canvas makeshift tent cities who worked by day then found comfort in their tent homes and campfires by night.  In the ole’ west, folks lived in canvas tents while they built the railroad.  We are reflecting on the joy of tent life while discovering the USA.  The canvas tents at Phipps Park, Martin County are perfect for group rentals and ideal for beginners.  All in all, this is a well kept property, worthy of staying awhile if you are passing through. 

Surrounded by water lilies...

Nice water access to the Atlantic and the Golf cost, power, water, safari tents, nice showers, nice people, not to mach shade.

I lucked into this hidden gem of a campground on my way north from Fort Lauderdale. 

The staff at the gate was super friendly and I was pleasantly surprised by the availability of sites because I rolled in on the Friday at the start of a holiday weekend. 

There is a fishing pier, bike path along the river, boat launch area, communal restrooms, laundry room (although washing machine was out of order), and outdoor dish pit. 

I really enjoyed an evening stroll around the ponds where they have "glamping" tents set up. 

This campground is built on the site of an innovative stormwater catchment and treatment area, so it had some interesting info to learn about efforts to clean and control stormwater flow in the region. 

All in all, can't be upset about a campground with plenty of space and rainbow skies at sunset!

Surprisingly Empty for the Start of Memorial Weekend!

We stayed in one of the electrical sights along the river. We made use of the fire pit and enjoyed the sunset. The other guests were friendly and we saw a bunch of dogs around. 

The property manager was highly responsive when we requested the gate code via email. The gate closes at 7:30 pm but with the code there is no issue. 

We did not visit the on-site bathrooms nor did we use the dish cleaning station. 

The glamping tents were just that - a tent built onto a platform. 

We truly enjoyed our peaceful visit to the park and highly recommend staying along the water.
