⛺ Phipps Park Campground Review Stuart, FL // Visitor Center, Locks & Places to Eat // Bonus Video

[@dennysisk1100]

Looks like a really nice park. Wow I thought maybe that was a Palm oak tree. LOL.🙃

[@WattsOnWheels]

Guess it's actually a strangler fig tree. Must have strangled the palm tree.

[@severecracker3640]

I know that area extremely well. Worked in Martin Co for 30 years.

[@WattsOnWheels]

Really a nice area. Thanks for watching.

Dave....you'll float...🤣🤣🤣

[@WattsOnWheels]

LOL. I do have a good one once in a while. 😆

[@mikedoran4763]

Not an Oak Tree growing around the Palm. It's a Strangler Fig.

[@WattsOnWheels]

Awesome, don't think we have those in Georgia. Thanks

So we are volunteers at the locks as well. Just a shout out to Aubrey and Forest, who work at Phipps and do a great job keeping Phipps an enjoyable stay. BE SURE you review Phipps site and understand how they installed power/water and sewage hook ups. Travel Trailers / 5th wheels should book Odd numbers (with exception to a inner area section). You will regret it if you get an even site. Road is made from reclaimed ground up road - I believe. My wife and I are used to help maintain the area and nature trails on the other side of the locks - along with helping with daily operations at the vistor and checkin booth at St Lucie South. We got a quick view of our A Class (Godzilla) as you originally turned into Phipps. PS - The house next to Phipps checking has been torn down. A general store will be coming soon.

Good point on the odd numbered campsites. At first we thought 36 had no power, then found it on the post but then 5th wheels would have to run their lines under their rig. Nice campground and nice visitor center. Keep up the good work.

My Father-in-law is in Port St Lucie. I'm a huge fan of Berry Fresh, the food is soooooo good. Get there early, it gets awfully crowded.

[@WattsOnWheels]

Such a nice area. And yes, Berry Fresh is great.

Cool place

[@WattsOnWheels]

We thought so too.

[@rdrose61]

Thanks... nice to see Regional\County\City alternatives. Like y"all, we prefer NPS, NFS, CoE, BLM, state parks and lands, and local governmental campgrounds.

[@WattsOnWheels]

Definitely like those types of campgrounds over paved, tree-less resorts.

Hi guys. Thanks for watching.

The tree in the tree: The oak tree won’t grow until the acorn is planted, usually by a squirrel.

[@WattsOnWheels]

Was told this is a strangler fig. Good name considering. :)

[@auspiciouscloud8786]

Where does Dude go, you said you have no pets.

[@WattsOnWheels]

This stop was before we got Dude. I'm still getting caught up with our winter trip.
