St. Lucie South Locks & Dam COE Campground – Stuart, Florida

Living in the Tampa area for 39 years, we are accustomed to seeing lizards cross our paths.  However, walking the campground, the colorful body of the African Redhead Agama was not so familiar to us.  We were surprised by their size compared to our lizards, and the campground host said they are an invasive species.

As we stated before, this year’s journey will have many stops to visit family and friends.  This stay was our first stop visiting family for Easter.  The campground only has nine RV sites, so it’s intimate and quiet.  We could see the tranquil waterway from our site.  We saw numerous boats passing through the locks, with the U.S. Coastguard vessel being the largest. 

Downtown Stuart has many quaint shops and eateries, making it a pleasant way to spend an afternoon.  If you love relaxing by the water and watching the sun sparkle on its surface, this is the place to be.  It is a paradise for those who boat, fish, and want to catch some rays on the beach.

The roads are bike-friendly, with the majority of roads offering bike lanes.  Each Saturday, one can also visit the flea market or the farmer’s market every Sunday along the boardwalk in Stuart. 

We had a wonderful time with Mitch’s sister and brother, and we will get together again when we stop in New York this summer.
