If it were only for car camping, there's a setup that plugs into your trailer hitch receiver. Mclean Metalworks in Bend OR makes one. They rebranded it Adventure Hammock Systems. But I'm pretty sure you are asking for a home solution that can be used on the road too.
In order to see what few have seen, you must go where few have gone. And DO what few have done.
I backed YOBO Gear's Turtlebug kickstarter, which is apparently on track for retail in November 2024. 300 pounds is at its weight limit though.
Maybe an overly robust DIY Turtledog stand is in order?
I would look at the YOBO line of stands. They are freestanding (except the Freedom stands) and have different price points depending on your needs and features. I have all three and a Turtlebug on the way when they ship. Quality made stands and a great company that is very actively supporting the hammock community.
Not sure if it fits an eleven foot hammock. https://eaglesnestoutfittersinc.com/..._content=Nomad

The legs and ridgeline out of 1" EMT Conduit and 3/4" EMT Conduit pipes at Home Depot.
The 3/4" EMT pipe will slide into the 1" EMT pipe, so make the legs as compact as you desire.
Ridgepole could be lengths of 1" with interior 3/4" couplings. Four 36" lengths of 1" EMT with three 24" lengths of 3/4' EMT interior coupler pipes will get it done.
