Family owned and operated since 1853. Jewel’s sink has been a special place that the Blanton family has swam and celebrated things at for 5 generations. It’s a slice of paradise hidden away from the hardships of society’s rat race. You can see to the bottom when the sun hits the water at the right time of day. It’s crystal clear blue like the springs that feed the rivers. This is truly a foundation of youth!

Such an AMAZING camping destination
Oh where to begin! Michael met us at the camp site and was extremely polite and very informative. Answered all of our questions and then left us to our own devices. The camp site is a beautiful pasture. You can hear the cows in the nearby pasture. Sounds of nature everywhere. Step into the woods and take a short walk and you will find a true Florida treasure. The sink is AMAZING! The water is sapphire blue and is clearer than you could ever imagine. The cave system (relatively short for nearby cave systems) that is associated to it is a great dive for those that are certified to do so. Walking the property there are several other geological features if you know where to look. This is a one of a kind experience that you won’t regret!

The sink is fun to explore. The campsite is basic, but friendly. I would recommend this location. We had a great time, thank you!

Spring Finders Dream
The sink itself is a dream. Highly recommend to go down there at mid day when the sun is shining into sink- whole different experience and color when the light shows off the blue. Not recommended for children. Have to be physically able to descend down a 3 foot drop. Loop rope provided to help down. And the light reflections onto the cliff side were breathtaking! Something we’ve never experienced before. We went late May 2023- 3pm was the perfect time for visibility- Take your pictures before getting in and mucking up the water!

Peaceful private weekend getaway
We truly enjoyed our 2 nights there. Beautiful property with a private natural spring swim hole. Very peaceful & Michael was so accommodating and nice. We recommend a 34ft max on RVs visiting simply due to the entry/exit but he did say he plans on improving that. We have a 40ft. Grand Design Solitude Fifth Wheel & did not fit easily - not for the faint of heart squeezing in & out but still was well worth it!! We saw turkey in the distance and deer too. Thanks again!

Great Camping Trip
This is a remarkable place to camp for a couple days. Big open field with a fire pit and very private. I to the woods is a large deep sink hole with a spring at the bottom you can swim in. This is not a state park or even a private ground. It’s private property and the owners are nice enough to share their natural phenomenon with others. We had a blast. The sky was cloudy but later that night it opened up and the stars were amazing.
