🌿 Welcome to Blackwater, Y’all
Just 40 minutes outside Jacksonville, Blackwater is a secluded 10+ acre private riverfront property tucked along Georgia’s southernmost tip, right on the FL–GA line.
Set along a peaceful bend of the St. Marys River and surrounded by 150+ acres of protected Florida land, Blackwater offers privacy, space, and "old Florida" county vibes.
🌊 The River
Fed by the Okefenokee Swamp, the water carries natural tannins (tannic acid) from peat, that creates blackwater in the depths, and golden "sweet tea" in the shallows.
✔️ Clean, refreshing water – perfect for swimming
✔️ Soft white sand bottom (no mud or rocks)
✔️ Naturally filtered mineral-rich water with antibacterial properties
Swim between two states at once the middle of the river is the state line!
🏝️ History Beneath Your Feet
Blackwater sits on Trail Ridge, a prehistoric coastal dune formed over a million years ago, once the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.
Today, that elevated sand ridge meets the river to create a rare natural swimming area and private sugar sand sandbar beach area you won’t find at typical parks, perfect for cooling off on those hot summer days.
🌿 A Rare Southern Ecosystem
Blackwater features an upland hardwood forest and a cypress pond, all on one property. Pines, live oaks, saw palmettos, and wild huckleberries
🏕️ Perfect for:
Family camping
Large and small groups
Private celebrations
Family Reunions
Overlanders and vanlife camping adventures
At the heart of the property is a 70ft covered riverfront pavilion available to rent, your place for cooking, relaxing, playing games, and gathering under the shade with the river in view.
🔎 The Experience:
🛶 Kayaking & paddling access
🏊♂️ River swimming
🔥 Firepits and grills
🎣 Try your hand at river fishing
🚗 Easy drive-in access
🌌 Incredible stargazing
🥾 Nature trails & light exploring
🐦 Birdwatching & wildlife viewing
🐕 Dog-friendly (FREE)
📶 Limited cell service (chance to unplug)
📍 Minutes from St. Marys Shoals Equine Park
📍 Close to Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge
Because this is private property, not a state campground, availability is very limited, and weekends fill quickly. Want even more privacy camping? We recommend booking a weekday over a weekend.

I came looking to let my dogs off leash and this place was better than i could have hoped for. The river was beautiful and cool and my pups ran and splashed and smiled the whole time we were there. I'm excited to add this to my list of places to stay. Will definitely be back. Thank you for sharing your land with us.

A buddy and I truck camped on campsite 1 here in early March. There were no skeeters and the night time temperatures were excellent. I like that the camp spaces have generous room. The bathrooms were a nice surprise and well kept. Everything was first class. We will come here again when the river rises.

Employees were very friendly. They welcomed us on site and explained everything right away
The Country store was not much but it’s also not season time for their blueberry’s, so I’m sure the store was not stocked.
It was a little run-down but that didn’t matter to us. We were just looking for a place to boon-dock. This site provided us a quiet and beautiful country feeling. We felt safe and would definitely return.

It’s hard to put into words how my camping experience was at Blackwater Ranch Campground… serene, relaxing. Three days wasn’t enough, so I extended it two more days and I had the campground to myself the whole time, just me and my doggie and he didn’t have to be on a leash. The host was awesome! He welcomed me and gave me a complementary bundle of wood to get me started. I came to rejuvenate myself and I’m so incredibly sad to leave! But I’m sure anyone would be sad leaving here to go back to Minnesota 😭. It was such a blessing. I recommend it to everyone! The perfect little getaway! White sand beaches along the river. Nice little walking paths in the woods. I’ll definitely be coming back!

1 night at The Loft At Praise Acres
I got in late and left early so I didn't get the full experience. That said, the communication and directions were good. It was close enough to rt 95 to make the quick overnight convenient. The place was clean and well appointed. You are staying on a farm so I would expect the normal farm sounds like cows and roosters. Plenty of parking and room for my small boat and trailer.

This was our third trip out here. We usually book one of the larger sites, but this one was perfect for a weekend with my son.
Site #2 is simple, quiet, and private. Easy drive up access. Plenty of room for a tent and a solid fire setup. The river access is the highlight. Calm water. Clean shoreline. Great spot for morning coffee and winding down at night.
If you are bringing a larger group, book one of the bigger sites on the property. For two people, this one is dialed in.
Host communication was clear and consistent as always.
We will be back.

I highly recommend this campground. All sites are spread apart from one another and have amenities like chairs, fire rings, hammocks. I stayed at site #2 which didn't have power or a picnic table but I feel had one of the best locations/views. I would stay again!

I circled the weird part of Georgia that dips into Florida on a map and asked my local born friends "what goes on in the dingus?" After the laughter subsided we found Blackwater Ranch and decided to give it a try. What a lovely, family friendly place. Clean bathrooms, running water, electricity, and a very unique location! Camping here in January lets you benefit from the lack of bugs while still enjoying this very clean and well maintained campground. The host's instructions were clear and easy to follow and the list of nearby amenities and entertainment was very cool to look through. I was surprised to have 5 bars of 5G on Google Fi here which is handy unless you're hiding from work during a forecasted ice storm back home. If you're bringing a large group of people and are pressed for space you can leave the chairs home. The pavilion comes fully stocked with every kind of camp chair you can imagine. Tent sites are nice and large and I couldn't find a single rock the whole weekend. No worries about setting up a tent on rough or uneven ground. Hammock campers may want to look into sites other than site 1 with maybe only 3 viable trees to hang from. All in all it was a fun weekend at a very nice campground. We'll be coming back!

This was our 1st camp trip with our TaG teardrop camper. The Hosts directions brought me straight to the property with lock combination instructions. The camp area is right on the Florida and Georgia line and our site had a nice bluff overlooking the St Mary's which is currently a little low water level due to recent dry spell but the area surrounding the camp site is beautiful and also has plenty of amenities for taking up time for the younger crowd such as Frisbee golf holes, footballs and other sport equipment as well as clean bathrooms and an available big pavilion for rent. Love the beauty of this campsite with my only negative being the sound of cars passing nearby being in your ears until pretty late in the evening but not too annoying however. I'd also recommend the host to put little numbers on the campsites for easy identification. Remembering what your site looks like on the website helps you figure out which area is your site.
I had Verizon and no service.......which was wonderful.

Friendly host, great camp spot with a white-sand river and beautiful woods. The grounds were full of amenities like fire rings, hammocks, and chairs. There were even extras such as a trampoline and various yard games. The gated site made the whole place feel safe and secluded. We were only one of two groups there during our stay. By far, these were some of the best outhouses I’ve encountered—complete with working lights and a hand-washing sink between the two stalls. Definitely a place worth staying!

We had an amazing stay at Blackwater Ranch! From the very beginning, the owner was wonderful to work with and communicated clearly and promptly, which made everything so easy and stress-free.
The property itself was beautiful, peaceful, and exactly what we were hoping for. Everything was clean and well maintained, and the bathrooms were spotless, which is always a big plus for our family.
We truly enjoyed our time here and couldn’t have asked for a better place to relax and unwind. We will definitely be recommending Blackwater Ranch to friends and family and look forward to staying again in the future!

This is a great place for children and rv camping. Lots of toys, cars, and trucks for the kids to play with. The St. Mary's river borders the property and is accessible for wading, swimming, and fishing. The property itself is very nice with some secluded spots if you want to do some primitive tent camping. There are port-o-let style toilets with a sink and access to potable water.

This spot is a jewel! Right off the road but tucked away. Lovely river access with sweet white sugar sand beaches. Great for kids with fun stuff to keep them occupied. A really cool cypress glade with knees galore if you are willing to explore. Our night was shared with a large group of folks gathering for fun, and we still felt we had privacy. We would go back in a heartbeat and recommend that you check it out!

Where to go
Fort Clinch State Park
For proof that Fernandina Beach does it all, Fort Clinch State Park clinches the deal. As a well-preserved Civil War fort, Fort Clinch contains galleries, beaches, and trails. The fort is simultaneously a park, so in between all of those cannons, tortoises may make an appearance. Incredible views are a common amenity across Fort Clinch campsites, which can accommodate RV, cabin, and tent campers—as well as campers seeking a bungalow, boat, or yurt.
Amelia Island State Park
Head south of Fernandina Beach, and you’ll encounter Amelia Island’s namesake park As one of the Talbot Island State Parks, Amelia Island State Park covers roughly 200 acres of beaches, marshes, and forests. Given this all-encompassing scenery, campers can enjoy a slew of activities. Think: swimming, kayaking, sunbathing, and fishing. If you really love the latter, make sure to stop by George Crady Bridge Fishing Pier State Park to cast your rod with the locals.
Talbot Island
Just below Fernandina Beach—and Amelia Island, for that matter—Talbot Island yet again merges landscapes. Less than 30 minutes south of your Fernandina Beach campsite, you’ll leave one island and enter another. Enjoy a picnic, swim, or hike at Big Talbot Island State Park. Just south of the park, the wetlands of Timucuan Ecological and Historical Preserve beg for a slow morning spent birdwatching and admiring Florida’s marshes.
When to go
Fernandina Beach camping thrives when the beaches are at their best. As is the case for most of Florida, optimal beach camping means a winter getaway. Florida summers get unbearably hot and bug-ridden. All campers can agree—nature is enjoyed best when the nights are cool and the mosquitoes sparse.
