🌿 Welcome to Blackwater, y’all
Just 35 minutes outside Jacksonville, Blackwater is a secluded 10+ acre private riverfront property at Georgia’s southernmost tip right on the Florida-Georgia Line.
Surrounded by protected preserve and a river bend, our property offers "old Florida" vibes, nature, country, and a true escape from crowded camps if you seek privacy. Your campsite views across the river are of Florida, with 150+ acres of preserve, giving the property a peaceful and remote feel while remaining close to town for all essentials.
Situated on the St. Marys River, a rain-fed river flowing from the Okefenokee Swamp. Natural tannins from peat give the water its famous sweet-tea color, which appears black in deeper water and "sweet-tea" in the shallows.
✔️ Clean, refreshing, and safe for swimming (no gators!)
✔️ Naturally antibacterial
✔️ No pollutants or runoff
✔️ No smell, mud, or rocks
✔️ Soft white sugar-sand bottom
The property sits on an ancient 10,000+ year-old beach dune (Trail Ridge), creating a unique natural sugar-sand beach area and swimming spot perfect for cooling off on hot summer days.
🌱 Rare Southern Ecosystem:
Blackwater sits where river, ancient dune, hardwood forest, pine uplands, and cypress wetlands all meet. Southern oaks, saw palmettos, wax myrtle, and wild huckleberry-blueberries fill the landscape, an ecosystem rarely found on a single property.
🏕️ Camping, Families, and Groups:
Well-spaced sites across open wooded areas provide room to spread out without the packed feel of state parks. Ideal for tent camping, van life, families, and small or large group gatherings that want to connect with nature and each other.
A large 70-foot covered riverfront pavilion with electricity, water, hammocks, and a firepit overlooks the river, perfect for meals, shade, and gathering out of the summer rainstorms.

49mi from Jacksonville · 1 site · Lodging
Camp Declan is a rare find: a private, breezy, six-acre lakefront retreat that feels like stepping into classic “Old Florida,” where the air is clean, the nights are quiet, and nature is always part of the experience.
Set under a canopy of Live Oak trees draped with Spanish moss and stretching along nearly 600 feet of freshwater shoreline, this is a place where mornings start with birdsong, afternoons drift by on the dock, and evenings end around the fire pit under open skies. Fish, paddle, swim, grill, relax — or do nothing at all while napping in one of several hammocks. The lake and floating dock are always the centerpiece of life here.
The property includes three thoughtfully designed buildings:
Cabin – comfortable air-conditioned sleeping quarters with private bathroom
Bunkhouse – group-friendly lodging (six adult-sized bunkbed sets) with bathroom
Cabana – the social hub with outdoor bar, kitchen, commercial ice machine and hangout space
Together, Camp Declan comfortably hosts up to 18 overnight guests and is ideal for families, youth retreats, reunions, fishing buddies, retreat weekends, and anyone seeking a down-to-earth, unplugged getaway with real space to spread out.
Outdoors, guests enjoy:
• Large floating dock
• Fire pit and gathering areas
• Volleyball, badminton, frisbees and washer toss (think cornhole)
• Canoeing, kayaking and lake swimming
• Anchored swim raft
• Fully fenced, private grounds
Indoors and out, you’ll find:
• Fully equipped kitchen
• Outdoor kitchen and bar
• Hot indoor and outdoor showers
• Clean bathrooms in every building
This is not a resort — it’s a private fish-camp-style escape where comfort meets authenticity. If you’re looking for polished luxury, this may not be your place. If you’re looking for privacy, ample outdoor space, water access for your boat or jet ski, and a true Florida lake experience, Camp Declan delivers in a way few properties can.

Resident wildlife includes armadillos, opossums, racoons, deer, wild turkeys, raptors, songbirds too numerous to list. There are also coyotes and bobcats in the area, but they are illusive and unlikely to be spotted. The site is also adjacent to an animal sanctuary.

I stayed 2 nights at La Quinta Bonita and I’ll tell you what. - what a peaceful little retreat with such down-to-earth and easy-going helpful hosts! If only time and life had allowed for a longer stay, I would not have hesitated to extend mine.
With the exception of nature’s nightly medley of hoots and howls (which is what this city boy NEEDS on retreats! lol ), the quiet was very refreshing.
The little camper is bigger than meets the eye when you enter it. Shower, toilet, all I needed worked well. Running water throughout.
Fresh eggs and hand-picked veggies for breakfast was a plus. Best omelet I’ve made in a long time. When I arrived, I was shown around and if I needed help, it was easy to get. I’m very much looking forward to many visits to come.

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!

The tent camping with electric hookup was exactly what we expected and the area was spacious. Property was well maintained and we enjoyed our stay thoroughly. We will definitely be coming back to visit! Highly recommend renting the entire property with friends which we plan on doing next year!

A perfect spot for us to land after being chased by winter weather all the way from Vermont. Jeff and Wendy are terrific hosts and we are grateful for our time at the Happy Hideaway. The site had plenty of room for our 35' TT with electric and water nearby. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. The short drive to Anastasia Island was easy.

The campsite was clean and spacious. Even though other campers were present, we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The water features were unique and felt safe to swim and play around. We had a fun time stargazing. We even got lucky and witnessed several hours of meteor showers.

It is a big campground (50+ acres) with a small campground feel. It wasn't crowded when we were there and it was very quiet and beautiful. Good options for tent sites in a grassy field or under big oak trees. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay there again.

We had a great stay at Jeff's place. It was a peaceful spot with plenty of wood for a fire. Jeff was very welcoming and friendly. Even gave us a information packet with things to do and important numbers which was very thoughtful. Next time we are passing through we will definitely stay there again.

Sarah was super responsive to all communication. There was a fire ready to burn when I got there. There was a bathroom in close proximity.
The site felt private and cozy. I would recommend staying in her grounds for sure.

One of the BEST sites I’ve found through Hipcamp!!!! There was no shortage of things to do on the property itself, but as other reviews have mentioned, there are plenty of nature activities all within short driving distance. Host was great, facilities had everything I needed and in working order. I will definitely be back.

Stayed 2 nights. Camping with tents. At the time of this review, there was a drought, so the river was extremely low. Property was very well kept, clean, and a great central location if you don’t want to be too far away from everything. Hopefully next time the rain has raised the river so we could do the full runs, up and down stream. The water was nice and cool, great for the warmer days we had in November. We will definitely be returning. Great site.

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.

Great location for a weekend camp. We were in a 23' TT and used the 30 amp service and water with no problems. CG is clean and stocked with toys to keep the grandkids busy. St Mary's was VERY low water. No paddling this weekend. Will definitely be back. Great job M !
