🌿 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.

Land is flat and has fire pit spaces and BBQ grills. Outdoor shower was appreciated even though we didn’t use it & it was great to have the port-o-potty on site. The best part was getting to see the animals!"

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.

Peaceful place to spend as many nights as you need. Park next to the lake and take out your fishing pole and have a blast catching Big Bass, Bream and Specs and maybe a catfish. If fishing is not your thing sit by the waterfall and relax or roast a marshmallow or two in the fire pit.

St. Augustine's original Alligator Farm was located adjacent to our property. We are one mile south of the NE FL Regional Airport and it's not unusual to see a biplane practising barrel rolls for an air show. We are 30-45 minutes from Jacksonville, birthplace of the Blue Angels, and 15 minutes from downtown St. Augustine, the nation's oldest continuously occupied city. Message me for discounts on long-term stays.

This former timberland has been recently thinned but still retains enough pine and hardwood trees to provide a natural shade. Come camp under the stars and explore wild Florida, surrounded by palmettos and other native wildlife. You may see the occasional deer, turkey, or rabbit strolling though. Pack out what you pack in and help us keep this spot “all natural” for all guests.

Amazing site. One of the best campsites I have stayed at. I spent the trip with my son and we had an incredible time. The site is spacious, flat, and well laid out, which makes it great for families and groups. The fire pit and seating area made evenings easy and relaxing, and the grill and picnic tables were well positioned and practical. There is plenty to do without leaving camp, but town is close for food and supplies. Walmart is right off the highway, and there are solid local spots nearby, including a fun vinyl record shop in town. We enjoyed it so much that we already booked the site again and are bringing our whole family back in a few weeks.

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.

We recently went camping and had a wonderful stay at this beautiful campsite. The property is one of the best we’ve ever camped at, and it was so much fun to explore. One of the highlights was the huge covered pavilion with power and water. It was a great bonus to be able to set our tents up underneath it, with plenty of space for cooking, eating and hanging out as well. The site also has bathroom access, which was very convenient.
There are so many fantastic amenities here, especially for families, including a variety of toys, bikes, a kids’ play area, a trampoline, a hammock, and a variety of games. There were plenty of tables and chairs, and the fire rings located throughout the property were perfect for campfires. The campsite is surrounded by a river, making the setting especially peaceful and enjoyable.
The host, MK, was excellent with communication and very accommodating. We had a great experience and plan to return next year. We would definitely recommend this campsite to others.

Loved camping here. It was a lovely spot and really interesting for the kids as there was horses, a pony and chickens all a short stroll from our tent. It kept them busy for hours!

Absolutely amazing! I’m going to find a way to help them with their “hunters leaving starving dog behind,” problem. The host was so kind and helpful. I will definitely be booking again. The views were amazing and I appreciated how much space my dogs and I had to roam around. Thank you so much for providing such a great space for people like me to decompress.

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!

Karen and Phil were great hosts. We had some trouble with our vehicle and there were more than glad to help us. They were very friendly and took time to show us around the property and even shared a cutting of a plant from her garden. This place was very clean and had great outdoor areas for us to hang out. Would not hesitate to book here again. Many thanks Kim and Leon.

It’s a beautiful property. My wife and I both loved the horses and the trees. The outdoor shower was great with the open sky above but still had complete privacy. It was just a few minutes from historic St. Augustine. We would definitely stay there again.

Loved camping here! The family is very welcoming, the bathroom is clean, and the outdoor shower stays hot. The view is gorgeous and there's plenty of space between campsites. It is an open pasture so you can be seen by other campers, but hidden from the road. Some of the older reviews stated that they could hear trains all night, but I didn't hear any (I'm a light sleeper). My spouse said he heard it once. There were some gunshots, but that's to be expected with the location. It's also only 20 minutes from downtown St. Augustine which was awesome! We will definitely be booking here again. 😊

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!
