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.

🏞️🌲 White Sand. Sunny River Days. Oak & Pine Forest. Two States. Wild Turkeys. Southern Country vibes
A private riverfront escape just 40 minutes outside Jacksonville, right on the FL-GA line.
🌿 Welcome to Blackwater
Blackwater is a secluded 10+ acre private property on a quiet bend of the St. Marys River, with 150+ acres of protected Florida preserve directly across the river. Located right on the state line at the southernmost edge in Georgia.
We intentionally keep Blackwater small, quiet, and private, with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the river and surrounding woods.
And there's something pretty unusual about this place:
The Florida–Georgia state line runs right through the river.
You can literally swim between two states at once. 🌊
🏝️ The White-Sand River Beach
Long before Blackwater was here, this part of Georgia was the ancient coastline. Today, where that old coastal "trail ridge" meets the St. Marys River, you find a soft white private sandbar along a shallow, clean, refreshing, dark blackwater river surrounded by native woods.
🌊 The St. Marys River
The St. Marys is a freshwater, rain-fed river flowing from the Okefenokee Swamp.
Naturally occurring tannins from peat in the Okefenokee give the deeper water its black color, while the shallows turn a beautiful golden “sweet tea” color.
🏊 Swim it.
🛶 Paddle it.
🎣 Fish it.
🏕️ The Riverfront Pavilion
Right at the river's edge is our 70' covered pavilion overlooking the river.
It's a place to get out of the sun ☀️, wait out an afternoon rainstorm 🌧️, cook a meal 🍳, play some games 🎲, gather around the fire pit 🔥, or simply sit and watch the river and spot birds as the sun sets.
⚡ Power
💧 Water
💡 Lights
🌀 Fans
🪑 Tables & Chairs
🔥 Grills & Fire Pit
🎲 Games
The pavilion is available for small and large private group camping, celebrations, club or troop gatherings, and full-property buyouts.
🔐 Want the Whole Place to Yourself?
Full-property private bookings are available.
Bring your group, spread out, and enjoy Blackwater as your own private river retreat.
For the right group, having the entire property to yourselves changes the experience completely.
Bring your people and have the property to yourselves.
Your group, the river, and the woods. 🌊🌲
Do Something. Or Nothing at All.
🌲 Your Weekend at Blackwater
🏊 Swim and wade
🛶 Paddle and/or kayak
🎣 River and pond fishing
🥾 Explore our easy trails
🐦 Birdwatch and make friends with the turkeys
🔥 S’mores and stories around the campfire
🌌 Stargaze under dark skies
🎯 Archery and BB gun practice (we only supply the backstop)
📶 Cell service is limited — a chance to unplug
🦃 Yes, We Have Turkeys.
Free-ranging heritage/wild friendly turkeys roam the property and call Blackwater home.
You may wake up to them wandering through the campsite in the morning looking for a meal.
They're part of the experience here.
🐕 Dogs are welcome — FREE.
Because our turkeys roam freely, dogs must remain under control and may not chase, harass, or attack the birds. Please make sure your pup is friendly towards the birds before you let your pup off leash.
🧭 Want to explore more?
📍 St. Marys Shoals Park — just minutes away

Osceola National Forest is 200,000 acres of exploration with your name on it! In the northeastern Floridian forest, pine flatwoods and cypress-hardwood swamps surround, with diverse wildlife abound. In this leafy paradise lives gopher tortoises (they act like gophers, but are tortoises!), alligators, black bears, and the skunk ape, also known as the “stink ape,” which bears an uncanny resemblance to bigfoot. Areas of recreation include Ocean Pond--a fave place for boaters, skiiers, and campers, and Olustee Beach for swimming, fishing, and picnicking. The park is also open to hunters and fishermen with permits. With so much land to explore in this National Forest, we wouldn’t be surprised if bigfoot was hiding in there!

Campsites are on a small horse farm located just 4 miles from downtown St Augustine and 5 miles from Vilano Beach. Many hiking and water activities within 30 minutes.
You select the space you where you wish to set up camp.
The entrance off the dirt road is tricky for large rigs or trailers more than 35' may not have easy access.
Our sites offer potable water, a shower, picnic tables, a toilet, wifi, trash disposal, space for campfires, and we are pet friendly!
We can accommodate tents, RVs, and trailers.
Our guests love staying here: "Camping at Gayle’s property was an amazing experience. We shared the field with 3 other campers but there was still plenty of room between sites. 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!"

Camping is easy with washer, dryer, fridge, stove, microwave, dishes, coffee pot, toaster and blender, all in an air-conditioned shed. Don't want to cook inside?

Wifi, electric and water included. Porta potty and outdoor shower with 8 gal. hot water tank. Two large outdoor sinks, one with 4 gal. hot water tank, the other one shares the 8 gal. tank with the shower.

Blackwater Ranch is a real gem of a property. Lots of activities, plenty of space, and tons of easy access to the river, which is the star of the show. One of the unique features of rivers in this area is their white sand beaches and Blackwater Ranch has some of the best I've seen. The river was low when I visited (drought) but I can tell that even when full it is a fairly shallow and slow moving river with multiple spots that stay shallow due to the way the water deposits sand, making it a great river for younger kids. Even the bugs weren't too bad, which being summer in FL/GA was a welcome surprise. The property is equipped with the necessities for a comfortable experience (water, electricity, pit toilet) but still very primitive and rustic.
I camped one night solo but will certainly be back with a group of friends!

I needed a place close to Mayo Clinic for daily treatments and could not have found a better location. Chrissy was a very accommodating hostess and her yard although on the road felt very private with the landscaping. Very close to all the shopping and restaurants we needed as well as the beautiful Neptune beach. We definitely would stay again.

So quiet and peaceful. We had to be in Jacksonville for multiple meetings and needed to extend our stay twice. Easy booking, fast feedback and privacy. Host was available but not intrusive, he responded quickly when we needed anything. Area was clean, paddleboat available to float around the pond. Conveniently located close enough to town with that out of town feel. We will stay again if we come back to the area.

We stayed at Ry's twice: on our way south and again on our way north. This is a great spot for an overnight when enroute somewhere. Far enough off I-95 to be in a quiet neighborhood, but still convenient. We drove into St. Augustine for dinner (the St. Augustine Fish Camp had great food and service). Ry was available and helpful. The site is his wide driveway, but that was fine. Power and water hookups were good and the site was level and wide enough to accommodate our slides. Easy to back in and pull out.
