St George, GA · 8 sites · Tents, RVs
🌿 Welcome to Blackwater
Just 40 minutes outside Jacksonville, Blackwater is a secluded 10+ acre private riverfront property tucked along Georgia’s southernmost edge, right on the FL–GA line.
Set on a quiet bend of the St. Marys River and backed by 150+ acres of protected Florida preserve, this is real privacy, open space, natural beauty, and true “Old Florida” country vibes you won’t find in crowded camps.
🌊 The River Experience
Fed by the Okefenokee Swamp, the water carries natural tannins from peat, giving it that deep black look in the depths and a golden “sweet tea” color in the shallows.
✔️ Clean, refreshing water — ideal for swimming
✔️ Soft white sugar-sand bottom (no mud, no rocks)
✔️ No pollutants or runoff
✔️ Naturally filtered water with antibacterial properties
Swim between two states at once — the middle of the river is the state line!
🏝️ A Rare Natural Setting
Blackwater sits on Trail Ridge, a prehistoric coastal dune that once formed the edge of the Atlantic Ocean.
Today, that elevated sand ridge meets the river, creating a rare white sugar-sandbar beach, a natural feature you won’t find on most riverfront properties.
🏕️ Built for Groups & Private Gatherings
At the river’s edge sits a 70-ft covered riverfront pavilion, the heart of the experience and a true standout feature.
✔️ Power & water hookups
✔️ Shaded gathering space with river views
✔️ Room to cook, relax, and host
✔️ Custom Firepit, grills, fans, tables & chairs
This setup is ideal for:
• Private group camping
• Family reunions
• Birthdays & bachelor trips
• Weddings & full property buyouts
👉 Want the entire place to yourselves? Full-property bookings are available for complete privacy in a one-of-a-kind Southern country setting.

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!

Santa Rosa Beach, FL · 1 site
I don’t exaggerate when I say this is one of the most private stays you’ll find in the 30A area.
From your campsite, you’ll see our primary “Jungalow” on the property, but no other homes are visible from the camping spot. We’re just half a mile from the beach, yet at night you’ll fall asleep to the sounds of crickets and in the morning wake to birdsong—and you may even hear the waves.
Feel free to call or message me if you’d like a video tour of the property. While large rigs can fit, our preference is for those under 30 feet. We offer 30AMP hookups, water, and septic for dumping both grey and black tanks. 50AMP rigs are no problem if you have a converter.

If you want to be away from all the loud car & truck noises that have become a part of all beach destinations, this is your spot.
Brian is a wonderful host and is always available to help if needed.
Don't take my word for it, come check out sand between your toes for yourself, except when I'm back in town🤣🤣
As always, thank you Brian for giving us a place to relax and enjoy PCB at our pace.

I try to make it a routine to go camping with my son every time I visit him. This campsite has everything I could ask for: courteous owners, easy to follow instructions, wonderful set up at the campsite and easy access to a beach. He had an absolute blast, helping me build, and maintain a fire, walk around the entire campsite, and many hours well spent in the water. I’ll be visiting this campsite again.
