🌿 Welcome to Blackwater, Y’all! Just 40 minutes outside Jacksonville, Blackwater is a secluded 10+ acre private riverfront property located at Georgia’s southernmost tip, right on the FL-GA line. Surrounded by protected preserve and tucked along a quiet river bend, Blackwater delivers “Old Florida” vibes, unspoiled nature, a peaceful country feel, and privacy you won’t find at a public campground. Across the river views, you’ll find 150+ acres of untouched Florida preserve, giving you a peaceful, remote feel while still being close to town for essentials. We are situated on the St. Marys River, a rain-fed river flowing from the Okefenokee Swamp. Natural tannins from peat give the water its famous black appearance in deeper areas and golden “sweet tea” in the shallows. ✔️ Clean, refreshing water - safe for swimming (no gators!) ✔️ Naturally antibacterial ✔️ No pollutants or runoff ✔️ No smell, mud, or rocky bottom ✔️ Soft white sugar-sand riverbed The property sits on Trail Ridge, an ancient coastal dune formation over 10,000 years old. This unique elevation creates a rare natural sugar-sand riverbank and swimming area perfect for cooling off on hot summer days. 🌱 A Rare Southern Ecosystem Blackwater sits at the intersection of riverfront, ancient shoreline, upland hardwood forest, and cypress wetlands, all on one property. Pines, live oaks, saw palmettos, wax myrtle, and wild huckleberry fill the landscape, creating a diverse Southern ecosystem rarely found in a single place. 🏕️ Camping for Families and Groups Well-spaced sites across open wooded areas allow guests to spread out without the packed-in feel of state parks. Ideal for tent camping, vanlife, families, and small or large group gatherings looking to connect with nature and each other. A large 70ft covered riverfront pavilion with power, water, hammocks, and a firepit overlooks the river. 🔎 Quick Camp Details 🏕️ Spacious sites on a 10+ acre private property 🚗 Easy vehicle access 🔥 Firepits and grills throughout 🌌 Dark, quiet nights - incredible stargazing 🐕 Dog-friendly - FREE 📶 Cell service is spotty (great to unplug) 🚣 Things To Do Swim • Fish • Kayak • Canoe • Paddleboard • Explore 📍 Minutes from St. Marys Shoals Equine Park 📍 Close to Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge

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!
