34mi from Folkston · 13 sites · Tents, RVs
Welcome to Blackwater, y'all! Tucked along the Florida–Georgia line on the most southern tip of Georgia, Blackwater is a 10+ acre private property surrounded by Georgia pines and live oaks. Here, the days feel longer, the countryside invites you to slow down, unplug, and explore. Just 35 minutes from Jacksonville and an hour from St. Augustine, this peaceful compound boasts more than 1,300+ feet of riverfront. Over 2+ acres of open field provide plenty of space to spread out, while the surrounding native woods capture that “Old Florida” feel. Across the river on the FL side, 150+ acres of protected preserve ensure unspoiled views and total privacy. Whether you’re pitching a tent for a night under the stars or gathering with friends and family for a party/event beneath our 70' pavilion with electricity and water, Blackwater has something for everyone. Swim, fish, paddleboard, kayak, canoe, or launch a jon boat from our launch area. Just minutes away from St. Mary's Shoals "Equipedal" Park for a day of hiking, biking, off-roading, and horseback trails, and our property sits near the edge of the Okefenokee Swamp, the largest freshwater blackwater swamp in North America, making it a unique destination for nature lovers. Frequently Asked Questions: Why is the river black? The water is rich with tannins from the Okefenokee Swamp, giving it a tea-colored appearance that is black in 1ft or more in depth Is the river water safe for swimming? Definitely. The water is clean and free of agricultural runoff, pollutants, and it even possesses natural antibacterial properties! Is the river rough on the feet? No, the property sits on an ancient 10,000+ year old beach dune called "Trail Ridge", featuring soft white quartz sand Does the river smell? Not at all How bad are the bugs? While we recommend bug/tick spray, mosquitoes/flies don’t overrun the property Are there wild animals? Yes, wild animals can make an appearance at any time Is hunting/shooting allowed? No, this is private property. BB guns and archery are okay with adult supervision. Family-friendly? Yes! But please note that there is no lifeguard on duty, so watch children closely, as river currents can be strong at times. *Swim at your own risk* Nearby stores/restaurants? Yes, plenty in Macclenny, FL

Call us bias, but there’s nothing better than small town life. When the "blue roof cottage by the tracks" (yes, it used to have a unique blue roof) hit the market in early 2021, we knew it had to be ours! We purchased it & flipped it into a vacation home for guests of Folkston .. and The Conductor's Corner was born. Because we are also avid RV'ers, we thought what better way to finish off our corner than to add a few first-class RV sites to accommodate the camping community. We hope you enjoy your stay on our corner! In a small town in the south, where the Okefenokee Swamp runs deep and railfans thrive, the Conductor’s Corner stands out. The Conductor’s Corner features 3 premium RV sites directly on the rail lines of the Folkston Funnel. This railfan's dream neighbors the Folkston Railfan Train Platform. The spacious concrete pads are perfect for a night of watching trains under the stars. 20x50 concrete pads with 30/50 amp power, water, sewer, Wifi & picnic tables. A quick 3 minute walk from the Conductor’s Corner will lead to the heart of Main Street where visitors will find a plethora of hidden treasures: coffee shops, boutiques, local eateries, the Train Museum and so much more. Guests could spend a day exploring the habitats and waterways of the Okefenokee Swamp or take a short drive to neighboring communities such as Cumberland Island, Savannah, Golden Isles or Amelia Island or Jacksonville in Florida. All the comforts of home and the utmost southern hospitality are included in your stay on our corner. The Conductor's Corner also includes a vacation cottage available for rent (sleeps 6).
