Camping near St Marys

·

Anyone who’s got Georgia on their mind will delight in the stunning coastal landscapes while camping near St. Marys. Accessible by a 45-minute ferry ride, Cumberland Island National Seashore is a must-see stop. Bring bikes with wider tires to ride unpaved trails, or cruise the beach between Sea Camp and Dungeness dune crossing. Then, stay at hike-in tent sites that follow Leave No Trace principles. Amenities include fire rings, potable water spigots, and flush toilets. For a more comfortable camping trip on the mainland, head about 20 minutes north of St. Marys to Crooked River State Park. Pull-through RV sites provide full hookups with 30-amp and 50-amp electrical service, comfort stations, and picnic tables. Glamping opportunities await here at a fully-furnished cottage rental, complete with a kitchen, heating, air conditioning, satellite TV, and up to four beds. Wherever base camp is, take advantage of easy access to the river from the on-site boat ramp, or go saltwater fishing for red drum and spotted sea trout.

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).

🌿 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) ✔️ 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?
