43mi from St Marys · 13 sites · Tents, RVs
🌿 Welcome to Blackwater, y’all Just 35 minutes from Jacksonville, Blackwater is a secluded 10+ acre private riverfront property at Georgia’s southernmost edge right on the Florida-Georgia Line. Surrounded by protected woodland and a sweeping river bend, it offers space, quiet, and a true escape from crowded camps. Your view looks straight into Florida, across 150+ acres of undeveloped preserve, giving the property a peaceful, remote feel while remaining easy to access. 📸 Yes, you can swim or stand in two states at once for that perfect Instagram photo Situated on the St. Marys River, a rain-fed freshwater river flowing from the Okefenokee Swamp. Natural tannins from peat give the water its famous sweet-tea color, which appears darker in deeper sections and clearer along the shore. ✔️ Clean and safe for swimming ✔️ Naturally antibacterial ✔️ No pollutants or runoff ✔️ No smell, mud, or rocks ✔️ Soft white sugar-sand bottom The property sits on an ancient 10,000+ year-old beach dune (Trail Ridge), creating one of the best natural swimming spots for cooling off on hot summer days. 🌱 Rare Southern Ecosystem: Blackwater sits where river, ancient sea dune, hardwood forest, pine uplands, and cypress wetland all meet. Southern live oaks, saw palmettos, wax myrtle, and wild huckleberry-blueberries fill the landscape, an ecosystem rarely found on a single property. 🏕️ Camping, Families, and Groups: Well-spaced sites across open wooded areas provide room to spread out without the packed feel of state parks. Ideal for tent camping, vanlife, RVs, families, and small or large group gatherings. A 70-foot covered riverfront pavilion with electricity, water, hammocks, and a firepit overlooks the water, perfect for meals, shade, and gathering out of the summer rainstorms. 🔎 Quick Camp Details: 🏕️ Spacious sites on a 10+ acre property 🚗 Easy vehicle access 🔥 Firepits and grills throughout 🌌 Dark, quiet nights for stargazing 🐕 Dog-friendly - FREE 📶 Cell service is spotty (great for unplugging) 🚣 Things To Do: Swim • Fish • Kayak • Canoe • Paddleboard 📍 Minutes from St. Marys Shoals Equipedal Park 📍 Close to Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge (Okefenokee Adventures) Peaceful, scenic, unforgettable, secluded riverfront camping near Jax!
