Welcome to Blackwater Ranch, nestled on the Florida-Georgia line, where the sun shines bright and the Blackwater of the Saint Mary’s River meanders through the countryside. Located just 35 minutes from Jacksonville and an hour from St. Augustine, this serene compound spans 10 acres, featuring 1300 feet of riverfront and 2 acres of open field, with the rest covered in native woods. We specialize in private venue events and primitive tent camping, offering a peaceful retreat into nature. Our property is surrounded by 150+ acres of protected preserve, offering guests complete privacy. We have a spacious 70' open-air barn with electricity and water, an outhouse-style restroom with lighting, and a handwash sink. Guests can enjoy untouched nature, fishing, paddling, walking trails, grilling, disc golf, firepits, swimming, or just lounging. Looking forward, we plan to add hot showers, glamping options, and cabins. Join us on Facebook for a unique outdoor experience. We are dedicated to creating family memories in a peaceful, relaxing environment. 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 over 1ft in depth Is the river water safe for swimming? Definitely! The water is free from agricultural runoff and pollutants, and it even has natural antibacterial properties Is the river rough on the feet? No, the property sits on an ancient 8,000+ year old sand dune called Trail Ridge, with soft white beach 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* Are there stores/restaurants nearby? Yes, a small country store only 2 minutes away, along with Dollar General (6 minutes), Walmart (10 minutes), and plenty of local restaurants in Macclenny. Things to do? Fishing, Swimming, Paddling, Walking Trails, More!

What a cool place this is to camp. Riverside canoe/kayak access, multiple fire pits, swings, and all sorts of fun stuff to play with. Easy to find, very hospitable hosts. We will definitely be back.

RV "50A Partial Hookup"
Absolutely stunning property with private access to the St. Mary River. 50 amp hookup was great, outhouse was well kept and there were plenty of activities to do on-site.
