Launch directly from the private boat ramp, tie up at the 400-sq-ft floating dock, or explore the surrounding creeks by canoe or kayak.

Campsites are on a small horse farm located just 4 miles from downtown St Augustine and 5 miles from Vilano Beach. Many hiking and water activities within 30 minutes.
You select the space you where you wish to set up camp.
The entrance off the dirt road is tricky for large rigs or trailers more than 35' may not have easy access.
Our sites offer potable water, a shower, picnic tables, a toilet, wifi, trash disposal, space for campfires, and we are pet friendly!
We can accommodate tents, RVs, and trailers.
Our guests love staying here: "Camping at Gayle’s property was an amazing experience. We shared the field with 3 other campers but there was still plenty of room between sites. Land is flat and has fire pit spaces and BBQ grills. Outdoor shower was appreciated even though we didn’t use it & it was great to have the port-o-potty on site. The best part was getting to see the animals!"

🏞️🌲 White Sand. Sunny River Days. Oak & Pine Forest. Two States. Southern Country Vibes
A private riverfront escape just 40 minutes outside Jacksonville, right on the FL-GA line.
🌿 Welcome to Blackwater
Blackwater is a secluded 10+ acre private property on a quiet bend of the St. Marys River, with 150+ acres of protected Florida preserve directly across the river. Located right on the state line at the southernmost edge of Georgia.
We intentionally keep Blackwater small, quiet, and private, with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the river and surrounding woods.
The Florida–Georgia state line runs through the river.
You can literally swim between two states at once. 🌊
🏝️ The White-Sand River Beach
Long before Blackwater was here, this part of Georgia was the ancient coastline. Today, where that old coastline "trail ridge" meets the St. Marys River, you find a soft, white private sandbar along a shallow, clean, refreshing, dark-water river surrounded by native woods.
🌊 The St. Marys River
The St. Marys is a freshwater, rain-fed river flowing from the Okefenokee Swamp.
Naturally occurring tannins from peat give the water its black color, while the shallows are a beautiful golden “sweet tea” color.
🏊 Swim it.
🛶 Paddle it.
🎣 Fish it.
🏕️ The Riverfront Pavilion
Right at the river's edge is our 70' covered pavilion overlooking the river.
It's a place to get out of the sun ☀️, wait out an afternoon rainstorm 🌧️, cook a meal 🍳, play some games 🎲, gather around the fire pit 🔥, or simply sit and watch the river and spot birds as the sun sets.
⚡ Power
💧 Water
💡 Lights
🌀 Fans
🪑 Tables & Chairs
🔥 Grills & Fire Pit
🎲 Games
The pavilion is available for small and large private group camping trips, celebrations, club or troop gatherings, and full-property buyouts.
🔐 Want the Whole Place to Yourself?
Full-property private bookings are available.
Bring your group, spread out, and enjoy Blackwater as your own private river retreat.
For the right group, having the entire property to yourselves changes the experience completely.
Your group, the river, and the woods. 🌊🌲
Do Something. Or Nothing at All.

This was our first Hipcamp experience and the bar has been set pretty high. The location is so beautiful between the water, the huge oaks and the wildlife. It is a nature-lover, fishermen or birdwatchers paradise.
It was great that our dogs could safely roam.
Surprisingly quiet on and off water and friendly neighbors. Great place to kayak (2 kayaks and canoe also provided)
Grocery store / gas station about 15-20 mins away if needed for forgotten necessities, drinking water etc.
We had a little trouble backing out our 21 foot trailer when leaving but are also new to hauling a trailer.
Would definitely return!

We booked the one "partial hookup" site with water and 50/30A. Parking was easy and not more than 100 feet from the river, with a gentle sand slope and easy entry for swimming. We swam in the evening and the morning. The water was cool but not cold. There was a little more than a gentle current, being summer, and being a natural river there were places that were more difficult with branches and steeper banks, but the main swimming spot was really nice. We had the whole property to ourselves. The owner was very responsive by text. T-Mobile connection was strong, even for streaming.

Blackwater Ranch is a real gem of a property. Lots of activities, plenty of space, and tons of easy access to the river, which is the star of the show. One of the unique features of rivers in this area is their white sand beaches and Blackwater Ranch has some of the best I've seen. The river was low when I visited (drought) but I can tell that even when full it is a fairly shallow and slow moving river with multiple spots that stay shallow due to the way the water deposits sand, making it a great river for younger kids. Even the bugs weren't too bad, which being summer in FL/GA was a welcome surprise. The property is equipped with the necessities for a comfortable experience (water, electricity, pit toilet) but still very primitive and rustic.
I camped one night solo but will certainly be back with a group of friends!

Overview
About
Timucuan preserves 6,000 years of human history and one of the last unspoiled coastal areas of the Eastern Seaboard. Much like salt marshes giving way to sand dunes, cultures clashed here as Europeans entered the New World.
Drooping trees with Spanish moss give way to wavy grass with intermittent ribbons of water. The tides change the water level, which makes kayaking here an adventure. Bring your own craft or rent boats from nearby outfitters. Motorboats let you breeze through watery inlets. Kayaks offer a more leisurely pace. Don't forget a camera to take photos of cranes dipping their long beaks into the water. Cedar Point is the main boat ramp for the park. You can dock your boat and start hiking here.
On land, you might see foxes strolling about looking for a meal or sunning themselves. Continue your nature tour at the Theodore Roosevelt Area. This 600-acre preserve mixes hardwood forest, wetlands, and scrub vegetation common with sandy areas. Kingsley Plantation gives you a view of plantation life in the 1800s.
American Beach has a large sand dune that protects the inland waterways. This is a resort area and is somewhat developed. This historic area shows a contrast in ideals. While American Beach allowed African-Americans a place to romp in the surf, it was a segregated beach until 1964. Now, anyone can enjoy the warm waters.
Campsites put you in touch with this scenic powerhouse. Coastal areas here and to the north showcase unspoiled lands and waterways. If you want modern comforts, check out Jacksonville to the south.
