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!"

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 the St. Mary’s River. Here, the days feel longer, the countryside invites you to slow down, relax, and explore. Just 35 minutes from Jacksonville and an hour from St. Augustine, this peaceful compound boasts more than 1,300+ feet of pristine riverfront. Over two 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 land ensure unspoiled views and total privacy. Whether you’re pitching a tent for a night under the stars or gathering 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 in the river. Just minutes away from St. Mary's Shoals "Equipedal" Park for a day of hiking, off-roading, and horseback trails, and our property sits near the edge of the Okefenokee Swamp, the largest 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 free from agricultural runoff, pollutants, and silt, 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* Are there stores/restaurants nearby? Yes, plenty!

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).

Weekend Trip to Florida Georgia Line River Camp
Stayed 2 nights. Camping with tents. At the time of this review, there was a drought, so the river was extremely low. Property was very well kept, clean, and a great central location if you don’t want to be too far away from everything. Hopefully next time the rain has raised the river so we could do the full runs, up and down stream. The water was nice and cool, great for the warmer days we had in November. We will definitely be returning. Great site.

Brian’s property was a great spot for us! He greeted us and lead us to our spot and then we found out his wife Phyllis bakes muffins and cookies so we bought some muffins for breakfast. They were delicious! We had a problem with our RV not starting on the morning we were supposed to leave and Brian was extremely helpful in giving us assistance with finding a mechanic that could help us. Brian even towed our bus to the repair shop with his tractor! We were very grateful and would definitely recommend this property because of its safe location and the wonderful people who own it. Great Hipcamp experience!

Corner key was a nice place to stay while we were passing through St.Augustine. It is a nice and quiet, well maintained with nice landscaping. We enjoyed meeting up down town with the family and exploring. Then getting away from the hustle and bustle to this tranquil hideaway.

This camping site was absolutely phenomenal! The hosts were so warm and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. It was my first time coming with my puppy, and they were incredibly supportive and understanding. The place was spotless — we ran, played, and most importantly, felt completely safe the entire time. I totally recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and pet-friendly getaway!

This is a great place for children and rv camping. Lots of toys, cars, and trucks for the kids to play with. The St. Mary's river borders the property and is accessible for wading, swimming, and fishing. The property itself is very nice with some secluded spots if you want to do some primitive tent camping. There are port-o-let style toilets with a sink and access to potable water.

The best camping in Timucuan Ecological & Historic Preserve, FL guide

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.
