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, Y’all Just 40 minutes outside Jacksonville, Blackwater is a secluded 10+ acre private riverfront property tucked along Georgia’s southernmost tip, right on the FL–GA line. Set along a quiet bend of the St. Marys River and backed by 150+ acres of protected Florida land, Blackwater offers real privacy, open space, and true “Old Florida” country vibes. 🌊 The River: 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—perfect for swimming ✔️ Soft white sandy 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! 🏝️ History Beneath Your Feet: Blackwater sits on Trail Ridge, a prehistoric coastal dune formed over a million years ago, once the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Today, that elevated sand ridge meets the river, creating a rare natural swimming area and a private white sugar-sandbar beach along the river. 🏕️ Perfect For: • Family camping • Small & large groups • Private celebrations • Weddings • Family reunions • Overlanding & vanlife At the heart of the property to rent is a 70-ft covered riverfront pavilion with power and water hookups, a custom private fire pit w/ river views, grills, a place to cook, relax, play yard games, and gather in the shade with the river in view. 🏞️ The Experience: 🛶 Kayaking & paddling 🏊 Swimming 🔥 Firepits & grills 🎣 Fishing 🚗 Easy drive-in access 🌌 Stargazing 🥾 Trails & light exploring 🐦 Birdwatching 🐕 Dog-friendly (FREE) 📶 Limited cell service (a chance to unplug) 🧭 Nearby: 📍 Minutes from St. Marys Shoals Park 📍 Close to Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge This is real Southern country—not a resort. You may hear distant road noise, dogs, coyotes, roosters, wild turkeys, and the occasional far-off hunter. Because this is private land, not a public campground, availability is limited, and weekends fill fast. Want even more privacy? If you want it quieter and even more private, booking a weekday campsite is your best bet. Also, we allow entire property bookings so it’s just your group.

Our campground  was founded in 1980 on a family owned estate established in the mid 1800. We are just a short drive off of I-95 in Coastal Ga, near Brunswick,Ga; only minutes from the beaches of the Golden Isles of Ga, Okefenokee Swamp Park and Northeast Fl. Our large campsites will never leave you with concerns about invading the space neighboring campers. Many of our guest are content with watching the river roll by without hearing the noise of automobiles or emergency vehicles. Other guess spend there days fishing, boating or listening to birds chirping.

🌿 Welcome to Blackwater, Y’all Just 40 minutes outside Jacksonville, Blackwater is a secluded 10+ acre private riverfront property tucked along Georgia’s southernmost tip, right on the FL–GA line. Set along a quiet bend of the St. Marys River and backed by 150+ acres of protected Florida land, Blackwater offers real privacy, open space, and true “Old Florida” country vibes. 🌊 The River: 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—perfect for swimming ✔️ Soft white sandy 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! 🏝️ History Beneath Your Feet: Blackwater sits on Trail Ridge, a prehistoric coastal dune formed over a million years ago, once the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Today, that elevated sand ridge meets the river, creating a rare natural swimming area and a private white sugar-sandbar beach along the river. 🏕️ Perfect For: • Family camping • Small & large groups • Private celebrations • Weddings • Family reunions • Overlanding & vanlife At the heart of the property to rent is a 70-ft covered riverfront pavilion with power and water hookups, a custom private fire pit w/ river views, grills, a place to cook, relax, play yard games, and gather in the shade with the river in view. 🏞️ The Experience: 🛶 Kayaking & paddling 🏊 Swimming 🔥 Firepits & grills 🎣 Fishing 🚗 Easy drive-in access 🌌 Stargazing 🥾 Trails & light exploring 🐦 Birdwatching 🐕 Dog-friendly (FREE) 📶 Limited cell service (a chance to unplug) 🧭 Nearby: 📍 Minutes from St. Marys Shoals Park 📍 Close to Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge This is real Southern country—not a resort. You may hear distant road noise, dogs, coyotes, roosters, wild turkeys, and the occasional far-off hunter. Because this is private land, not a public campground, availability is limited, and weekends fill fast. Want even more privacy? If you want it quieter and even more private, booking a weekday campsite is your best bet. Also, we allow entire property bookings so it’s just your group.
