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).

🏞️🌲 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 in Georgia. We intentionally keep Blackwater small, quiet, and private, with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the river and surrounding woods. And there's something pretty unusual about this place: The Florida–Georgia state line runs right 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 coastal "trail ridge" meets the St. Marys River, you find a soft white private sandbar along a shallow, clean, refreshing, dark blackwater 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 in the Okefenokee give the deeper water its black color, while the shallows turn 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, 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. 🌲 Your Weekend at Blackwater 🏊 Swim and wade 🛶 Paddle and/or kayak 🎣 River and pond fishing 🥾 Explore our easy walking trails 🐦 Birdwatching 🔥 S’mores and stories around the campfire 🌌 Stargaze under dark skies 🎯 Archery/BB gun practice (we only supply the backstop) 📶 Cell service is limited — a chance to unplug 🦃 Free-ranging friendly turkeys and chickens roam the property 🐕 Dogs are welcome— FREE. 🧭 Want to explore more? 📍 St. Marys Shoals Park — just minutes away 📍 Okefenokee Swamp National Wildlife Refuge — access through Okefenokee Adventures 🌅 Come slow down. 🌿 Welcome to Blackwater, y'all.

4 nights at Destination Sunset

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!

Enjoyed my stay. It was a quick overnight passing through. Nice quiet, clean spot to land. Communication was stellar and camp host, Kathy , was wonderful. I believe I actually stayed at site two which was a nice pull through with a great view. Kathy switched me up since it was available. I had a nice walk about and dipped my feet into the river at the boat ramp. Cool dark water. Loved it!

1 night at Blackwater Ranch - River Camping

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.

1 night at Blackwater Ranch - River Camping

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!
