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! 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, unplug, and explore. Just 35 minutes from Jacksonville and an hour from St. Augustine, this peaceful compound boasts more than 1,300+ feet of 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 with 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!

We are just a small 12 acre property working towards being a self-sustaining homestead. We have power and water at the barn where you can park your travel trailer or larger RV. While you're here we're very happy to share our lovely farm animals with you. Never held a chicken before? You can here! Want to pet a goat or hold a goat kid? We're happy to let you do so. I'm not sure the ducks or geese will let you hold or pet them, but you can certainly watch them swim and quack throughout the day. Want to sit on the dock of the bay? Well, we don't have a bay, but we do have a pond with a dock where you can do some fishing or just enjoy the feel of the sun on your face and the sounds of the birds chirping. There's also a really nice park across the street where you can see a waterfall. Yes a waterfall in Florida. It's small but beautiful and there's some trails where you can walk around the park and enjoy all the beauty mother nature has to offer. Learn more about this land: Whether you're looking for an overnight spot or a place to camp for several days, our little spot is conveniently located less than a mile off of I10, exit 301. You'll be privately tucked into a quiet corner of our property where you have a walking trail and full access to our stocked pond for fishing or just hanging out. There's a little Columbia County Park co-managed with Suwannee River Water Management District across the street. The park has a boardwalk that takes you out to view the waterfall, picnic tables, a playground and a historic church.

There are many Springs along the over 240 miles of River as it empties into the Gulf of Mexico. The Suwannee River begins it's journey in the Okefenokee Swamp in South Georgia.

A pet friendly, off leash, dark skies 6 acre slice of paradise in North Florida on the banks of the Suwannee River. In 1990 the State of Florida banned logging within 1,000 feet of the Suwannee River so Southeast Timberlands sold off it's holdings and we were lucky enough to purchase 6 acres and 444 feet of riverfront. A designated "Pristine Scenic Waterway" with very steep banks, the Suwannee is one of the few"wild" rivers left in the United States and can rise over 30 feet to flood stage almost overnight; yet due to its unique topography we can access it no matter how high or low the water. The Forest Service has bought up the surrounding lots, creating a 10 mile Conservation corridor supporting the National Scenic Florida Trail, it's clearly marked footpaths and natural attractions. To that end, we have left the old growth upland forest the way we found it. The campsite is a natural feature as is the Zen deck and canoe launch, a swale draining the ridge. The campsite is level, the lane to the river slopes gently dropping in elevation 20 feet over 1,000 in making it easy for able bodied guests to navigate their way to the white sugar sand beach. We want to share our retreat with those who are looking for a real wilderness experience in an exclusive private setting. A Waiver of Liability is required by all guests as the Wilderness is an inherently dangerous place. We only offer one accommodation per weekend with a maximum of 8 people, because we only have 1 toilet, so our guests can have the seclusion they desire and be free to enjoy the natural wonder of the woodland experience in any manner they choose.

Janet was so easy to work with! This spot has everything you need and Janet and Jerry made everything all ready with firewood and all! The river is a nice short walk and we really enjoyed fishing and playing in the water. We absolutely loved this spot, we felt so secluded and safe. Our young boys and dogs had so much fun running around. The horseshoes were so fun and the sleeping porch was amazing to have the extra sleeping space. Hope we can have the chance to stay longer and explore more of the beautiful Suwannee River next time!

One of the BEST sites I’ve found through Hipcamp!!!! There was no shortage of things to do on the property itself, but as other reviews have mentioned, there are plenty of nature activities all within short driving distance. Host was great, facilities had everything I needed and in working order. I will definitely be back.

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.

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.

Very nice space! Large enough to make you feel like you have privacy on a super cute piece of land tucked far off the road. Love the fact there are toilets, power options, & water. We booked a tent electric space but ended up in an rv space by mistake… but were happy for the mix up as we had access to a water spigot. We had no idea they were hosting a football game watch that night, or having live music, but even still it wasn’t too loud so we weren’t bothered by it. Would recommend for a quick, convenient getaway.

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).

35mi from Stephen C. Foster State Park · 13 sites · Tents, RVs · GA
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, unplug, and explore. Just 35 minutes from Jacksonville and an hour from St. Augustine, this peaceful compound boasts more than 1,300+ feet of 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 with 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!

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.

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.

We are just a small 12 acre property working towards being a self-sustaining homestead. We have power and water at the barn where you can park your travel trailer or larger RV. While you're here we're very happy to share our lovely farm animals with you. Never held a chicken before? You can here! Want to pet a goat or hold a goat kid? We're happy to let you do so. I'm not sure the ducks or geese will let you hold or pet them, but you can certainly watch them swim and quack throughout the day. Want to sit on the dock of the bay? Well, we don't have a bay, but we do have a pond with a dock where you can do some fishing or just enjoy the feel of the sun on your face and the sounds of the birds chirping. There's also a really nice park across the street where you can see a waterfall. Yes a waterfall in Florida. It's small but beautiful and there's some trails where you can walk around the park and enjoy all the beauty mother nature has to offer. Learn more about this land: Whether you're looking for an overnight spot or a place to camp for several days, our little spot is conveniently located less than a mile off of I10, exit 301. You'll be privately tucked into a quiet corner of our property where you have a walking trail and full access to our stocked pond for fishing or just hanging out. There's a little Columbia County Park co-managed with Suwannee River Water Management District across the street. The park has a boardwalk that takes you out to view the waterfall, picnic tables, a playground and a historic church.

There is soo much history about the Suwannee River in North Florida! :D It is known that Indians once traveled along these banks and proof has been found from many Arrow Heads and other artifacts being found along the Suwannee River. There are many Springs along the over 240 miles of River as it empties into the Gulf of Mexico. The Suwannee River begins it's journey in the Okefenokee Swamp in South Georgia. This is also where the Suwannee River gets it's tannic color from the decaying vegetation in the swamp. More about the Suwannee River can be found at: MySuwanneeRiver.com

44mi from Stephen C. Foster State Park · 8 sites · Tents, RVs · White Springs, FL
A pet friendly, off leash, dark skies 6 acre slice of paradise in North Florida on the banks of the Suwannee River. In 1990 the State of Florida banned logging within 1,000 feet of the Suwannee River so Southeast Timberlands sold off it's holdings and we were lucky enough to purchase 6 acres and 444 feet of riverfront. A designated "Pristine Scenic Waterway" with very steep banks, the Suwannee is one of the few"wild" rivers left in the United States and can rise over 30 feet to flood stage almost overnight; yet due to its unique topography we can access it no matter how high or low the water. The Forest Service has bought up the surrounding lots, creating a 10 mile Conservation corridor supporting the National Scenic Florida Trail, it's clearly marked footpaths and natural attractions. To that end, we have left the old growth upland forest the way we found it. The campsite is a natural feature as is the Zen deck and canoe launch, a swale draining the ridge. The campsite is level, the lane to the river slopes gently dropping in elevation 20 feet over 1,000 in making it easy for able bodied guests to navigate their way to the white sugar sand beach. We want to share our retreat with those who are looking for a real wilderness experience in an exclusive private setting. A Waiver of Liability is required by all guests as the Wilderness is an inherently dangerous place. We only offer one accommodation per weekend with a maximum of 8 people, because we only have 1 toilet, so our guests can have the seclusion they desire and be free to enjoy the natural wonder of the woodland experience in any manner they choose.

The best camping in Stephen C. Foster State Park, GA guide

Overview

About

Did you know that Georgia has its own seven natural wonders? We didn’t either, but the legendary Okefenokee is one of them, and Stephen C. Foster State Park is Okefenokee’s primary entrance. Paddlers and photographers will enjoy weaving in and around the cypress trees, amid lush spanish moss and glassy black water, and these wild and rugged swamps contain a plentitude of wildlife, including black bear, raccoons, deer, ibis, herons, wood storks, gators (an estimated 12,000), and songbirds.

Rental boats, kayaks, and canoes are available, along with guided tours. After a day of wild excitement, you,ll be happy knowing you don’t have to go anywhere. Pitch your tent at one the spacious campsites, rent a cottage with full amenities, or stay at the Suwannee River Eco-Lodge. It doesn’t matter how you spend your nights as long as you make the trek to Stephen C. Foster State Park.

Notable campgrounds

  • Tent, Trailer & RV Campsites: Immerse yourself in nature at one of the 63 campsites, offering a mix of comfort and wilderness.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early, as spots fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons and weekends.
  • Check for cancellations regularly, as plans change and spots may open up unexpectedly.
  • Consider visiting during weekdays for better availability and a quieter stay.
  • Explore nearby camping options if the park is fully booked, as the surrounding area offers additional opportunities.

When to go

Summer brings heat, humidity, and insects, which can be challenging for some visitors. Plan your trip around the new moon for the most stunning dark sky experiences.

Know before you go

  • Check gate closing times; the park locks at 10pm, ensuring you arrive beforehand.
  • Remember, a $5 refuge fee is charged upon entry to support conservation efforts.
  • Prepare for your visit by checking water levels, as boating activities are dependent on them.
  • For a safe wildlife viewing experience, keep a respectful distance from the park's alligators and other inhabitants.
