Florida Georgia Line River Camp

22 sites · RVs, Tents10 acres · GA
Welcome, y'all, to Blackwater Ranch, where the sun shines bright and the river flows steadily. We're nestled right on the most southern part of Georgia, on the Florida-Georgia line, where the pristine Blackwaters of the Saint Mary’s River meander through the countryside. Conveniently located only 45 minutes from the Southside of Jacksonville and St. Augustine, is only an hour's drive. Blackwater Ranch spans 10 acres and boasts 1300 feet of scenic riverfront, complemented by 2 acres of open field. The rest of the property is woods where the pines sway in the wind and wild blueberries grow everywhere. We cater exclusively to private venue events, tent campers, and small camping trailers, ensuring a peaceful retreat. The property is surrounded by over 150 acres of protected Florida Sanctuary woods, providing a quiet and ultra-private stay. Most guests during their stay see very few people, if any at all, on the grounds and river, so if you're into privacy, you must check us out. Also, no one lives on the property, so you don't have to worry about us bothering you or dogs greeting you when you arrive. Our facilities include an outhouse with lighting and a handwash sink. Additionally, we offer a spacious 70' covered pavilion with electric and water, ideal for gatherings and events, available for reservation upon request. For recreational activities, guests can enjoy our trails around the property, 8' picnic tables perfect for outdoor dining, as well as fishing, kayaking, and swimming in the river with white beach sand under your feet (please be mindful of seasonal and local weather water depth changes 2'-13') and some of the best nighttime stargazing around. We can provide rentals for kayaks, canoes, and a Jon boat, allowing guests to explore the Saint Mary’s River at their leisure. In the evening, gather around our firepit or have your own. Looking ahead, we are committed to enhancing our property with amenities such as hot showers, designated tent sites, and glamping options complete with fire pits and grills. Cabins are also in development. Join us at Blackwater Ranch on FB for a unique outdoor experience. We are dedicated to creating memories for your exploration in a peaceful and relaxing outdoor environment. COMMON QUESTIONS: Why is the river black? Great question! Well, the water is black because it is rich with tannins from the headwaters of the Okefenokee Swamp Wildlife Refuge, the largest blackwater swamp in North America, with its peat-filled freshwater. The water is tea-colored but appears black in water over 1' deep. Another question we get often is whether the river is safe to swim in. Of course, it is! In fact, the water might be one of the best types of water to swim/bathe in, due to the rich tannic acid in the water that kills odor-causing bacteria and mosquito larvae. So go ahead and take a dip and let the river wash away your troubles and worries. Is the river shelly/rocky/rough on the feet? It's honestly the opposite. Our property sits on an ancient oceanfront dune formed over 6,000 thousand years ago called "Trail Ridge". The property has soft white beach sand with very few sticks or branches in the water of the swimming areas. No need for swimming shoes, but feel free to bring them if you wish. Does the river stink or have a sulfur smell? NOPE! The river has no smell if any at all. How are the bugs? As for any wooded forested area, we highly recommend bug/tick spray. The property, in general, is not overrun by mosquitoes or bugs, but please plan accordingly. Are there wild animals on the property? YES, they can make an appearance at any time. Is hunting or firearms allowed? NOT AT ALL. This is a private retreat, not a hunting ground. BB guns are ok with adult supervision. Family Friendly? Yes, it is. We want the whole family to enjoy the great outdoors. PLEASE NOTE! No lifeguard is on duty so please keep a careful eye on your kids as the river current can be strong at times. SWIM AT YOUR OWN RISK! Are there any grocery or restaurants nearby? YES. There is a small county store with gas only a 2-minute drive with the cheapest ICE around, also a Dollar General (5 min drive), a Walmart is only about a 10-minute drive away, and many other options for groceries and local restaurants. IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY: DIAL 911 or go to the Florida Line Police AG Inspection Station (1-minute drive) Hospital at Ed Fraser Memorial "159 N 3rd St, Macclenny, FL 32063" (10 minute drive) Urgent Care at Family Care "9545 FL-228, Macclenny, FL 32063" (10 Minutes)
