Welcome to Blackwater Ranch, nestled on the Florida-Georgia line, where the sun shines bright and the Blackwater of the Saint Mary’s River meanders through the countryside. Located just 35 minutes from Jacksonville and an hour from St. Augustine, this serene retreat spans 10 acres, featuring 1300 feet of riverfront and 2 acres of open field, with the rest covered in woods. We specialize in private venue events, tent camping, and small trailers, ensuring a peaceful escape. Our property is surrounded by 150+ acres of protected preserve, offering guests complete privacy. Ideal for camping and events, a spacious 70' open-air barn with electricity and water, a outhouse-style restroom with lighting, and a handwash sink. Guests can enjoy trails, picnic tables, fishing, kayaking, swimming in the river with white beach sand, and some night stargazing. Looking forward, we plan to add hot showers, glamping options, and cabins. Join us on Facebook for a unique outdoor experience. We are dedicated to creating family memories in a peaceful, relaxing environment. 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 looks black in deeper areas. Is the river safe for swimming? Absolutely! The water has no agricultural runoff or pollutants. Is the river rocky or rough on the feet? No, the property is on an ancient 8,000+ year-old dune featuring soft white beach sand, perfect on the feet. Does the river smell? No, it has little to no odor. 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 a private retreat. BB guns and archery are okay with adult supervision only. Family-friendly? Yes! But please note that there is no lifeguard on duty, so watch children closely, as river currents can sometimes be strong. *Swim at your own risk* Are there stores/restaurants nearby? Yes, a small country store is only 2 minutes away, along with Dollar General (5 minutes), Walmart (10 minutes), and plenty of local restaurants in Macclenny. Things to do? Fishing, Swimming, Padding, Biking, Cornhole, Trampoline & more!

It was a very beautiful property. It would be great for small get-together. The driveway is really steep, but is plenty accessible. All in all would recommend to anyone me and my family had a great time.

Covered Pavilion Tent Camping
Great setup.
Loved staying at this place and M made us feel right at home the pavilion was very clean and there was fun music playing on the radio when we pulled in. We appreciated camping out of the rain after 2 days of wet camping in Florida. Having power and a hose next to the pavilion made it all the better. Also enjoyed all the toys like kayak, frisbees, soccer balls. Nice property to explore.

Covered Pavilion Tent Camping
Fantastic hideaway on FL-GA line
My family loved tent camping at this site. The St. Mary's River wraps around the property so you have river views from every corner. We enjoyed all the activities: campfire, kayak, fishing, naps on the beach sand. It was all wonderful. The owners created thoughtful touches around the property including lights, fans, and spare camp chairs under the pavilion, a kayak to take out, and a built-in port a potty structure with side sink and soap. Land is easy to access based on owner directions and in a great area if you need to leave camp to get necessities. We will definitely be back!
