🌿 #Vanlife Welcome to Blackwater, y’all! Just 40 minutes outside Jacksonville and 12 mins off i10, Blackwater is a secluded 10+ acre private riverfront venue/campground at Georgia’s southernmost tip right on the Florida-Georgia Line! Surrounded by protected preserve and a river bend, our property offers "old Florida" vibes, nature, country, a true escape into nature from crowded camps if you seek privacy. The views across the river are of Florida, with 150+ acres of preserve, giving the property a peaceful and remote feel while remaining close to town for all essentials. Situated on the St. Marys River, a rain-fed river flowing from the Okefenokee Swamp. Natural tannins from peat give the water its famous sweet-tea color, which appears black in deeper water and "sweet-tea" in the shallows. ✔️ Clean, refreshing, and safe for swimming (no gators!) ✔️ Naturally antibacterial ✔️ No pollutants or runoff ✔️ No smell, mud, or rocks ✔️ Soft white sugar-sand bottom The property sits on an ancient 10,000+ year-old beach dune (Trail Ridge), creating a unique natural sugar-sand beach area and swimming spot perfect for cooling off on hot summer days. 🌱 Rare Southern Ecosystem: Blackwater sits where river, ancient shoreline, hardwood forest, pine uplands, and cypress wetlands all meet. Southern oaks, saw palmettos, wax myrtle, and wild huckleberry-blueberries fill the landscape, an ecosystem rarely found on a single property. 🏕️ HH Sites 1 & 2 We currently offer two wooded parking campervan (25' max) campsites marked HH1 and HH2. 1st come gets 1st pick.
