Blackwater Ranch

Absolutely love this place it’s such an amazing property!! I’m a nature lover and this spot has so many cool plants and history! This place is definitely a hidden gem and isn’t even far from Jacksonville that’s the best part! If you haven’t been here yet you have to come check it out the vibes and amount of different areas you can hangout and checkout is so cool! Perfect spot for launching your kayak or just hanging out in the water. The white sandy beaches go around most of the property and it’s so cool how the layout is! The property is so big you can literally hike and explore around it and have a great time and tire yourself out! The pavilion is super big and nice and makes you have a nice spot to get out of the weather just in case and can fit tons of activities and things to do! Ther

Went camping here and it was a nice quiet experience. The hiking trail circles the property and it feels like quite the Hike but you never really are too far from camp. Great design! They had 120v electricity for convenient charging for my Tesla. I 💯 will be coming back.

If I could give this place more than five stars I would. But in the world of Google five stars represents perfect perfection and I must say this place is one of the best hidden gems I have ever found and kind of don’t want to tell anybody about it so I can have it all to myself but it’s just too beautiful to not share! The owner has a very everything in its place, Fire pits, chairs, tables, huge pavilion absolutely beautiful, cooking grills, gas stoves, even a “country boy” style hottub! The water that runs through the property offers such tranquility as you know these waters travel along way and many eyes have gazed upon them and wonder. We did 10 camping, 10 of us and I could go on and on about how much fun everyone of us had! We even got to see snow. And thank goodness for all the f

A HIDDEN GEM! It’s an annual tradition for us to go camping every Memorial Day for our anniversary but had no luck finding a campsite. The place we originally planned on doesn’t do tent camping anymore, which we sadly found out after we already packed up the whole car. A quick google search showed us this place and on a whim we headed over. We spoke to the owner who is incredibly awesome, and he let us book a stay for the night. He answered all our questions, and gave us the history of the land. We’ve been camping for 4 years and this was hands down the best experience yet. We camped right by the water, the site had electricity, running water, picnic tables, and a campfire. This is such an amazing property, we walked around and found wild blueberries, and seen a baby deer too. This easily

We had our baby shower party here last weekend, we enjoyed the place so much. The pavilion gave us a lot of space to set up, and the kids enjoyed a lot of space to play on the surrounding yard. This place is great for outdoor activities such as camping and fishing as it is surrounded by a river. It is also fully equipped with a working toilet and washroom. So all in all it's a great place for a retreat and just enjoy nature.
