Black Creek Ravines Conservation Area holds this single walk-in campsite, managed by the St. Johns River Water Management District and reachable only after a roughly 2.4-mile hike. The site sits about 30 feet from the river, with a fire ring, grill grate, and two wooden tables on-site. No restrooms are provided, and river water requires purification. Campers report deer and birds along the trail, though boat and jet ski traffic on the water can be audible, and a nearby toll road generates noise after dark. Bring a water filter and plan for a self-sufficient stay, as what you carry in is all you have. Those exploring campgrounds near Middleburg will find this one among the more remote options in the area.
Description
Trail Guide: https://www.sjrwmd.com/static/lands/trailguides/blackcreekravinestrail.pdf St. Johns River Water Management District lands are natural, wild and scenic places. While camping on district lands, you may have an opportunity to see various wildlife, sit under the stars, listen to a soft evening breeze rustling tree leaves and experience Florida much as some of the earliest settlers did. However, be prepared to rough it. Only primitive tent camping is allowed on district lands and only at designated locations. No travel trailers, campers or RVs are allowed. Most properties offer no amenities such as rentals, restrooms, potable water or shelters. Many of the campsites are in remote areas and can be reached only by hiking, bicycling, boating or horseback riding. Campers should use the designated campfire rings for fires and should carry out all garbage with them when they leave. Check the notices section of this website for updates on any current burn bans. First come/first serve and reservable camping sites are available at most district properties. Reservable campsites require a reservation and permit from the district. Campers must make a reservation at least 24 hours in advance. All camping is limited to a maximum of seven days per visit and you may camp no more than 30 days on a property per year.
