Family owned and operated since 1853. Jewel’s sink has been a special place that the Blanton family has swam and celebrated things at for 5 generations. It’s a slice of paradise hidden away from the hardships of society’s rat race. You can see to the bottom when the sun hits the water at the right time of day. It’s crystal clear blue like the springs that feed the rivers. This is truly a foundation of youth!

Jewel’s Sink

Michael’s property is an absolute slice of heaven. My partner, our dog, and I came here to unplug and recharge, and it delivered exactly what we needed. The property is stunning, with a peaceful seclusion that feels rare these days. The springs were crystal-clear and refreshing, giving off that magical “Old Florida” vibe, and the open grassland was perfect for letting our dog run and play. We’re so grateful to Michael for sharing this little oasis and for keeping it so natural and untouched. We loved every second of our stay and would highly recommend it—just make sure you have a self-sufficient setup since there are no facilities on-site. Can’t wait to come back!

Fun at the Sink!

Really cool spot with an awesome hole in the earth! Land was nice and private and the sink was really fun to climb down into. Water was nice and clear and a refreshing dip! Will definitely come back here again.

It was a privilege to camp at Jewel's Sink. I am grateful to the host for protecting and preserving this geological treasure. It was a relaxing and recharging weekend and the host was so wonderful. Thank you, Michael!

Jewel Sink is a Jewel indeed!

A very beautiful place indeed. I never seen anyone after I met with owner upon arrival. Very private! 🤪 I would recommend to anyone seeking solitude and privacy in an "enchanted forest" kinda way. The path down to the water requires using the attached rope, because the rocks are steep and sharp. Be careful going down to the water. Excellent for doggies too, just would not recommend taking them down the steep rocks. I drove in with a Dodge dually with a slide in pop up truck camper, and it was no issue. I would not want to put through the trees with a bigger Class C. Class A would not work very well at all currently. The water was a little low and not moving too much, but I'm not a big swimmer anyways. It did not affect me at all. Overall, a beautiful place to get away and write, relax and just get your soul together! Anyhow, I will be going back again soon. I loved it there. 🙂

Such a cool spot! Definitely worth the visit if you're a lover of Florida springs, it's a very unique experience. We loved having a fire down in the sink. It's so funny that this is right next to highway 27, you really never know what cool natural wonders are hidden just out of view as you drive down the road.
