The Great Melanated Salt Springs Retreat

Disconnect and dive in! Join a tight-knit melanated community for a soulful weekend of primitive camping beside Salt Springs’ soothing 72°F mineral waters. Spend three days unplugged—snorkeling, floating, paddling, hiking winding trails, and roasting stories around the campfire.

What You’ll Experience

• Shaded tent-only sites: primitive pitches, no hookups, just forest canopy and camaraderie - no worries though, we have a generator for power, and water is readily available.
• Spring-fed immersion: Snorkel crystal-clear waters packed with bass, turtles & blue crabs
• Waterway adventures: Chill in the cool 72°F mineral waters by float or paddle
• Forest trails: Explore the 1.9-mile Observation Trail and Bear Swamp Trail—ideal for reflection and wildlife spotting
• Off-grid amenities: Vault toilets, water stations, fire rings—and simple walk-ins with no cell coverage
• Local conveniences: Gas, grocery, bait & tackle shops, and a laundromat a short drive away

Why Join?

• Community & connection: Step into a space rooted in Black nature healing and discovery
• Deep nature immersion: No distractions—just forest, water, fire, and fellowship
• Balanced freedom: Structured enough to foster bonding, open enough for personal exploration
