The term “off-the-grid” can mean a lot of things to different people. For some, it’s living without things like WiFi, electricity, and the like. For others, it just means disconnecting from day-to-day life in order to enjoy more of what Mother Nature has to offer. We’re using the latter option in order to showcase this beautiful off-the-grid living town in Florida. Astor, Florida offers a treasure trove of natural beauty for anyone who visits. See for yourself why this town is considered one of the best river towns around.

With a population of fewer than 2,000 residents, Astor is an unincorporated village that crosses the St. Johns River. This incredible town is bursting with natural wonderment, which makes it perfect for off-the-grid living.

One of the main reasons this small town is one of the best off-the-grid spots in the state is because of the historic fish camps that pepper the water.
