Looking for a summer destination where you can throw up a tent, hook up an RV and enjoy the great outdoors river side? Branford located on the crystal clear, spring fed Santa Fe River in North Central Florida has it all. You can camp at Ellie Ray's RV Resort & Lounge, riverside and watch the 5ft Sturgeon leap from the water, the manatees families swim by or float the river at Ichetucknee Springs State Park just down the road. Speed boats, pontoons, you name it, it’s on the river.

Branford is located in Ghilchrist County and has been described as "the world's favorite freshwater dive". The diving in Gilchrist County has the potential to expose cave divers to the widest possible array of conditions, including high and low flow, large and small passageways, and silty and silt-free bottoms, with high visibility in the crystal clear water. You can visit all year round with river temperature averaging at 75 degrees year round and the weather sunny and in the 80s!

With bearded cypress trees shooting up from the river bed and a winding river, the views are a must see and the wildlife
will consume you from the singing mockingbirds, to the sunbathing turtles and the deer sneaking in their early morning breakfast. Come see for yourself, you won't be disappointed!

Local Music Favorites, JAMIE DAVIS & WISECRACKERS turn up ELLIE RAY’S BUZZ!

 

Local Music Favorites, JAMIE DAVIS & WISECRACKERS turn up ELLIE RAY’S BUZZ!

This past weekend was crazy busy! Just the way we like it! Friday night we had local Branford favorite, Jamie Davis who is quickly becoming a Statewide known musician. Lucky enough with Jamie only living down the road and his sister, Lisa, bartending for us, playing at Sturges at Ellie Ray’s makes him feel right at home. It was a packed house Friday night as Jamie and his band rocked the outside stage, covering old-time favorites, today’s hits and singing his own original songs. Jamie debut CD, High Reeds & Rust, is one of a kind and can be heard on reverbnation.com. Check him out!

Saturday we had an unique event to Sturges at Ellie Ray’s…Jello Wrestling…it was an event that was highly requested by our lounge customers, although hesitant at first to put such an event on, eventually we were like….oh, what the heck! With three rounds of wrestlers, it turned up quite an audience who partied clear into the night. The band, Wisecrackers, kicked off about nine and their female lead with her solid vocal sound was a fresh change!

The entire weekend had good music! Great energy! And perfect company! We are continuing to see the growth at Ellie Ray’s and thank everyone for their support! It’s been a FUN summer and we still have a few weeks to go….yeeeeehhhaawww!
