Bus Chain Gang at Convict Springs 1/23-25, Mayo Florida

Post by steve74baywin » Sat Nov 22, 2008 7:58 am

This will be the 5th annual Bus Chain Gang at Convict Springs where VW bus owners of all years come out to camp, socialize and enjoy nature.
There is no schedule, perhaps only one agenda and that is to enjoy yourself and have fun.


The phone number for the campground, "The River Rendezvous at Convict Springs" is 386-294-2510. It is not necessary but always a good idea to book in advance.

Compliments of the Paralounge
"Do Not !!!! Mapquest the River Rendezvous. It will lead you to the other side of the river!

Traveling north on I-75. You will be a little north of Gainesville when you will take the US 441 exit, Exit 399, toward Alachua, High Springs. Proceed onto Highway 27 in High Springs and follow it all the way to the River Rendezvous. The River Rendezvous is 13 miles past the town of Branford, on the right. You will turn right at the River Rendezvous sign and it will be about three miles back.

Traveling South I-75: Take exit 451 toward Live Oak going south 129.Go South 129 all the way through Live Oak and all the way to Branford. 129 will end at Highway 27 in Branford. Turn right, take highway 27 for thirteen miles and you will see on your right, a sign for the River Rendezvous. Turn right and follow that road about three miles and you will proceed onto a dirt road that leads to the campground.

Traveling East and West I-10; Exit 283 Live Oak, Jasper. Go South 129 all the way through Live Oak and all the way to Branford. 129 will end at Highway 27 in Branford. Turn right, take highway 27 for thirteen miles and you will see on your right, a sign for the River Rendezvous. Turn right and follow that road about three miles and you will proceed onto a dirt road that leads to the campground.
