The Three Stooges, George Hamilton, Gene Autry, Alabama, Elvis, basically everyone performed there. It was a really cool old campground, and I will be back. The people there treated me so well. I truly enjoyed it. It is old, and not a place one might choose when planning, but it was a gem for me.
Wow, pretty amazing campground. Didn't know Minnie Pearl performed as a teenager. I hope they had doctors on hand for the 3 Stooges--imagine all the kids with nose bleeds & eye pokes after trying to imitate the stunts!

On bike tours I like to plan things but on car trips etc have seen some interesting stuff just by wandering around.
