On our way north to Michigan, we thought Renfro Valley, KY, would be a convenient base for a couple of days. The RV Campground is very convenient to the interstate and from all we read it was quite the "happening" place. Although the Renfro Valley Entertainment Center is known as "Kentucky's Country Music Capital", it doesn't happen from Sunday to Tuesday. Guess what days we're staying there?! We noticed the area was not very crowded and the story we got was that the original owners passed away within a year of each other, and it took a while for their only daughter to decide whether to continue the business her parents started. As a result of a slow economy, the music entertainment business has suffered as well. Although there are about 114 total RV sites, we saw less than 20 RV's since we arrived. It appealed to us because they advertised live Country Music shows, unique shopping villages, 2 restaurants, festivals and special events. They still advertise that Loretta Lynn, George Jones, The Oak Ridge Boys, Jamey Johnson, Charley Pride, Ronnie McDowell and more are coming, just not when we're there. We planned on going to the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame, located next to our campground, but guess what.....they are also closed Sunday through Tuesday.
