Buddy Holly Crash Site

Historical landmark

👍👍 Make sure you have your GPS set to the site as there are no signs or any mention of the place until you are at it. There is about a half mile of driving on gravel road, so be wary of if your car can handle that. It’s also about a quarter mile walk on uneven dirt and grass to get to the site. It is v...

Campground

👍👍 A++++ Stayed from 06/06/22 through 08/20/22 (76 days). Here are the basics, then my personal experience. Beautiful campground: Lake on one side; river on opposite side.

Avion Azul

Mexican restaurant

👍👍 Loved it! We had guacamole made at our table side. I drank a yummy paloma and had a chicken fajita burrito! My son had the super fajita. Portions were generous! We saw one large plane land and two small planes take off. Service was friendly and efficient.

Where you park, someone is kind enough to keep a cooler full of cold water! I’m assuming it’s one of the houses near by, but regardless, thank you!...

Don McLean American Pie Parking

Tourist attraction

👍👍 Quick a little stop off the gravel road 10 miles off the interstate. Listen to the music on your way in and out of the musicians we've Lost. There is a cooler with free water parking across the street. Small walk to the actual crash site where there is a memorial set up. Glasses just the entrance...
