Holly Bay Campground

👍👍 Nice and clean campground in Daniel Boone National Forrest. Very private sites, not on top of your neighbors at all. From what I could tell every site had all kinds of trees between them, couldn't even see our neighbors. This was one of the best campgrounds we have stayed in.

Harland Sanders Cafe and Museum
Museum
👍👍 We stopped here while on a road trip. We needed to eat and thought it would be more fun than just a regular quick service place. It wasn't very far off the exit, so it wasn't out of the way. It well exceeded our expectations and was a walk down memory lane. I had no idea how extensive it would be bu...

👍👍 This place is off the beaten path so to speak. Up a large hill, that just seems to just keep climbing. It's up a gravel road, my sedan traversed it just fine, but if you drive a pickup it would be quite a bit easier. The monument and shelter was worth the trip, although I would stay clear of the res...
