Camptown (where the song comes from, really).</font>

Incorrect, my friend! The Camptown Race Song is from central Virginia - just outside Ashland, Virginia.

Camptown Races:

Telephone: 804-752-6678

Who hasn't sung Camptown Races" with its race track five miles long, oh, de doo-da day." Camptown Races will be held on May 12 this year at Graymount Park, which is two miles north of Ashland, Virginia. These thoroughbred flat races are always held on the second Saturday in May.
