Nothing remained of the drive in since the late 70’s. No outline or any ramps. The property was taken over by an oilfield company in 1979 and any trace of the drive in was removed or bulldozed over.
I have a question, wouldn’t this drive in have a Ranger, Tx address instead of Strawn, Texas? The old abandoned Ranger Hill Truck Stop Cafe across the highway from the drive in has a Ranger address? All other information that I have seen on this drive in has it being located in Ranger, Texas.
The tower support poles stayed standing for many years after the drive in closed. The property stayed vacant up until 2012, when different businesses were built on the land.
I believe the Reddy Ice company is actually on the drive in property. The ANF Auto Finance and the Nationwide Tools are on each side of the entrance. Reddy Ice is using the old foundation of the drive in’s marquee for its sign.

I believe this address is for the Camp Bowie drive in. The Sunset drive in was located at Live Oak Road and Garmon Drive (Hwy. 84). The aerial view above is the Camp Bowie drive in.
