Woody Campbell left his job at Warner Theatres in the booking department to start the Trail Drive-In Theatre in 1950. In 1953, he then purchased the Majestic Theatre in downtown Bowie running both.

As of Google Street view in February of 2013 the screen is gone but remnants of the marquee remain as well as the ticket booth and concession/projection stand.

Photos I took back in September of 2011 can be seen here .. The screen, I believe, was damaged heavily by a storm a few years back. The Ticket booth, Marquee, & snack bar/projection booth remain.. Click on photo to enlarge

The drive-in is located on the east side of US 81, north of town just past County Road 286.
