Gregg Allman will have to lay low for a while before he can get back on the road to support his ‘Low Country Blues’ album.

Many people will be staying at the Buffalo Chip Campground, just outside of Sturgis.

The Legendary Buffalo Chip Campground in Sturgis is celebrating their 30th Anniversary in 2011. This year's Sturgis Rally begins on August 5th, and hundreds of thousands of bikers will descend on the Black Hills. No trip to the rally is complete without a visit to the Chip.

Diagnosed with hepatitis C, which he says he picked up from a dirty tattoo needle in his 20s, Allman was forced to undergo a liver transplant last year, and his new lease on life has led to a flurry of activity – including his new album, ‘Low Country Blues,’ as well as a public campaign to draw attention to the disease.
