Bob Boomer takes down the Dusty's Camping World sign Thursday when All-American Signs replaced it with a Camping World sign. The business at State Road 60 and Rifle Range Road changed its name to Camping World of Bartow and changed a well-known landmark on the road.

Greg Dickey, at the bottom of the sign, and Bob Boomer place brackets into the Camping World sign Thursday when they replaced the Dusty's Camping World sign. The business changed its business name to Camping World of Bartow and a well-known landmark on State Road 60 at Rifle Range Road is now different.
A familiar sign — one that helps people giving directions — has come down.
It’s the sign that used to be on State Road 60 by Rifle Range Road that read “Dusty’s Camper World.” It came down last week after being in that spot since 2001. The new sign that reads “Camping World” also marks the end of the name of the business that has been outside Bartow for 47 years.
