Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo - A Florida dude ranch with luxury glamping, rodeo events, and diverse dining options

Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo offers a Florida dude ranch experience with luxury glamping accommodations, including teepees and Conestoga wagons, each featuring air conditioning and private amenities. The resort hosts the longest-running Saturday night championship rodeo in the U.S., featuring bull riding, barrel racing, and trick riding in a 1200-seat arena. Guests can dine at multiple onsite restaurants, such as the fine-dining River Ranch Cattle Company steakhouse, casual Smokehouse Grill, and quick-service Deli at the General Store. Recreational activities include horseback riding, swamp buggy rides, trap shooting, and fishing along the Kissimmee River. The property spans 0.5 hectares with a 1.2 m private airstrip for fly-in guests. Accommodations range from lodge suites and cabins to RV and tent camping, with options like the Luxe Teepees offering stone fireplaces and private patios.

Pros

The Saturday night rodeo features professional bull riding and barrel racing.

Luxe glamping options include air-conditioned teepees with private bathrooms.

Multiple dining venues, from a fine-dining steakhouse to a casual saloon.

Extensive outdoor activities, including horseback riding and swamp buggy tours.

Private airstrip for guests arriving by private aircraft.

Cons

The remote location may require a car for off-site excursions.

Some accommodations, like platform camping, share communal bathroom facilities.

“This ranch creates a haven for families, offering activities from horseback riding to an authentic rodeo; the well-maintained grounds and clean accommodations provide a comfortable base for adventure. While on-site store prices might surprise, the overall experience makes it a memorable getaway immersed in nature. I think it is great for a unique blend of relaxation and outdoor fun.”
