Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo: A Retreat for Rustic Rejuvenation

Atlanta’s population has skyrocketed in the last few decades, the mile-a-minute pace of a major city has left many of its residents feeling overwhelmed and discombobulated. Longtime residents of the City in the Forest are essentially in a brand new neck of the woods. As a sojourn to recharge from the hustle and bustle of city life, there’s Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo in River Ranch, Florida. 

Located approximately an hour outside Orlando, Westgate River Ranch allows guests to reconvene with nature while still providing an excellent glamping experience. Many traditional activities such as archery, horseback riding, and fishing are offered to guests yearning to experience the glories and serenities of times long since past. Zip-lining, rock climbing, and mechanical bull riding are a few of the exhilarating activities that will require guests to hold onto their cowboy hats. 

Westgate provides authentic outdoor experiences while not sacrificing any luxuries of glamping (glamorous camping). The Westgate River Ranch Rodeo Arena is home to the Saturday Night Rodeo, an indelible spectacle featuring masterful riders attempting to not get flung off of a fierce and incorrigible bull. Barrel racing and trick riding are parts of the rodeo sure to electrify fans. The 2,400 seat arena is consistently full of fans every Saturday night. All ages are often in attendance for the rodeo and leave with memories that they’ll always cherish.

With the dude ranch spanning 1,700 acres, guests have ample space to roam and recharge. All glamping accommodations include air conditioning and heating. Private bathrooms and morning coffee services are among the amenities provided to all of the ranch’s guests. The S’mores and Pours Package offered by World of Westgate includes a stay in a cozy glamping teepee, tent, or wagon. Two deluxe s’mores kits and a bottle of Buffalo Trace Bourbon are also included in the package. The S’mores and Pours Package is tailored to couples, but suitable for all adult glampers. The comfort of modern amenities and the serenity of rural central Florida come together to make Westgate River Ranch & Resort a must-visit luxury outdoors experience.
