Plan an unforgettable getaway at the largest dude ranch east of the Mississippi—Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo. Kick back and relax on 1,700 beautiful acres featuring Florida cowboy-themed accommodations, a slew of recreational activities, award-winning dining, and the longest-running Saturday night championship rodeo in the nation. Located about an hour south of Orlando in Polk County, FL, our famous ranch and glamping resort is where you and your family can unwind in one of the last untouched pieces of Florida wilderness with a range of upscale accommodations and luxury camping options to suit your travel needs.
Imagine connecting with the great outdoors in the comfort of one of our Luxe Conestoga Wagons, Luxury Glamping Tents, or Luxe Teepees. Those who wish to opt for a more rustic approach to vacation where you can make the most of your own equipment and recreational gear can choose our Platform Camping Tents or Primitive Camping option. Our fully furnished lodge rooms, cottages, and cabins offer the same ranch style charm that keeps you feeling surrounded by natural beauty, all within a prime location that gives you access to our exciting ranch activities and adventures.
Plan a fun-filled day at River Country Water Park, a full immersion resort experience with three western-themed waterslides, a kid-friendly water play zone, spacious cabanas available upon reservation. Or treat the kiddos to the thrilling Cowboy Adventure Park where you can saddle up some excitement with a day of rides, games, and delightful surprises. Get ready for memory-making adventure with river gold panning, riding a mechanical bull, the chance to “drive” your very own tractor around our racetrack, or rock climbing on Mount Kicco. The excitement continues on Saturday nights when you can be amazed by the expert riders of Double K Rodeo. Grab a seat in our 1,200-seat rodeo arena where you’ll see trick riding, barrel racing, and bull riding. If you’re wanting to live out your wildest cowboy dreams, ask our concierge to book an excursion like horseback riding, a swamp buggy ride, fishing, a river cruise or a visit to our trap & skeet range. When you want a relaxing day at the ranch, we invite you to soak up the Florida sun in our seasonal outdoor heated pool and hot tub.
Weddings have a special place at our ranch resort with thousands of square feet of event space available for your next gathering. In addition to our selection of prime lodging and topnotch entertainment, you and your guests will enjoy our on-property dining featuring delicious ranch-themed fare and ice-cold beverages, all within a rustic chic atmosphere. Our expert event staff is on call to help you fulfill your vision with catering services, free self parking, dog-friendly amenities, and a range of meeting rooms that can accommodate up to 250 guests.
