This Western-Themed Resort Is Perfect for Your Next Weekend Getaway

Summer is almost here, which means your next big trip is probably on the horizon. Instead of (or in addition to) your usual family beach vacation, why not try a destination that will give you an excuse to break out your best cowboy hat and boots? If that sparks your interest, look no further than Westgate River Ranch Resort and Rodeo! This fun getaway spot will give you the full Western experience, with activities like camping, fishing, and even a rodeo! Frankly, it's giving Yellowstone vibes and we're here for it. (Fans of the show should also check out how to rent a cabin on the Yellowstone ranch.)

Westgate is an authentic dude ranch located just one hour south of Orlando in Polk County, Florida. The sprawling resort, which sits on about 1,700 acres of land, gives guests a beautiful view of the Kissimmee River.

Westgate River Ranch offers 17 different camping accommodations. From RV and tent camping to cozy suites and luxe Conestoga wagons, there's an option for everyone. Just keep in mind that each one comes with a different cost.

You’ll certainly stay busy with the dozens of outdoor activities the ranch provides. You could attend their Saturday night rodeo, meet animals at the petting farm, go airboat riding, bungee jumping, golfing, trap and skeet shooting, fishing, and more.

Oh, and you can definitely look forward to some good eats. With three restaurants (a steakhouse, a smokehouse grill, and a saloon), a general store, and personalized catering services, you and whoever comes along will be more than satisfied.

If this doesn't sound exciting enough, take it from those who have already been there! Westgate River Ranch has become a popular destination for social media users, too. Positive reviews of the ranch can be found on most social media platforms, but especially on Tik Tok and Instagram.

So, if you decide to visit this fun-filled resort, don't forget to document your trip—and tell us all about it in the comments!
