Florida, Reinvented: SL's Trip to Westgate River Ranch

Can you guess one of our favorite places to getaway here at Sophisticated Living? Florida. From Palm Beach to Naples to Miami, the options are endless. But have you ever considered “glamping” Florida style? 

In our July/ August issue, glamor meets camping at the Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo. Located in Central Florida, the idea of visiting this Dude Ranch instead of your favorite Florida beach might seem intimidating. But don’t fret! Details like porcelain cast iron claw foot bathtubs and personal glamping concierges make this ranch into a luxury resort. Offering stays in Luxe Teepees and Luxe Conestoga Wagons, Westgate reveals a different side of Florida. Perfect for a couple’s retreat or a family vacation, the adventures are endless.  

Activities at Westgate include horseback riding, swamp buggy rides, and nights spent sitting around the fire, toasting marshmallows and sipping wine. Perfect for the adventurous, spend a day at Westgate’s Adventure Park, where you’ll find ziplines, mini golf, a petting zoo, and - if you dare - a mechanical bull. To complete the experience, don’t miss the Saturday night rodeos which will transport you back to the Wild West as riders show off their horseback riding and roping skills. Your current issue of Sophisticated Living has a firsthand look at all Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo has to offer you and your family this summer!
