Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo Continues Expansion of Luxury Glamping

Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo announced the opening of five new Luxury Glamping Tents, expanding its premium glamping inventory as demand continues to grow for experiential travel that blends outdoor immersion with resort-level comfort.

The new luxury tents replicate the resort’s existing luxury glamping accommodations, which have become a signature offering at the 1,700-acre Old Florida dude ranch. Each tent spans more than 500 square feet and is situated within a shaded oak hammock, offering guests a secluded, nature-forward stay without sacrificing any modern amenities.

Designed to elevate the traditional camping experience, the luxury glamping tents feature climate-controlled interiors with air conditioning and heating, a king bed, a queen sleeper sofa, luxury linens, ceiling fan, electrical outlets and a full ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower and double-sink vanity. Kitchenette amenities include a microwave and mini refrigerator.

Guests staying in the Luxury Glamping Tents also receive access to VIP glamping concierge services, a complimentary resort golf cart for on-property transportation, nightly campfire service and morning coffee delivery. Community amenities include shared fire pits and outdoor seating areas.

“The expansion of our luxury glamping offerings at Westgate River Ranch reflect the continued evolution of how travelers want to experience the outdoors,” said Jim Gissy, Chief Executive Officer of Westgate Resorts. “Guests are seeking meaningful connections with nature while still enjoying thoughtful comforts and personalized service. These new tents allow us to meet that demand while preserving the authenticity that defines River Ranch.”

Westgate River Ranch Resort & Rodeo, located one hour south of Orlando and two hours north of Palm Beach County, offers a wide range of accommodations, including glamping tents, luxe teepees, RV and tent camping, lodge guest rooms and suites, rail cars, cabins and multi-bedroom cottages. The resort is known for its rodeo, outdoor recreation, adventure activities and family-friendly programming.

Luxury glamping guests also receive complimentary access to the new River Country Water Park, recently opened with a range of fun water activities, including a 281 foot open water slide, a tube slide with colorful stripes, a high adrenaline freefall slide, and a children’s splash pad.
