Rodeo Grounds?

Rodeo Grounds?

The 1700 some arces is made up of two properties. One parcel being the campgrounds and the other containing a full blown dude ranch.  The mystery camper is enjoying the following activities here.

* Visiting the petting farm

* Skeet and trap shooting

* A weekly bull riding rodeo

* A cool drink in an authentic saloon

* A trail ride

* Met some people staying in the 240 room on-site hotel

* Took an airboat ride

* Went out for a boat ride with one of the lot owners

* Toured the campground to see some of the sites in the 5 phases totalling somewhere near 580 sites

An Airport?

Some lot owners choose to fly in and out. This field is paved and is reported to be about 5,000 feet in length.  The car on the right side of the photo is registered in the state that this campground is in.

So, can you solve this mystery? Can you find the clues, some perhaps hidden in the photos, and name the location and the campground that the mystery camper is at?  It is somewhere in North America.  So let’s hear your guess.

  2. Looks great! We actually own a Westgate-managed condo timeshare in Orlando. Wonder if we can go to River Ranch as a trade?

    Don’t know what happened? I replied after Donna Kutz’s response but it never registered or posted.
    Anyway, I too thought it to be River Ranch RV Resort in River Ranch, Fl.

    That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it.

    Cheers,

    River Ranch RV Resort is located 50 miles west of Vero Beach and 60 miles East of Tampa. The resort sits at the end of Lake Kissimmee and at the start of the Kissimmee River which goes to Lake Okeechobee.

    I believe this is River Ranch RV Resort in Florida.

    I think that you need to limit information on your monthly guess the campground pictures. All one who is proficient with using google needs to do is put in most of the key words in your hints, and bang, you have the site, as well as reviews from various travel review sites. Need to just show a few key pictures, and see what happens. Then, if not guessed in a week, add one hint, such as area of US, then week later, the state, etc. Would make it much more difficult. And pictures should not be those found on the campground’s web site.

    Just a suggestion. This one wasn’t as easy as the last month when the photos had the tag on them.

    Yep, it is Westgate River Ranch Resort near Lake Wales, FL. However, the online reviews do not speak very highly of this private membership campground.

  12. Fred Wolf

    The campground is River Ranch located in River Ranch, FL which is midway between Lake Wales to the west and Yeehaw Junction to the east off Hwy 60. Used to own a lot on the canel leading to the marina, which has access to the Kissimmee River.

  13. Colleen Moore

    I agree I think it is River Ranch in River Ranch FL
