Rustic Camping

Unplug, Unwind, and Wake Up to the Rodeo

Make the most of your rodeo weekend with authentic, wide-open camping at Hughston’s Cow Camp. Gates open on Thursday, and you're free to choose your spot across 450+ acres of beautiful cattle pasture. Whether you prefer setting up by the shade of the trees or sleeping under the stars in an open field, the land is yours to enjoy. It’s peaceful, spacious, and as close to real Western living as it gets — just the way we like it.

Whether you’re pulling in a camper or pitching a tent, camping at Hughston's Cow Camp is all about simplicity, space, and soaking in the Western way of life. With no assigned spots, you’re free to find your perfect view — tucked under the trees, beside the arena, or out in the open pasture beneath a blanket of stars. There are no hookups or city noise out here — just the crackle of a campfire, the sounds of the wind, and good company as you gear up for a weekend full of rodeo action.
