RV Camping to Rodeos
Yeehaw! Bucking broncos, twisting bulls and blindingly fast roping teams; you’ll find them all at a good old-fashioned rodeo. Smart rodeo fans know one of the best ways to follow the circuit is by RV. Here’s the lowdown on some of the best rodeos America has to offer RV travelers.
RV VACATIONS TO RODEOS
The cowboy is an American icon, and the perfect way to understand cowboy culture is by attending a rodeo. Fortunately for rodeo fans, the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA)sanctions some of the best rodeo action in the world right here in the USA.
Hardcore rodeo fans who follow the circuit know that hotel rooms and restaurant meals can be expensive! Save money by camping by RV close to the arena. We hope you’ll use these tips for finding PRCA rodeos you can build an RV camping vacation around.
The PRCA Rodeo Circuit
Like any other athlete, today’s professional rodeo cowboy (or cowgirl!) trains for their chosen sport long hours each day. All that training pays off when they ride a bull through a body roll or make it to the buzzer on the back of a bronco. PRCA rodeos showcase the very best rodeo athletes. Here are a few of the PRCA-sanctioned rodeos that make perfect destinations for RV camping rodeo fans.
National Western Stock Show & Rodeo – Denver, Colorado
For two weeks each January, the National Western Complex in Denver is the site of fantastic indoor rodeo competition, as well as a national livestock show. Come to Denver to see bull riding, team roping and barrel racing, as well as other traditional rodeo events, as cowboys and cowgirls work to earn points toward top PRCA prizes. Swing by our Denver El Monte RV Rentals location and lasso a well-equipped RV to bunk down in between events.
