The natural setting in the grasslands of the glacial morraine, the Coteau des Prairie, gives a relaxing welcoming feeling. Free camping in the hills of the ranch is allowed during the week of the rodeo. The rodeo features seven major rodeo events-saddle bronc riding, calf roping, bareback riding, steer wrestling, team roping, bull riding and girls barrel racing. With acres and acres of pasture, many rodeo fans camp during rodeo week and attend all the performances. Many units arrive on Tuesday and Wednesday of rodeo week and stay until the final day, which is Sunday.
Water is furnished.
Families cook out over a campfire, enjoy horseback riding, the wide open spaces, and the rodeo on Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday afternoon.
