Cowboys and rodeos first became a show and sporting event in the west of America. This legendary American culture is still very much alive in states such as Nevada, Texas and Wyoming. Some cities are well known as 'rodeo cities' and host regular festivals and competitions. In Nevada, Reno city organizes an annual rodeo festival every June, which brings together many rodeo champions. You can reach this city from San Francisco. The roads are well suited to motorhomes and offer easy driving conditions. You will also have no difficulty finding a campsite.

Not far from Yellowstone National Park and Salt Lake City in Wyoming, is the town of Cody. Cody is a rodeo town and home to Buffalo Bill, a famous, professional rodeo rider and buffalo hunter. There are three big shows during the summer in this town: Cheyenne Frontier Days in July, the famous Buffalo Bill Cody Stampede Rodeo which runs from June to August and the Cody Nite Rodeo. You can stay on a ranch in your motorhome at the Ponderosa Ranch Campground in Cody.

Texas also hosts many kinds of rodeo events. In the heart of Fort Worth, easily accessible from Dallas, you can attend a rodeo show at the Cowton Colliseum or the Stockyards Championship Rodeo.
