The Western-themed English campsite that’s like a mini-Texas – with log cabins, BBQ packages and new saloon
THERE’S a glamping experience in the UK where holidaymakers can live out their dreams of becoming a cowboy.
Located in the countryside in Lincolnshire, Deadwood Cabins features Wild West-themed log cabins.
The family-run business has three tombstone-style luxury log cabins where holidaymakers can book overnight stays.
Holidaymakers can book to stay in either the Rawhide Saloon, the Sheriff’s Cabin or the Longhorn Cabin.
They all look like they’ve been plucked out of a spaghetti western starring John Wayne thanks to the walls lined with cowhide and antlers.
Each cabin is equipped with a comfy bed, indoor kitchen, toilet facilities, a log burner, TV and BBQ.
Guests can also book added extras including BBQ packages where grub like steaks and pork and apple burgers can be ordered in advance.
The food will be ready in the cabin upon arrival – although guests will need to bring their own charcoal to light the the barbie.
Other services that can be booked in advance include celebration packages and sweet treat boxes that are filled with items like S’mores, brownies and rocky road bites.
Earlier this year, the Lincolnshire-based campsite opened the Crazy Horse Saloon, which is new for 2024.
The Crazy Horse Saloon is the site’s latest new addition, and it’s the perfect place to host a private event like workshops and line dancing classes.
It comes equipped with electricity, lighting, an operational sink, fridge, ice machine, chairs and tables.
Alcohol isn’t served in the Saloon but guests are welcome to bring their own poison.
Deadwood Cabins is an adults-only glamping site, where overnight guests aged 21 and over will need to book a two-night stay, minimum.
Overnight stays start from £77.50 per person, with parties of six able to book all three cabins in one booking.
The cowboy cabins have been praised by visitors on the website, with one person saying: “A great stay, but more than that…a great experience.”
Another person added: “Words cannot describe how much we’ve enjoyed this trip! There is so much attention to detail and care put in to every aspect.”
Someone else wrote: “Absolutely loved the cabin. So unique and gave me a true USA fix…We’ll absolutely be back!”
Deadwood Cabins is a 32-minute drive from King’s Lynn, and it’s a 90-minute drive from Cambridge.
There are plenty of other cowboy-themed attractions dotted across the UK, including Frontier Falls – a new wild west-themed land that recently opened at Drayton Manor.
Other western-themed attractions in the UK
THERE are plenty of western-themed attractions dotted across the UK, including the Moonshine Saloon: Immersive Wild West Experience in London
Earlier this year, travel writer Jane Cook visited the immersive London experience that’s like travelling back to 1880s America.
She wrote: “As someone who moved from the US to the UK as an infant, I rarely get the chance to feel ‘American’.
That was until I rocked up at the Moonshine Saloon: Immersive Wild West Experience in London.
The Saloon’s gaudy facade with its tea-stained newspaper boards and wagon wheels looked like it had been cut out of a Western film and pasted right into the centre of London.
The Moonshine Saloon’s gimmick, as the name suggests, is moonshine, and all guests are tasked with ‘sneaking’ in their homemade concoctions aka ‘store-brought spirits’.
