Chuck Wagon Cook-off Competition

March 6 through 8, 2026

Clabough’s Campground • Pigeon Forge, TN

Event Details

The Chuck Wagon Cook-off is a three-day event including a cook-off competition, dinner concert, luncheon and cowboy church.

Chuck wagons will gather at Clabough’s Campground for this one-of-a-kind outdoor cooking event. Long before today’s food truck craze treated foodies to impromptu kitchens on wheels, early American chuck wagons fed hungry cowboys on the open prairies during cattle drives.

The Chuck Wagon Cook-off Weekend Schedule

The Friday evening dinner concert will be held at Mama's Farmhouse featuring performances by Barry Corbin and Jeff Carson at 6 pm. They will also be performing on Saturday, at 10 am under the big tent. Andy Nelson will be returning as MC and performing cowboy poetry for both days.

The Cook-off Competition will take place Saturday, March 7 from 9 am - 2 pm. Guests can enjoy the free family fun with the option to purchase a meal ticket for $15. Experience outdoor cooking over open fire just as they did on historic cattle drives.

Sunday morning head over to Stages West for Cowboy Church. Breakfast will be served at 8:30 am followed by a morning service at 10 am. You can purchase tickets for the breakfast for $5. (Tickets must be purchased in advance.)
