Mount Isa Campdraft Association secretary Lisa Pratt said campdrafting was a great family sport for all to get involved in.

"Mount Isa Campdraft showcases some of the best talent in the region," Ms Pratt said.

"We also have the timed rodeo events which adds a bit of variety for spectators."

Ms Pratt said with the ground close to town, it provided a great opportunity for town folk to attend the event.

"It's ideal for people in town who may not have attended a campdraft before. It's an easy drive to see some of the North West's best competitors," she said.

"We have a lot of talent on display so we encourage everyone to bring a chair and come watch the action."

Food, drinks and bar will be available all weekend with live entertainment from Pacific Groove.
