Kidmans Camp was established in 1998 by current owners Peter and Tracey Simmonds. Peter, a former Australian Champion Bronc Rider and builder, and Tracey, who is also a competitive rodeo rider, grew up in Bourke and have lived in the region most of their lives.
Since creation, the park has expanded to fit about 300 people between cabins, camping, and caravans. The Simmonds family has also expanded, and the park is now operated by Peter, Tracey, Kayla, Clay and Sally Simmonds, with the help of support staff.
