Prairie Palace Covered Wagon

Come and Relax in Nature in our amazing Prairie Palace Covered Wagon in Hot Springs National Park. It is quite large resembling the “Conestoga Wagon” which was a freight wagon of the old west! Our Covered Wagon is 8’ x 18’… The setting at the Wagon is staged to bring to you an era gone by. The Covered Wagon is set in a museum quality replica Pioneer Camp, outfitted with fire-pit, Charcoal Grill and a Life size Mule Team! We’re nestled in the Ouachita National Forest among big Arkansas Boulders. You will not experience this type of setting in any Covered Wagon Rental anywhere else in the U.S.!

*Please read all of our amenities as you are "Luxury Glamping" which is a glorified camping experience, we realize glamping isn't for everyone so please make sure you understand what you are renting as we want all of our guests to be happy with their stay....

No need to worry about rain, wind or the elements…. You’ll sleep cozy and comfy!

A little History Lesson: Did you know the James Younger Gang robbed their first stagecoach is Hot Springs, AR???? The Covered Wagon provides a passageway back through time that allows you to experience the culture of the American Frontier Wagon Trains that made this Country what it is today. Come and Experience Pioneer American Culture at its best, with a few bells & whistles! Enjoy a warm Covered Wagon with the feel of the old west. The distant hoot of an old owl can stir emotions and feelings of a time gone by. Our Covered Wagon is hidden in the quiet seclusion of the forest next to an old dry creek where arrowheads have been found. The Hot Springs AR area is known for its Quapaw and Caddo Indians but also for its Covered Wagon passages thru Hot Springs by early settlers looking for the Hot Springs! Fox Pass Cutoff in Hot Springs was originally named “Fox Pass Trail” and used by the Indians here as a trade route. The Hot Springs area is rich with history and hidden treasures.
