"Sittin' Pretty" Chuck Wagon Camp

100%
(1)
Tent site · Sleeps 6
Stay in a covered wagon on an adventurous getaway to the mountains. Our traditional Hansen Wheel & Wagon Co. chuck wagon will provide you with a once-in-a-lifetime experience you will never forget! Enjoy the charm of pioneer-style camping paired with modern comforts like a functional and authentic chuck box kitchen w/ electricity, water & WiFi plus convenient access to showers & restrooms. Park style charcoal grill. We also have fresh eggs available from our chickens. The camp offers a unique themed old town getaway with the best of all worlds. A perfect outpost for those who enjoy outdoor activities as well as those seeking a peaceful retreat in the serenity of nature. Bring your own tent (up to 2) & set up next to the wagon, under the shade of the pines. This would allow additional sleeping for up to the allowed amount of guests since the wagon only sleeps 2. This thoughtfully designed camp features a chuck box cabinet at the rear of the wagon with drawers & shelves for storing your items. The hinged door of the box folds down to serve as a workspace or countertop table. The canvas cover provides protection from the elements and the extension creates a shaded area for the cook while preparing meals. It is designed to be fully functional reflecting the ingenuity & practicality of the original chuck wagons that were essential for feeding cowboys on long cattle drives in the 19th century. Step on up into the sleeping quarters of your camp. We provide a lantern for inside lighting use of the wagon. There are (2) 4" Gel Memory Foam Tri-fold mattresses that allows you to get a comfortable nights sleep. (Bedding not included) Enough area to store your bags & provide a stable and protected sheltered camp. The old town porch-sittin' area provides an even extra touch of the way life used to be. It houses the firewood supply & trash bin. It's a great view of the creek and covered bridge area across the lush green fields where often you will see deer passing and grazing through. View the full beauty of the night sky under the stars, sitting fireside on our rustic log bench as you hear the trickle of the stream as it gently flows by. Watch the sunrise from your rustic front porch, sipping morning coffee as the hazy dew glistens over the grassy fields.
