Campground operators across the country are facing the same reality: guests want more, and the properties that deliver more are winning the bookings. Covered wagons are one of the most efficient ways to upgrade an existing RV park or campground without a major build — and the revenue impact shows up fast.
What Glamping Does for Campground Revenue
Glamping accommodations consistently outperform traditional sites on nightly rate, length of stay, and guest satisfaction scores. As campgrounds across the U.S. added glamping upgrades and amenities, they saw direct increases in income. The guest demographic driving glamping growth, primarily Millennials with household incomes above $100,000, is actively looking for premium outdoor stays and willing to pay for them.
Why PlainsCraft Wagons Work for Your Property
PlainsCraft wagons are designed for operator ease and guest satisfaction. Every detail is built around what campground guests want most, including privacy, comfort, and a stay that is worth posting about.
In-Unit Bathrooms
Guests consistently request private bathrooms, and PlainsCraft delivers. Each wagon bathroom includes an exhaust fan, a shower with a 20-gallon water heater, and a flushing toilet. The bathroom is fully ventilated and insulated, with custom-fitted showers and insulated caps that prevent mold, mildew, and cross-contamination with the main cabin.
Premium Furniture Built for the Footprint
Glamping guests expect furnishings that match the experience. PlainsCraft furniture is custom-made for the wagon’s exact dimensions — not adapted from off-the-shelf pieces. Optional interior design services are available through M. Street Interiors, owned by PlainsCraft founder Dennis Steinman’s wife, Donna.
Strong Return on Investment
Our wagons are classified as equipment for tax purposes, which allows a 100 percent write-off in the year of purchase under IRS Section 179. Combined with a typical investment payback period of under two years, the financial case for adding wagons is straightforward.
Introducing PlainsCraft Shower Houses and Outhouses
PlainsCraft also offers Shower Houses and Outhouses designed to help RV parks and campgrounds expand guest amenities without taking on a major construction project. These turnkey restroom and shower solutions add modern comfort while maintaining the rustic, Americana look guests expect from a PlainsCraft property. Built with the same craftsmanship standard as our wagons, they are a practical way to support more overnight stays, improve the guest experience, and add flexible infrastructure where your property needs it most.
