Expanding Access to Outdoor Hospitality

Outdoor hospitality feels most authentic—and reaches its highest standard—when it’s welcoming to all. With the launch of our new ADA-Compliant Covered Wagon, PlainsCraft is making that a reality. This design opens the door for travelers of all abilities to experience the comfort, style, and renewal of glamping.

The interiors are fully ADA-compliant, but this wagon is about more than compliance—it’s about creating a sense of welcome that strengthens destinations and creates new opportunities for owners.

A Solution the Outdoor Hospitality Industry Has Been Waiting For

Our flagship PlainsCraft Covered Wagon has already reshaped glamping with its integrated en suite bathroom and Bonnetgard™ insulation system, helping owners extend their season while keeping guests comfortable in both hot and cold weather.

The new ADA-Compliant model builds on that legacy, preserving the wagon’s authentic charm while welcoming even more travelers into the glamping experience.

“Few units on the market today fully meet ADA requirements,” said Dennis Steinman, CEO of PlainsCraft. “Accessibility isn’t just about regulations—it’s about ensuring everyone has the chance to enjoy the outdoors. We’re proud to debut this wagon, because it represents the standard accessibility should meet in outdoor hospitality.”

Endless Approaches, Same Destination

Every property is unique, which means there’s no single solution for ADA-compliant access. That’s why the ADA Wagon is designed with flexibility in mind—owners can choose the approach that best fits their terrain and layout.

Options include:

  • Ground-Level Wagon – Built closer to the ground with reduced wheel height for direct entry.
  • Terrain-Adjusted Access – Use the natural landscape to minimize ramp length and slope.
  • Wrap-Around Ramp – 36″ wide with a maximum 1:12 slope.
  • Layered Porch with Ramp Access – A multi-level porch design that integrates ramping.
  • Wheelchair or Stage Lift – Heavy-duty lift with at least 52″ rise capability.

No matter the approach, the result is the same: a fully ADA-compliant interior that delivers an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind glamping experience.

Designed for Resort Owners, Loved by Guests

Adding an ADA-compliant unit gives properties a competitive edge.

“Every owner we work with is looking for ways to stand out by offering unique features and amenities,” said Shane Burns, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at PlainsCraft. “The moment a guest selects ‘wheelchair accessible’ under amenities, their unit rises in listings with better visibility. It’s a way to expand their audience, reduce competition, and deliver hospitality guests won’t forget.”

Crafted for Glamping Comfort and ADA-Compliance

Like all PlainsCraft products, the ADA Wagon is handcrafted in the USA and built for longevity. Key features include:

  • ADA-Compliant Interior – Spacious layout and accessible design.
  • En Suite Bathroom Options – Mold- and mildew-resistant for lasting comfort.
  • Bonnetgard™ Insulation System – Keeps guests comfortable across seasons.
  • Turnkey Structural Design – Quick installation so owners can begin generating revenue faster.
  • Handcrafted Quality – Built with superior materials and craftsmanship.

A Season of Milestones

This year has been a big one for PlainsCraft. Alongside the ADA Wagon, we introduced our new Shower House, designed to pair perfectly with the 1.2 Bath Outhouse, offering flexible solutions for property owners.

We also earned ANSI 119.5 certification for our wagons—a nationally recognized standard for park model RVs. The process was seamless, thanks to the quality and durability we’ve built into every wagon since the beginning. Now, our customers have the extra reassurance that PlainsCraft wagons are backed by both craftsmanship and the broader park model industry standard.

“These milestones open a world of opportunity for us and our customers,” Steinman said. “When you invest in a PlainsCraft product, you’re getting more than a structure—you’re getting the peace of mind that comes with proven quality.”

See It First at Glamping Show Americas

The ADA-Compliant Covered Wagon will make its debut at Glamping Show Americas in Aurora, Colorado. You’ll find us at Booth #700 in the Outdoor Exhibit area. Stop by for a walkthrough and see firsthand how PlainsCraft continues to shape the future of outdoor hospitality.

“This wagon reflects who we are as a company—building with quality, craftsmanship, and ensuring the outdoor experience is available to more people,” Steinman said. “That’s what matters most.”
