For RV PArks and CampGrounds

Add Glamping Wagons
To Your RV Park or Campground

Glamping structures purpose-built for RV Parks and Campgrounds.

If you already operate an RV park or campground, you are closer to a glamping revenue upgrade than you might think. You have the land, the utilities, and the guest traffic. Adding a covered wagon converts an existing site into a premium accommodation that commands a significantly higher nightly rate, with minimal disruption to your current operation.

The market case

Why Glamping Makes Sense
RV Park and Campground Owners

A KOA case study found that converting primitive tent sites into glamping units generates a 27.2 percent return on investment for structures without private bathrooms, and up to 69.5 percent ROI for structures with full amenities. PlainsCraft wagons include full in-unit bathrooms as standard, which positions them firmly in that higher-return tier.

The 2023 RMS State of the Industry Report confirms the direction of travel: glamping was the most popular accommodation type in the campground sector at 36.4 percent, edging out traditional tent camping at 35.1 percent for the first time. The guest mix is shifting, and properties that offer glamping are capturing a larger and higher-spending share of that market.

What PlainsCraft brings to a development

Purpose-Built for
Commercial Outdoor Hospitality

PlainsCraft works with developers at every stage — from a single-property owner adding their first glamping units to multi-site operators building out a full resort concept. Our wagons are purpose-built for outdoor hospitality use, which means they hold up under continuous commercial occupancy in a way that adapted or repurposed structures do not.

Fits Your Existing Infrastructure

PlainsCraft wagons connect to standard campground utility systems, which means most properties can integrate them without significant infrastructure investment. Water, sewer, and electrical hookups follow the same setup as an RV site, so your existing systems are typically sufficient from day one.

Built for Continuous Commercial Use

Wagons that are used nightly by paying guests need to perform differently than a vacation rental that hosts guests a few weekends a month. PlainsCraft builds specifically for commercial hospitality use. The Bonnetgard Cover System, insulated plumbing, and ventilated bathrooms are designed for operators who need reliability across a full season, not for occasional use.

Private Bathrooms That Guests Expect

Guests booking a premium glamping stay expect a private bathroom. PlainsCraft bathrooms include a full shower with a 20-gallon water heater, a flushing toilet, vanity with sink, and an exhaust fan. The bathroom is fully ventilated and insulated with custom-fitted components that prevent mold, mildew, and moisture transfer into the main cabin. Wagons with private bathrooms consistently command higher nightly rates and earn stronger guest reviews than those without.

Multiple Floor Plans for Different Needs

Whether you want to add a single couple’s retreat or a family configuration with bunk sleeping, PlainsCraft offers floor plans that serve the range of guests your park attracts. Diversifying your glamping inventory by floor plan lets you serve more booking types at different price points without sourcing from multiple vendors.

Instagrammable by Design

A well-placed covered wagon generates ongoing organic marketing through guest social posts, travel blogs, and booking platform photography. Properties with visually distinctive accommodations consistently earn higher search rankings on platforms like Hipcamp and Airbnb, and attract media coverage that paid advertising cannot replicate.

Fast Deployment

Most PlainsCraft wagons are built and shipped within 6–8 weeks. No lengthy construction timelines, no heavy site preparation. Drop them, connect utilities, and start generating revenue — giving your development a faster path to ROI than most traditional hospitality builds.

Complete your property

Restroom Solutions
Built to Match.

A wagon without reliable restroom access is a harder sell. PlainsCraft Shower Houses and Outhouses are handcrafted to the same standard as our wagons — durable, ADA-compliant, and quick to install — so your property is ready for guests end to end.

Shower House

Full Bathroom.
Zero Construction Headaches.

The PlainsCraft Shower House is a beautifully built, ready-to-go bathroom that brings the feel of a premium cabin to any outdoor setting. Hook it up and it works — no permits, no contractors, no timeline drama. From glamping resorts to private homesteads, it removes every friction point between you and a guest-ready property.

Outhouse

Quick Access.
Handcrafted Quality.

When a full shower house isn’t the right fit, the PlainsCraft Outhouse delivers clean, durable restroom access that matches the character of your property. Minimal install, low environmental impact, and built to the same quality standard guests expect from everything PlainsCraft makes.

Both units are available with ADA-compliant configurations and designed for rapid installation with standard utility hookups.

PlainsCraft Covered Wagons have been a massive part of the draw for our guests at Keystone Heights RV Resort. We wanted to offer a one-of-a-kind experience for our campers, and they delivered.
