You may do a double take when you pull up, but the Prairie Palace really is a covered wagon retreat.
Fox Pass Cabins
The life-sized team of mules really take this lodging to the next level. Every detail has been meticulously placed to create a realistic pioneer camp. The wagon is part of Fox Pass Cabins, tucked away in Hot Springs National Park.
The replica freight wagon is cozy, and a lot roomier than it looks!

The wagon is 8’ x 18’ so every cowpoke will have plenty of elbow room! The wagon does come with a bit of modern touches, like heating, air conditioning, and even TV for a relaxing and comfortable experience. The queen bed will easily sleep two adults, and the bunk underneath is a cozy spot for little ones. Even though you’re staying in a historic structure, it feels nothing short of modern and comfortable. This is a great way to get a feel for history without sacrificing any of the comforts of home.
Outside the wagon, you'll find an entire pioneer campground.

You'll feel like you've just ridden in from the dusty trail when you come to the Prairie Palace. The whole campground has endless photo opportunities, making this place Insta-worthy, as well. If you’re camping in Arkansas, a place like this will keep you endlessly entertained. With so much to see and do, you’ll never get bored. You may even have to add on an additional night to explore everything there is to see!
Of course, there are several other modern amenities, as well.
Fox Pass Cabins
The covered wagon campground wouldn't be complete without an outdoor hot tub. Okay, so the hot tub and propane grill may be a bit of an anachronism to the pioneer setting -- but they sure are fun! And, of course, they certainly aid in creating a carefree, comfortable getaway. And they add to the feeling of comfort and relaxation you’ll find during your stay. Although it’s crafted to have a pioneer feel, the comforts are far from what you would find over a hundred years ago.
Cleverly disguised modern aids are close by as well.
Fox Pass Cabins
Wash off with a hot shower in the private bathrooms of Soapie's Bathhouse. The house is less than 100 feet away from camp. At Fox Pass Cabins, you truly will have all you need to have an enjoyable evening out. This place is one for the bucket list!

This unique adventure can be your family's next getaway for about $160/night. All the details and booking information can be found at Fox Pass Cabins website.

Are there a lot of campgrounds in Arkansas?

There are! 32 of Arkansas state parks feature campgrounds, and those are just the state run options. You’ll find other amazing places to spend the night, like private themed campgrounds, all across the state. If it’s scenic beauty you’re looking for, these seven campsites in Arkansas will not disappoint!

What is the best time of year to camp in Arkansas?

Autumn is the best time of year to camp in Arkansas. The fall season is mild and dry, with plenty of sunny days, and the perfect weather to pitch a tent and get out in the great outdoors.

What are some other hidden gems in Arkansas?

Arkansas is full of hidden gems — you just need to know where to look! Luckily, we’re here to help. These 20 hidden gems in Arkansas are a great place to start; the Louisiana Purchase History Marker is an important piece of history. You’ll find this little historical marker at the Louisiana Purchase State Park near Blackon. Originally placed in 1815, the marker was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Toltec Mounds are another interesting place to visit — nestled along the banks of Mound Lake, the 18-mound complex was originally inhabited from 600 to 1050 CE and is the tallest surviving prehistoric mounds in Arkansas, worth a visit for sure!
