A covered wagon campground in Texas, the Silver Spur offers authentic Conestoga covered wagons that will take you back to simpler times.

Each of the four wagons features both a king-size bed and your choice of either one or two sets of bunks.

Three of the wagons (the ones with one bunk) sleep up to four guests, while the other sleeps up to six.

You'll also enjoy a small table with chairs, A/C and heat, and a private picnic table and charcoal outside.

While you won't have a private bathroom, there are facilities nearby that are exclusive to covered wagon guests. The experience is definitely rustic, but it also has a luxuriousness that few campgrounds compare to.

Other lodging options include cabins, a ranch house, and RV and tent sites.

During your stay, make sure to check out all the fun activities the Silver Spur has to offer! From a resort-style swimming pool...

...to ponds where you can ride pedal boats or partake in some catch-and-release fishing...

...to even an escape room, there's plenty for all ages. You don't even have to leave to grab a bite to eat, as there is an on-site restaurant and brewery.

Nightly rates vary so be sure to visit the Silver Spur Resort website or the Canton KOA Holiday website (the wagons are part of the KOA campground) for more information and/or to book your stay.
