Stay The Night In An Old-Fashioned Covered Wagon At This Utah Resort
Camping in Utah’s great outdoors is a wonderful experience, but not everyone is cool with sleeping on the ground. If you’re looking for the perfect compromise between a tent and a hotel room, you’ll want to head to Capitol Reef Resort, where you can spend the night in an old-fashioned covered wagon.
Capitol Reef Resort is situated on 58 acres with Capitol Reef National Park as its backdrop. This gorgeous landscape is rugged, but the accommodations here offer all the modern amenities that you love.
If you've ever wondered what it would have been like to be a pioneer, sleeping in a covered wagon, well...you're not going to find out here. Capitol Reef Resort does have charming covered wagons, but they're a far cry from the spartan accommodations that pioneers faced.
The wagons were built based on real Conestoga wagons of the 1800s, but they provide an incredible glamping experience. As many as six guests fit inside on the king-sized bed and bunk beds.
The Conestoga wagons also include air-conditioning, luxurious bedding, a fire pit, and a private bathroom that's just a few steps away.
The wagons are arranged in a circle, just as the pioneers set up camp back in the good old days. Share some s'mores and make new friends with your fellow wagon adventurers. Tell some tall tales around the campfire, then snuggle up inside your waterproof canvas.
In addition to exploring nearby Capitol Reef National Park, you'll find plenty to do right here at the resort. Splash and play in the outdoor heated pool...
Though you'll enjoy the vast, open spaces around the resort, you'll also have all the modern comforts you love. Enjoy free wireless Internet, as well as a breakfast buffet.
What are you waiting for? Book your Conestoga wagon now, and enjoy an adventure unlike any other!
