Each of us has our own level of comfort when it comes to camping. Some are seasoned campers, with a backpack of supplies slung over their shoulder, ready to pitch a tent for a primitive adventure. However, those of us who haven’t camped a lot often crave a more comfortable experience, perhaps even in a unique setting. That’s exactly what you’ll find when you check into this covered wagon in Missouri.
Tranquility and nature go hand-in-hand at Crystal Creek Ranch, in Eminence, which spans a lush 1,000 acres. You can also check into an authentic covered wagon.
The Sheepherder’s Wagon, however, promises a unique experience that you won’t really find anywhere else in Missouri. Originally built by a sheepherder, the enchanting wagon…
The covered wagon does have some amenities that you wouldn’t find in a covered wagon years ago – air conditioning, a refrigerator, and a coffee maker, for example. (You will have to walk to the nearest bathroom facilities.)
Set off on some or all of the six miles of hiking trails or the two miles of creek trails. Use one of the ranch’s paddle boats or canoes for a meander on the pond or the lake.
