Inclusion Elevates the Experience
A Solution the Glamping Industry Has Been Waiting For
PlainsCraft’s flagship Covered Wagon has already reshaped glamping with its integrated en suite bathroom and Bonnetgard insulation system–helping owners extend their season while keeping guests comfortable in varying climates. The new ADA-Compliant wagon model builds on that tradition, preserving the wagon’s authentic character while welcoming even more travelers into the new era of glamping.
“Few units on the market today fully meet ADA requirements,” said Dennis Steinman, CEO of PlainsCraft. “Accessibility isn’t just about regulations–it’s about ensuring everyone has the chance to enjoy the outdoors. We’re proud to debut this next-level wagon, setting a new standard and reshaping the way accessibility should be built into outdoor hospitality.”
Endless Approaches, Same Destination
Every property is unique, which means there’s no single solution for ADA-compliant access. That’s the beauty of this wagon–the opportunities are endless, and owners can get creative in how they design entry into the wagon. Yet no matter the path, the destination is the same: a fully ADA-compliant interior that delivers an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind elevated glamping experience.
Creative Solutions to Integrate with Your Terrain
- Ground-Level Wagon – Built closer to the ground with reduced wheel height for direct entry.
- Terrain-Adjusted Access – Use the landscape to minimize ramp length and slope.
- Wrap-Around Ramp – 36″ wide with a maximum 1:12 slope to meet ADA standards.
- Layered Porch with Ramp Access – A multi-level porch design that integrates ramping.
- Wheelchair or Stage Lift – Heavy-duty lift with at least 52″ rise capability.
Designed for Owners, Loved by Guests
“Every owner we work with is looking for ways to stand out by offering unique features and amenities,” said Shane Burns, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at PlainsCraft. “Adding an ADA-compliant wagon does exactly that. The moment a guest selects ‘wheelchair accessible’ under amenities, their unit will rise in the listings with better visibility. It’s a way to expand their audience, reduce direct competition, and demonstrate a level of hospitality that guests won’t forget.”
Crafted for Comfort and Compliance
Key features include:
- ADA-Compliant Interior – Spacious layout and accessible design.
- En Suite Bathroom Options – Designed to keep dampness and mildew out.
- Bonnetgard Insulation System – Keeps guests comfortable across seasons.
- Turnkey Structural Design – Quick installation so operators can start generating revenue faster.
- Handcrafted Quality – Built in the USA with durability and longevity in mind.
A Season of Milestones
The ADA wagon isn’t the only advancement for PlainsCraft this year. The company also introduced its new Shower House, designed to pair perfectly with the 1.2 Bath Outhouse, giving operators flexible solutions for growing properties.
In addition, PlainsCraft recently achieved ANSI 119.5 certification for its flagship wagons. This nationally recognized standard offers operators reassurance of safety, reliability, and quality. For PlainsCraft, the certification process was seamless–a reflection of the craftsmanship and durability the company has pursued since day one. With the official seal from a respected certification body, PlainsCraft’s wagons now carry the weight of recognition not only from the company’s reputation, but also by the national standards set for park models.
“These milestones open a world of opportunity for us and for our customers,” said Steinman. “When you invest in a PlainsCraft product, you’re getting more than a structure–you’re getting the peace of mind that comes with proven quality.”
Introducing a First for the Industry
The ADA-Compliant Covered Wagon will debut at Glamping Show Americas in Aurora, Colorado, giving the industry its first look at this new model. PlainsCraft will be located at Booth #700 in the Outdoor Exhibit area, where attendees are invited to join tours and walkthroughs.
“This model reflects who we are as a company–building with quality, craftsmanship, and ensuring the outdoor experience is available to more people,” Steinman said. “That’s what matters most.”
