About

Camp on the Open Prairie Camping at Ingalls Homestead is a unique way to experience the prairie. All sights are located on the land Charles Ingalls homesteaded. With just a handful of sites - 4 covered wagons, 1 bunkhouse, 4 RV sites, and tent camping - the prairie doesn't feel crowded.

Fee Info

Covered Wagons - $60/night Our covered wagons are based after a sheepherder's wagon and come in two sizes, large or small. Cost is $60/night regardless of the size. All wagons have electricity, screened windows, a small fan, a campfire ring, and a picnic table. You must provide your own linens and pillows.

The large covered wagon sleeps five and includes one full-size mattress, two mats (approximately 2'x5') on platforms built into the wagon and a roll out mat for the floor (approximately 3'x6').

The small covered wagon sleeps three and includes one double-size mat (approximately 4'x6') and a roll out mat for the floor (approximately 3'x6').

Bunkhouse - $60/night If you'd like a bit more space or a real roof over your head, the bunkhouse is an excellent option. It is a simple one-room building that sleeps six and includes a full-size mattress and two sets of twin-size bunkbeds. The bunkhouse has electricity, a small refrigerator, a small microwave, a table and chairs, a campfire ring, and a picnic table. You must provide your own linens and pillows.

All sites are back-in; we do not have any pull-through sites. While we do not offer sewer connections the sites, there is a dump station in our parking lot.

Tent Camping - $10/night Our tent camping is simple. We do not have specified sites. Rather, you choose your own spot in the camping area. The camping fee includes use of the bathroom and shower facilities. Since we do not offer specified sites, tent camping does not include electricity.
