These are very basic structures that you use the campground shower and restroom facility. We provide the bedding, towels and a small space heater to take the chill off. Your camping experience is not complete without and evening around your private campfire. Daily maid service is not included.
Covered Wagon Relive the spirit of the Old West in one of our covered wagons! The creek side units are very rustic, are not heated and you use the campground shower and restroom facility. They have one double bed. Enjoy a campfire in your fire ring, and your meal on the picnic table provided. Linens are not included, but are available for an additional fee.

LegendHow about staying in a covered wagon?!
We stopped here to eat dinner and since the sign said campground, of course, I inquired further. Not really a campground but what the owners called an outdoor experience.
There are two covered wagons but since they were both occupied, we could not see inside of them. They have a double bed (linens provided for an extra cost) and no heat. There is also a five-room motel and 12 cabins, some of which have kitchenettes and some without.
The bathhouse was small but clean. The trout project was interesting (Started in 2006 to improve Bridgeport area fisheries. The family that owns the Settlement continues to hatch and raise trout specifically to plant in Virginia Creek as a thank you to the anglers that support them. It is a non-profit that is supported by people eating in their restaurant and staying on their property). There is corn-hole, a horseshoe pit, and a fish cleaning station on-site as well as a Tesla charging station!
The settlement is located directly on Virginia Creek on Highway 395. We’ve stayed in a variety of accommodations but never a covered wagon – it would definitely be a unique stay but would have to be when it is warmer!
