Home on the range!
While “The Chuck Wagon” doesn’t really much resemble the wagons used on cattle drives in the mid 1800’s, we thought it would be fun to spotlight this piece of history as the wagons were often referred to as “home on the range” by the cattle drivers whom fondly saw it as the only home they ever really knew.
Located at the far end of our stretch of river, The Chuck Wagon is more remotely situated than the other wagons since no one will need to drive past your wagon on the way to their own. This wagon mirrors The Band Wagon with regard to amenities which include central heat and A/C, a king sized bed, a set of bunks, a wagon wheel table and chairs, a two door mini fridge/freezer, a convection microwave, a Keurig Duo and luxury linens.
Our Band Wagon guests will also receive a key to their own private bathroom located in the brand new Ocoee Riverside Bathhouse. Built to have the look and feel of an older riverside cabin, your bathroom inside the bathhouse offers modern day conveniences with a rustic touch. You will find a copper pot basin atop of barn door vanity, a pull chain high tank toilet, and a barn metal shower that features an exhaust fan and blue tooth speakers inside the overhead light. The entire bath house is heated and cooled and each private bathroom is also equipped with its own overhead heat lamp.
Outside we have outfitted your private campsite with 4 fireside chairs, picnic table, charcoal grill, stone ring fire-pit, set of roasting forks, grilled sandwich presses, and a complete set of cast iron cookware.
History tells us that evenings gathered round the chuck wagons were also special times and it is our hope that you create your own special memories as well.

The space
While The Chuck Wagon is reminiscent of a much more primitive time in American history you will not have to go without modern-day luxuries. Your wagon is equipped with central heat and air, a king-size bed, a set of bunks, a wagon wheel table, and chairs, a two-door mini fridge/freezer, a convection microwave, a Keurig Duo, and luxury linens. Outside we have also outfitted your campsite with a stone-ring fire pit surrounded by 4 Adirondack chairs, a picnic table, a charcoal grill, and a complete set of cast iron cookware. We also provide a starter supply of disposable plates, bowls, cups, and cutlery. Just steps away you will enjoy the privacy of your own full bath inside the Ocoee River Bath House which also offers central heat and air. Your private bathroom will come with its own keyed entrance so no need to carry toiletries back and forth from the wagon. Speaking of toiletries; you will find shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided in your bathroom. The private bath itself features a vintage replica high tank toilet, vanity with copper pot basin, a heat lamp, luxury towels, and a stand-up shower with blue tooth speaker to enjoy all your favorite tunes while you wash your worries away. Hand soap, toilet paper and tissues are also provided. Behind the bathhouse, you will also enjoy a shared two-level deck with additional riverfront seating and a gas grill with side burner.
Some special spaces on the farm, for the common enjoyment of all of our guests, include our Riverfront and Swan Pond Gazebos, the children's log cabin playhouse, as well as our playground located across from the covered wagons. Our boat ramp, located at the end of the main driveway, offers easy access to the river should you decide to take a cool dip or splash around with the kids.
