You've never "glamped" like this before!! The Band Wagon is a real covered wagon located on a peaceful stretch of the beautiful Ocoee River and situated inside the private gates of Ocoee Riverside Farm. Whether you are looking for a waterside retreat or a fun-filled vacation, The Band Wagon is sure to fit the bill! Want to add more to your vacation? Consider our "Stay Here, Play Here” animal encounters which can be found right here on our website!

-The space While The Band 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 campside 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 Riverside 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 that shampoo, conditioner, and body wash has been provided. 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 enjoy a shared, two-level deck, with additional riverfront seating as well as 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.

Folks, it's absolutely wonderful there! I stayed in one of the covered wagons: perfect. What I REALLY want to tell you about though, is the owners, Mr John and Mrs Donna: Not only were they there to help with anything you might need (always a call away), John (retired Navy) took time, from feeding the animals, to sit around the fire and chat with me. I also got to speak with Donna about some of the things they do, throughout the year, as a part of the community in Benton, that bring folks there together (DEFINITELY worth asking about). I can't say enough about how good it was for me to get a taste of what's happening there. Go see it for yourselves! OH, and don't forget to ask Donna about the soaps they have that are made by a young lady there in town: so good, it might even change you for the better... ...it sure did me (they can tell you). Thanks for a FANTASTIC stay and I can't WAIT to bring my whole family next time!
