Who doesn’t remember the iconic game The Oregon Trail? We all experienced it—guiding your brave crew of settlers across rugged terrain, fending off dangers, and inevitably losing a few folks to dysentery. Well, we’ve got good news: covered wagon camping at Timberroot is nothing like that. Sure, you’ll step into a covered wagon just like the pioneers of old, but with Timberroot, you get all the adventure and none of the ailments.
Let’s explore what makes covered wagon camping the perfect blend of nostalgia, comfort, and outdoor fun.
Embrace Your Pioneer Spirit (Without the Dysentery)
Our covered wagons bring you back to the days of early settlers. Except here, you’ve got luxury bedding, Wi-Fi, and a private bathhouse instead of river crossings that steal all your oxen.
Picture waking up to the sunrise from your cozy bed, brewing coffee in your wagon kitchenette, and enjoying a day of adventure without worrying about fording rivers or catching, well, anything.
Timberroot’s covered wagons offer a range of amenities that would make any pioneer jealous, including:
- Luxury bedding (no hard ground here)
- Eco-friendly temperature control (no freezing nights or sweltering days)
- A private bathhouse (because we all know how the game usually ends without one)
It’s the best of both worlds: adventure on the outside, comfort on the inside.
Our Covered Wagons
Our wagons are more than just charming. Each one has its own story and unique vibe, perfect for every kind of adventurer.
Old Copper Trail Wagon
Step into history with the Old Copper Trail Wagon. Inspired by the historic route that once carried copper through Tennessee, this wagon pairs old-world charm with modern comforts. Unlike the game, there’s no risk of a broken axle here—just a comfy king bed, a mini-fridge, and a microwave to make your stay easy and enjoyable.
The Pioneer Wagon
Feel like embracing your inner adventurer? The Pioneer Wagon is ready for you. With a spacious layout, bunk beds for the kids, and a plush king bed for you, it’s ideal for families who want to experience all the fun of the pioneer days without any of the hassle.
Caney Creek Wagon
Named after the beautiful Caney Creek, this wagon lets you feel like a true trailblazer—but with amenities the pioneers could only dream of. Think temperature control, a private outdoor dining pavilion, and the sounds of nature all around. The only thing “rough” about this camping experience is deciding which wagon to stay in.
Activities That’ll Make You Feel Like a True Pioneer
When you stay in one of Timberroot’s covered wagons, you’re not just getting a cool place to sleep—you’re stepping into a full outdoor adventure.
Campfires & Stargazing
Gather around the community fire pit to toast marshmallows and swap stories under the stars. The night sky here is perfect for stargazing.
Swimming, Fishing & Boating
Welcome Valley Village is bordered by the Ocoee River, opening the door to tubing, kayaking, swimming, and fishing. Drop a line off the dock or bring your boat along—it’s all part of the experience.
Explore the Trails
Take a stroll along the forest trails that wind through the 17-acre property. With the sound of the river in the background, it’s an easy way to reconnect with nature.

To help you enjoy your stay to the fullest, here are a few simple tips—no survival manual required:
- Pack for comfort: Bring comfy shoes, sunscreen, bug spray, snacks, and a good book.
- Bring firewood & fun: Add firewood to your reservation or bring certified firewood to keep campfires going.
