It's a laid-back, wholesome atmosphere where most of the outdoor activities are designed for the WHOLE family to enjoy together. It's like going back to a simpler time, with a rustic, western theme, but using some new & unique activities. There's mini golf, gem mining, wagon rides, and target galleries for paintball & air-soft BBs. No one gets shot at - you shoot at ghost town targets. Both kids and adults love those activities. "Just for kids" includes the bounce castle, the mini truck and dune buggy tracks, and the free playground. There's NO ADMISSION FEE. There's shady picnic areas and an inspirational nature park. Camping, RV sites, and lodging are on site. It's a great place for families, church groups, schools, family reunions, and couples looking for a secluded getaway in a beautiful mountain setting. « less

We have been out to Wagonmaster on many occasions. It is fun for a spectrum of ages and so affordable. We are from the Orlando area and most "parks" are expensive. So when our 7 yr. old grandaughter came up to NC, we took her to WM. She had a ball!!! The only little problem was that she wanted to... More

Wagonmaster Adventure Ranch is a breathe of fresh air in an surprisingly accessible and beautiful location. The owners are extremely helpful and friendly and do everything in their power to make for a fun-filled family time. Our church recently held an outdoor picnic at the ranch and couldn't have asked for a better experience. We grilled hot dogs, huddled by... More

My church family from Zion Hill Baptist Church spent the fall break with our families at this Adventure Ranch and Campground. Though I could only visit during the evening hours, due to my work, my husband, grandchildren and myself found it totally amazing as being so close to home but yet so isolated. The children as well as adults had... More
