A covered wagon that converts into an easy set-up platform tent. The wagon comprises a wheel supported wagon bed and an inverted U shaped frame structure. Four side panels are mounted by hinges to the wagon bed and are held in a vertical position by a latch on each of the four joining corners. The inverted U shaped frame structure is mounted to the side panels by hinges and supports the tent enclosure over the wagon bed. Support legs are mounted by hinges on the exterior edge of the four side panels. To convert the covered wagon into a platform tent the corner latches are manually released to allow all four side panels to drop open to a horizontal position and rest on the support legs, the legs simultaneously swing out to a 90 degree angle to support the side panels and create the platform for the platform tent.
