wiring harness for trailer

I have a 99 f-150, 4x4 with a 4.6 in a xcab that has the towing package on it from the factory(supposedly). My question is there a plug in type kit for hooking up trailer lights? I went to O'reilly's and also looked at wally world but to no avail. If there is one available, where do I look and does it just plug into the regular wiring harness? How much $? Need to something fairly soon cuz the Boss (wife) wants to go to Bluegrass concert in Tx and pull a small camper, have a good reciever hitch but no light hookup. Help!!

If it does have the tow package, all the wiring should be there and there should be a plug under the bumper for it. If not, you can go to the auto parts store and buy a T-connector that fits into the wiring harness connector for the taillights, where it splits off into left and right sides under the bed and that will give you a 4-flat connector with the lights only (no elect brakes, backup lights or battery charge). They are about 25 bucks and the brand I see most of out here is Reese TowPower.
