Tent 3 I call “ Bambi’s Playground”. When I first discovered it I approached it from the trail going from the ponds through the forest on the ridge of the mountain. That trail itself is very beautiful in its serenity and then this charming meadow opened up, and the famous animation came to my mind. Bright cheerful clearing in the woods would be a perfect place for Bambi to play.
The stay at this location is magical. Walk from the pond to the campsite in the woods on mountain ridge. This remote location is pure and beautiful. There is plenty of room to have a small event. Or just be by yourself and enjoy .
This Tent is very remote, so I do not mind if you have a party there or and event. This place is just for you, your friends and family to enjoy and have fun. Just be respectful and safe. The closest house from you is about a mile away. Phone connection is very spotty to non-existent.
The Tent itself is a large luxury Tent that has four beds ( cots).
The Tent sits on a deck on a hillside facing the meadow.
Off the deck there is a large picnic area with fire pit and picnic table. The Meadow itself is relatively flat for the mountain. And large enough to play games or have an event.
The toilet and the shower cabin, are behind the Tent. The toilet is called “Poo-Pee” toilet, because of its eco-friendly design. The shower is an outdoor shower.
The dirt road leading to the tent is newly rebuilt and it is accessible by a regular car. (Although low clearance fancy car might lose the bumper).
Besides the Tent itself you have 180 acres of land to roam around. Hiking trails, Fishing pond. Mountain views.
The civilization in the form of the town of Lenoir is about 12 miles away. There you can find all regular brand shops, fast food restaurants etc.
The town of Hickory offers more choices and also a very large lake with several marinas, where you can get a boat.
There is a Tennis court in a community park about 10 minutes away by car.
Asheville is about 1.5 hr away to the West and Charlotte is about 1.5 hr away to the East.
The nearest airport is Concord Regional Airport, 115 km from the accommodation.
