The King of the Mountain Safari Tent sits atop a rocky ridge with sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and forest. Located on 180 private acres with only three campsites on the entire property, you'll enjoy exceptional privacy and direct access to trails, streams, ponds, and endless opportunities to explore.
This spacious safari tent comfortably sleeps up to four guests with a queen bed and two additional cots. Please bring your own sheets, blankets, pillows, and other bedding.
Unlike traditional camping, the tent is equipped with solar power, providing interior lighting, two electrical outlets for charging devices, a refrigerator, and an electric cooktop. Outside, you'll find a covered deck, picnic table, hammock, charcoal grill, and a private fire pit perfect for evenings under the stars. We'll provide your first bundle of firewood, and additional wood can often be gathered from the surrounding property.
A composting toilet and rainwater collection system are available onsite. Please note that the water is non-potable, so guests should bring their own drinking and cooking water.
The drive to the campsite is steep and rugged. A high-clearance 4WD vehicle is strongly recommended for driving directly to the site.
Pets are welcome. Wildlife, insects, and changing weather conditions are all part of the mountain experience, making this the perfect destination for guests seeking a genuine connection with nature while still enjoying a few modern comforts.
A high-clearance 4WD vehicle is recommended for driving directly to the campsite. Guests without 4WD can park along the gravel road on the property and enjoy a scenic 1/4-mile hike to the site.
We had a great time, we enjoyed the peace of the nature so much. The view was beautiful. Just make sure to bring a fan if you come during summer because it gets really hot during the day, at night it cools down. And as the host said in the description bring a lifted 4WD so you won’t have trouble going up to the site, besides that I give it a 5 stars. It was as expected.
it an amazing place for a peaceful family get away
It was as described. It was tough for me to locate, the tent two sign was between two gravel roads and I took the wrong one first. Then there’s a fork near the tent site and I took the wrong one and ended up at the wrong tent site. Finally backtracked and took the right fork to drive to the site.
It was nice during my trip to NC. Hiking up the tent was nice and fun and the view is incredible. Would go again and the price is really nice
Loved this last minute getaway ! Was able to disconnect from the world and enjoy the simple things ! Will definitely return
Thankful we got found this spot, on short notice. It took us a little while to cool down, but once it was dark and cool, it was solid. Thomas was on top of instructions and responded promptly. I’d encourage bringing a little fan in the warmer months.
Thank you for the stay, comfortable bed, would be helpful to have toilet paper and instructions for the stove and map of how to get around.
