Weekend Trip to Hidden CLT Wilderness

Had a great experience! Miranda was very helpful and responsive with any questions. There was even s'mores provided (although I had preemptively brought s'mores equipment with me lol). Wonderful experience, would stay again!

1 night at Hidden CLT Wilderness

Perfect for a trip to Charlotte (~30min away) w/ my partner and dog! The bed in the camper was comfy, bathroom/shower/kitchen was clean, and the site itself was very cute! The host was kind enough to set up the fire pit (after the rain) for us while we stepped out, and was very easy to reach & accommodating! I appreciated that there was a tree tether by the fire pit for my curious dog, which made it so we could enjoy our time by the fire without having to hold her leash. The host also left bottled water which we also appreciated being on the go! It’s the small things that all add up :)

We enjoyed our stay in Miranda's camper. Our kids loved the experience of sleeping in a camper, ample enough for a family of 4. We enjoyed the marshmallows Miranda had left for us to enjoy by the fire, that was graciously ready with firewood. The location is great as well, near to all the stores in Denver.

This was my first ever glamping experience and i couldn’t be more happy about it. This camper is in a quiet wooded neighborhood. Absolutely beautiful inside and out. Miranda and her husband(whose name i cannot remember for the life of me) were perfect hosts! They thought of absolutely everything to make my stay cozy and relaxing. Even when i had silly questions, her response time was very quick and she helped with anything needed. I also had my dog with me and even she said this was 5 stars. Definitely would recommend!

I incredible venue and even better hosts. Highly recommend for anyone looking to have a secluded weekend with the option of having a night out on the town. The spot is dog friendly with plenty of space to roam.
