forest hideout

Sylvan secret shelter

A forest hideout is a concealed shelter or refuge located within wooded terrain, typically used to evade detection.

The term appears in adventure stories, video games, and historical accounts of outlaws or resistance fighters: The bandits retreated to their forest hideout.

It suggests both remoteness and natural camouflage—a place deliberately difficult to find.
