Reviews
This backcountry shelter along the Appalachian Trail offers a basic yet functional stop for hikers, with the shelter itself in good condition. Reviewers appreciate its suitability for a night’s stay during long hikes, but note that the water source can be unreliable, especially during dry spells. The tent sites are somewhat slanted, and the lack of views and amenities like a bear box may deter some campers. Overall, it's a decent option for those trekking the AT but not recommended as a weekend destination.
