Basically lux for an AT shelter

Extremely well maintained! In addition to the shelter there’s a bear box, picnic table and modeling toilet. The privy is very clean and well maintained. Lots of dispersed camping sites, and space to spread out. Some uneven terrain and rocks. The toilet really made it for me! Even had hand sanitizer! It’s within 15 mins NOBO of the park office where there is a 24:7 bathroom with sink and trash, and a fresh water spigot outside. Right now there’s also a box of socks at the shelter- trail magic!
