Gren Anderson shelter
 

This is a wooden shelter nicely situated in a clearing on a side trail, about .2 west of the AT. There is a picnic table. Water is downhill 200 feet. Didn't see a privy. No bunks, but raised floor is big enough to sleep eight. Looked nice and clean. The one-way scenic road called Sunrise Highway is just below the shelter, you can see it through the trees. It is lightly traveled and no overnight parking is allowed on it. Hitches to Culver's Gap (3 miles) wouldn't work, as the traffic is northbound only.

Privy Not Private
 

its a box to the right and behind the shelter. its not secluded at all. most use it during the night or are brave to let it all hang out.

I liked this shelter, the natural spring at the shelter is extremely clean cool water... the privy is as stated pretty out in the open but its not a big deal, tons of room around the shelter for setting up camp as well. The shelter is close but not too close to a road but I thought this was good cause rangers seem to monitor this shelter a bit more than others because of it... There is a lil place that sells sandwiches and soda right off rt 206 not to far from the shelter as well. good place to grab some real food

Stayed here over the weekend of 8/21/2009. Very clean, nice surroundings, and a one way road that leads out of the Stokes State Forest should you so desire to leave. Probably room enough to squeeze eight. There is a large metal bear box about 50 yards away. A picnic table too. There are also some nice camping spots behind the shelter, and next to the AT where the trail to get to the shelter intersects. A really nice water source about 75-100 yards away. Granted it was raining when we got there, the mosquitoes seemed not as bad as the rest of the area surrounding. No privies to be seen... crap in the woods on this one! :)
