This shelter is just a few miles N of the Nolichucky River and Uncle Johnny's and other places to stay. Seemd from the register that no one stays the night there much, but I did, on March 31, alone, after stopping at Uncle J's for a shower and a few 40¢ snickers bars. Pretty spot right on the trail. You can hear the train from there, otherwise quiet and peaceful. Water source is a small pooled spring that I had to clear out, but the water was good once it settled. No privy. Picnic table in front (I moved it back under the overhang cause it looked like rain again) and firepit. I didn't see anywhere to camp near the shelter, except one spot up the hill that was surrounded by widow-makers--hiker's roulette to sleep there. But there are nice camping spots just a ways north up the Trail.
