Is there tenting space at roaring for? I have a Hilleberg nallo 2gt, takes a little room to set up but well worth the space inside :)
Secondly,
how would a saturday-sunday trip from hotsprings to SBH( standing Bear Hostel) be? pretty enjoyable section?

There are several tent pads around the shelter, so you shouldn't have a problem. That section is one of my favorites!

Yes, tent space at Roaring Fork. Not a huge field or anything but it can accommodate tents. Like many places on the AT there is considerable bear activity there. It should be a nice hike from HS to SBH if the weather is nice but you have the very exposed Max Patch area in that section and if the weather is bad, expect hell when trying to cross that bald.

Keep a clean camp and use the bear cables
Yep, you should have no problems finding a tent site.
Great section!! Enjoy your trip.
