Are there any campsites between the Maupin and Paul Wolfe shelters? Thanks.

This is an old post, so I bet your have your answer, but...

After you cross the BRP at dripping rock (water), you go about 1/4 mile out onto a cliff. Off away from said cliff there are tent sites among the rocks and scrub. I always thought it would be a really nice camp, but I've never been through there at the right time. Well, once I was, but there was already a group there, and I like a little more privacy.

It's about 4 miles to Maupin from there, I think.

There is a blue-blazed trail (seems to me about 0.3 mi. total) that connects the AT and the picnic area south of Humpback Mt.

Along that trail I've found some campsites in the past...nothing official or marked but useable. Get your water and use the rest rooms (in-season) at the picnic area. But don't camp in the picnic area--it is patrolled regularly and you'll get busted.
