Planning to do the Newfound Gap to Pigeon River section in about 3 weeks, and pretty excited to be able to tent around the shelters instead of "sleep" with the mice inside. Not afraid of mice, but they just tend to keep me awake all night. We've got reservations at Icewater Springs, Tricorner Knob and Davenport Gap (will probably just go on to the car instead of stopping at Davenport for the night). I've looked at photos of all three shelters, and it looks to me like there are not a lot of good tent sites to be had at these three locations. Photos just show the shelter and immediate area around it, so it's hard to tell. Can anyone tell me if this is the case or not?
