This shelter is SMALL, with two bunks and floor space. The privy is a compost privy which makes it nice. Water is a hump back up the trail and then back down where you just climbed up. I like to think that this shelter is more of a rest area where you eat your lunch or take a break. But the solitude of the shelter is surely a possibility.
Heading North you will have crossed a stream before your climb and on the other side of the stream was a camp ground... If you tent that is your best bet at level ground.
