Just read Philip Werner (Sectionhiker.com) SNP journal and was surprised by the statement that the tenting in SNP on the AT was all but impractical. He stated the spaces near the huts were to rocky, slopped and tiny! I contacted him and he confirmed his account and said if he went back he would hammock... not an option for us, but was disappointed because I really dislike shelters/huts.

I was hoping to find tenting options away from the huts but wonder if anyone else can lend any information. We have a large 4 person backpacking tent...we wanted room but I suspect we might have to leave our teepee home and take our one/two person tent. What say ye?
