    "Decent shelter. Contrary to another reviewer's statement, it is just NORTH of the Three Ridges Wilderness area .... Excellent tent sites. Water source was very low in September, 07."

    "Adequate, clean shelter, just south of the Three Ridges Wilderness Area. Nice spring just behind shelter.

    A fairly easy 21-mile hike to Rockfish Gap."

    "Very clean, very well maintained. Newer privy than other's I've seen. Very close to BRP so I guess it's easier to maintain. Tons of established sites in addition to the shelter. Close to Mau Har Trail, an excellent little hike. Only rated a 4 b/c the spring behind the shelter was really low and covered with leaves when we passed thru there."
