We stayed at this shelter on Friday, May 14th, 2021. The shelter is pretty new. We liked the shelter. It really needs a bear box to store your food. We saw bear skat just a few miles away. That night we searched for a long time to find a tree to hang our food. We didn't really find any good trees, so we did the best we could. We liked that it had a privy (outhouse/restroom). The other issue we had was that we had a lot of visitors throughout the night that kept waking us up. We had a couple come in at 10:00 PM, setup a tent and then break down and leave at 3:00 AM. Then we had people going up to see the sunrise at 5:00 AM wake us up again with kids shouting and laughing. Just be aware that this site will have a lot of traffic due to the close proximity of the parking lot for McAfee Knob.
