Never heard of that shelter. But if there are trees, you can probably find a place to hang. This is not the desert.
It is on private property, I guess a nearby resident is hiker-friendly so he built a tiny shelter on his property. Not having ever been there, I didn't know if it was in a field, or maybe the owner doesn't want to risk tree damage caused by hammockers that don't use tree huggers.Quote:

it is very close to a road though, if that bothers you.. They also have a new designated campsite on Lamentation Mountain that isn't in any guides yet and probably not listed online. No privy at either site.
