Adirondack Shelters

The shelter and area was clean. Remember to bring your own toilet paper for the outhouse. Great morning chorus of bird songs.

All conditions as promised. Trails nearby well marked.

Hiked with my wife and 2 kids (ages 8 and 11). The trip was perfect. Just challenging enough for them and with easy road access in case it was needed. We brought a tent but were grateful for the shelter and the hikers before us who had stashed wood to dry as it began to rain during the last 30 minutes. This turned into a spectacular lightning storm at night that we piled into the tent door to watch. What a magical place,

Despite it being very rainy earlier in the week, there was dry firewood waiting for us in the shelter. It was such a nice touch when we arrived with the temperature dropping.

Definitely a 4 mile hike from Camp Round Meadow, not 3. Follow the signs for the shelters and you'll get there no problem. Some poison ivy along the trail so be sure to have your legs covered. The shelters are in great shape. There was some trash in shelter 1's outhouse because some people aren't great. Firewood was piled up by the firepit so we started a fire with that and then collected wood to restock the pile. No shortage of firewood in the area. We were joined by a doe and her fawn in the evening which was nice. Beautiful and peaceful place to camp.

These were a in perfect overnight spot, especially for those seeking an introduction to backpacking. A shelters were clean and having the toilets was a bonus.

Lovely spot in the woods. Pleasantly surprised by the latrine (one for each shelter). Only downside to shelter #2 is the carpenter bees. They didn’t bother us though and were quiet at night. Note that if you’re doing the trail from camp meadow up through Owen creek, gather all your water before the shelter. There is a creek/water way on the map that is not accessible past the shelters (if you were to continue the loop clockwise). I’d love to return!

We were happily surprised by large piles of cut wood and an outhouse. Everything was kept in good condition, and we hope to come back soon.

The site listed it was a 3-mile hike but it was 5, but other than that very nice area that had lots of fire wood

Always a great time. Such a convenient getaway. A nice length hike in and a pleasant place to stay. I always enjoy a nice fire and the bright stars at night. Great trip for a quick retreat!
