About
US Forest Service campground. This shelter and accompanying tent sites is located on a spur path at 4,360 ft. off the Bondcliff Trail between Mt. Guyot (pronounced Gee - O) and Mt. Bond at the edge of the Pemigewasset Wilderness. It is 0.6 miles from the Twinway Trail (Appalachain Trail). The open log shelter accommodates approximately 12 people with six additional tent platforms. There is a spring for water that may be unreliable in the summer months. A caretaker is in charge during the summer months. This site is often crowded for much of the summer months, particularly weekends. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
