Watch for the white PVC pipe laying on the ground with water barely trickling out of it or you'll miss the "water source". It's really only good for desperate measures. It would take around 5 minutes to fill a 1L bottle here and you'd have to make your own pool with sticks or mud to be able to use a pump here. It's more of a trickle from a rock than a legit spring.

Good shelter with a rudimentary toilet facility. The spring is barely anything and not very reliable. If someone else hadn't found it, I would have walked right over it and thought it was a wet, muddy puddle. Water was barely trickling out of a piece of PVC pipe that was put near the "spring" to help fill bottles, but honestly, it would take 5 minutes or more to get a 1L bottle filled. It would work if you were desperate, but that about it. Decent area around the shelter for tents and there is a bear cable hang for your food here, but we didn't stay here on our trip. There was a warning for bear activity at this shelter when we walked through.

Good shelter with a lot of good flat ground around it for plenty of tent camping. The spring water source is nothing special, but it's pretty consistent and gets the job done. No outhouse (or whatever they call it) here, but there are a few trails that lead into the surrounding area to do your business. There are bear cable hangs here that are in good shape and very effective. There's also a fire ring that's somewhat close to the shelter which is convenient for hanging out close to the shelter, but could be slightly annoying to other shelter dwellers if the smoke blows into the shelter. Probably a good idea to get an ok from everyone before lighting a fire, that's what we did and it worked out well.

It is a small spring that pools in a maybe 12"x8" little spot that you can get a pump in to pump water into a container. Or there is a PVC pipe that is placed at the edge of that small puddle that drains water down the pipe where you can fill a 1L water bottle within about 45 seconds or so. Its not bad, but not great either. Gets the job done and from what I heard on the trail, its pretty consistent.
