There are four shelters available to rent year round, Mountain Top, East Glad, Valley View and Open Slope. These shelters are three sided, offer privacy, require a hike of over a mile with all your gear and have an outhouse nearby. Only one group is allowed to stay at a shelter at one time. You can use your own tent, but you must be near a shelter in order to use an outhouse. No rescue service is available except for 911.
Shelter use is by reservation only, Wapack hikers are not allowed to enter the shelters or the Windblown trail network unless renting. No day use. Thank you for your cooperation.

Firewood
There is an additional charge of $20 if you want to have an outdoor fire in the firepit. Because of fire danger you need prior permission for an outdoor fire when there is no snow on the ground.
There is no extra charge for wood used in the woodstove at East Glade and firewood is available at the shelter. Please carefully read the information about fire safety and operating the woodstove at the bottom of this page.
Parking
Campers can leave a car overnight in the designated area near the lodge. Park between the yellow signs that say "Overnight Parking".
Please note that the lodge is now a private residence and only tenant parking is allowed next to the former lodge and areas designated "Private Parking" by the outhouses.
Water
Potable water is available outside of the lodge to the left of Ski Shop entrance and water is available in season from the stream coming down the east side of Barrett Mountain.
Finding the Shelters
There is no one employed at the ski shop to direct you, you must be able to find shelters and huts with the map provided in the Waxing Shed which has routes highlighted in red.
