    "Nice Shelter; inside has a somewhat low height. Table and bench near the shelter. Nice spring nearby. Campsites near the shelter for tents."

    "Wonderful funky looking shelter. But the swing made it great. The spring is maybe 20 feet from the shelter and it was nice to listen to while falling to sleep. "
