Last time we stayed at a shelter it was very quiet, it was us and another couple. Make sure to bring some tarps to close the two open sides and block the wind. The water doesn't taste good so I suggest to gather water at the streams and filter it. There are toilets but they smell pretty bad. The trails we hiked weren't busy at all. We probably met a person...
