Imp Shelter

Imp Shelter, located off White Mountain Road in Gorham, New Hampshire, provides a basic overnight option for hikers within the Campgrounds & RV Parks category. It can be reached at (603) 536-6100 or +1 603-536-6100 for general inquiries, although reservations for shelters are typically not taken, and they operate on a first-come, first-served basis for hikers.

Based on customer reviews, Imp Shelter offers a relatively large shelter that can accommodate around eight people, potentially more with a lofted platform sleeping area. In addition to the main shelter, there is one group tent platform and four smaller platforms, with the understanding that sharing the smaller platforms with another tent may be necessary, especially during peak times. A bear box is available for secure food storage.

The environment surrounding Imp Shelter is in the White Mountains, offering scenic views, particularly a "nice but not extraordinary" view from the tree opening near the cooking area and a "spectacular sunset" overlooking the mountains as noted by one reviewer. A water source was reported to be available in early September and described as "wonderful" by another visitor.

Services and features at Imp Shelter are basic, catering to backcountry hikers. These include the shelter itself, tent platforms, a bear box for food safety, and a cooking area. Bathroom facilities are not explicitly mentioned but are typically rudimentary in backcountry shelters. The shelter is described as a "welcoming place" for hikers traversing the trails, such as those between Wildcats and Carters. For local users who are experienced hikers and backpackers in the White Mountains, Imp Shelter provides a convenient overnight stopping point along the trails. It is important to note that shelters are generally shared spaces and hikers should be prepared for basic conditions. There is no specific promotional information available.
