Parking is allowed there. And, I don't remember ever even hearing of a 
Deep Gap Shelter there. The first one north of EG is Thomas Knob to the 
best of my recollection. And, I remember not a campsite...but, I don't 
not remember one, either. Some pix of this section (from a few years 
ago) can be found at  http://felixhikes.tripod.com/AT/MtRogersTrip.html
