Well, the problem with shelters and campsites near the Presidentials 
is that they are waaaaaaay down the side of the mountains.  At least 
1000 ft and sometimes 1500 ft.  I find it really depressing in the 
morning to climb 1500 ft just to get back to where I was the evening
before.

I stayed at Lakes of the Crowds and Madison Springs huts when I 
section-hiked that area.
