There are more than 250 backcountry shelters and campsites along the Appalachian Trail, which are maintained by the Appalachian Trail Conservancy and its partners. These shelters are spaced approximately a day's hike apart and provide hikers with a place to sleep, rest, and get out of the weather. However, it's important to note that these shelters are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and some may be closed for maintenance or due to other issues. It's always a good idea to check with the local Appalachian Trail club or park office for up-to-date information on shelter availability and conditions
