About This Hut
Rieveley Pond Hut is nestled in a forest setting with a spacious cleared area that provides a brighter, more open feeling than many other forest campgrounds. Named after the nearby pond, this tranquil spot is best known for its soothing chorus of frogs. The semi-enclosed hut is a popular overnight destination for hikers traveling between Manzanita Bluffs and Shinglemill Pub, as it sits roughly halfway between the two.
