      - A rock shelter is a shallow cave-like opening at the base of a
      bluff or cliff<br>
      <br>
      and that looks to fit perfectly! <br>
      <br>
      I'd not tag them as camp sites, let people evaluate them and the
      surrounds themselves for camping rather than suggest a place. <br>
