From here, you can take the trail to the site of the Hoovers' first night's stay at their new camp. Originally, "Five Tents" was just that: five army tents on wooden platforms. From this vantage point, the Hoovers planned their retreat. Despite eventually becoming a wood-sided much more permanent structure, the building retained its original name. "Five Tents" was one of the ten structures removed during the 1960s renovations. The fireplace remains mark the location of the former building about 200 yards up the trail - a bit of a climb, but a beautiful reminder of lively times at Rapidan Camp.
