Camping in the Brenta?

Hi all,
Is it possible to sleep in a bivy sack in the Brenta, somewhere near a hut? But also, to go buy dinners at the hut? I ask because somewhere (on the internets :oops: ) I read about a primitive camp area near a hut.

Thanks!

Camping is not allowed in Parco Naturale Adamello-Brenta. I don't know whether it is tolerated in some places.

Normally near Brentei and Pedrotti it was possible.
Near Pedrotti there's also a lot of sites, in carsic holes, where to spend the night

Camping is not allowed, only an emergency bivy. But the huts are more comfortable, why do you want to camp and use the hut for dinner?

Okay, I actually thought I read somewhere that there was camping near a hut, and that's what gave me the idea.

I wanted to do it only because I worried that I couldn't get a hut reservation at such a late date. But now some bad weather is coming, and I need to play it by ear, when and where we go. Thanks for the info all!

Just to post some info:

1) I did have a problem getting a place in a hut. In fact, I got a place for Friday night, but Saturday night nothing. I called every hut from the Brentai hut, and no one would give me a place :-(.

2) You _can_ camp in a little camping area next to the Brentai hut. It might be somewhat unofficial, but it is allowed. We saw two tents. I wish I'd known that, I would have brought my sleeping bag so I could stay Saturday night too!

All the best!

How did I know that Brenta was going to respond to this?!
