There are a total of 22 tourist sites on the territory of the Park, receiving visitors, including 20 huts and 6 shelters, which are managed by tourist companies of the Bulgarian Tourist Board, some of which are leased, rented or otherwise managed. The condition of the sites is satisfactory, with a trend towards their constant improvement. Two of the huts are currently non-functional. These are "Nezabravka" and "Planinski Izvori".

The main tourist service offered in the huts is overnight accommodation. Many of the huts and shelters offer tea, coffee, dry snacks and other goods. All huts have a canteen, but not all of them always offer cooked food.
