How much is it to stay at the Hut in between the Wildcats and Carters? and also, are there any campsites before it?

Carter Notch Hut, like all the AMC huts, runs roughly $100/night, but it changes depending on which day you are looking for. Which way are you headed? There's not much terrain suitable for camping in either direction along the AT, but there are sites once you get past 1/4 mile down the Wildcat River Trail (?).
IIRC, there was an established, hardened site on the Wildcard River Trail a but past the Ramparts spur. I think it's within the 1/4 mile, so it might be technically illegal (not 100%, but I recall thinking that it was probably popular with thru-hikers). After that site, it drops off pretty steeply, so it might be difficult to find one without going down a few hundred vertical feet to where it levels off again.
