“Well even tho we had to experience a horrible thunderstorm we still had fun.”

Anita M 4 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Lead Hill is one of my favorite campgrounds. It unfortunately was flooded most of the summer because of heavy rains earlier in the year, so we only camped there once this year. It is a very beautiful campground.”

Ronda A 5 · Sep 2025 · Recreation.gov

“This is a beautiful park on the lake, however as a result of the recent high water levels, a significant portion of the park is not open. We love this park and try to camp there every year at least once. ”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (8,289 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
