“Cottonshed Park is a hidden gem and I am glad we found it. Very nice, well kept park. And it was also very quiet. Enjoyed seeing the alligators in the lake. The only downside was the road going in to the park. Cottenshed Lane needs a lot of work. ”

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 (6,389 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.
