“Our hoist was friendly and helpful during our visit. We had a hard time getting contact with a person to get us a place to camp, finally worked out though.”
“Such a gem of a campground. Quiet, secluded, and very well-kept. The camp host is kind and keeps the campground and restrooms very clean. I would choose this any day over Mather for Tent camping.”
“Very calm, beautiful campsite with direct access to a "private" non-touristic viewpoint of the canyon.”

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 (23,972 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.
