“We loved our site # 61...which was a total gamble made on line...but the view of the spectacular granite mtns right out our Class A window was fabulous! We will be back and stay at #61 again! But the "creme de le creme" was finding Convict Lake Restaurant!!”

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 (27,081 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.
