“This campground is very peaceful. The host was attentive. The views are limited but the sound of the stream running along the campground provides a unique ambiance. ”
“This is one of our favorite campgrounds! The trees and steam are beautiful. Eddy is such a pleasant campground host. Always friendly interactions as if we’ve known him forever. The bathrooms are always kept as clean as can be.”
“Someone was in my lot when I arrived at 1:30. They were supposed to be gone by 12 noon. The camp host was not at the campground that day. I had to sit and wait for those in my lot for 30min for them to leave.”

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 (3,967 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.
