“The campsite manager was very helpful. There was access to well water. Pretty views. ”
“It rained, not your fault. But, all of the sites are muddy if it rains. The camp host didn't clean and freshen the toilets. There was still paper on the floor from the first day we arrived. And, the toilets stunk badly. We moved to a different campground.”

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 (3,304 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.
