“Rangers need to patrol more often as there are none equestrian campers staying in equestrian spots that should not be allowed. We work hard on our trails and equestrian people want to come, but they can’t because it’s full.”

Bill J 4 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Clean campground. Easy parking. Fairly good marked trails.”

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 (2,625 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.
