“It was good until we lost power at around 7:00 - 8 on sat night. Then could not drain out at site Sunday morning. Still had no power.”

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 (14,625 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.
73 individual reservable campsites from Recreation.gov, checked Nov 7. Rates are the listed nightly rates.
