“The tent pad wasn't big enough for even a small tent. The site was really small too. We had to leave, because we couldn't fit our tent. I asked for a refund and they refused. They don't have good customer service.”
“Very friendly campground is GREAT! Rangers and hosts are the best!! One of our favorite campgrounds ”
“Great campground! The music center is a must see. ”

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 (5,412 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.
