“We have been camping at this location many years. We love the peaceful nature of the site. They need to be stricter on enforcement of quiet times and people playing music during the day. The camp hosts were overstretched covering 3 sites. ”

“We've been to Covered Bridge Campground many times and it is our all time favorite! Clean, secluded sites, quiet, conveniently located!”

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 (7,663 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.
