“Nice place to camp. Shower was nice but could be warmer. Need of heat”
“Always a worthwhile trip to the bay. Alleghany is a national treasure!”
“Hemlock 59 was a great site with a easy slope down to the bay—even though there was no water in it due to the drought!”

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 (19,192 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.
