“We love Indian Boundary - just wish we had discovered it years sooner than we did. We have camped there 5 times since May. New natural wonders to enjoy each season.”

RICHARD J 5 · Oct 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Always a great place to camp, but especially in October. Beautiful fall foliage. A good place to just “be”. Thanks.”

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 (34,190 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.
