“Extremely clean sites, sadly the water level was low, but that's not the campsites fault. The park host was very attentive of the visitor and made daily rounds to check on folks. The bathroom were clean and usable. I would recommend Union Grove as a site to visit”

“Beautiful campground and friendly and helpful staff.”

diana b 5 · Jun 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Sites unlevel unless you back in as far as you can. No shade. Huge site with amazing views and space between sites. Cleanest athrooms we have seen at a COE. Camp host friendly and informative.”

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 (16,410 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.
