Experience & practicality
Two transparent read-time scores. Unknown facts never count for or against a place, and a score is never used as filter evidence.
Experience
Published recreation and setting.
5.6/ 10
Documented depth: 9 of 16 evidence weight, from 5 published facts. A low number means little is published, not that the place is poor.
Why
- Hiking
- Swimming
- Water nearby
- Wildlife watching
- Horseback riding
Practicality
Published logistics: access, cost, facilities.
9.1/ 10
91% of the 20 published facts are positive, scaled by how much is documented (100% of the 16-weight target). High data coverage · 7 still unpublished. A thin record reads low because little is published, not because the place is poor.
Why
- Camping is published as allowed
- 2WD passable
- Paved or gravel access road
- Restroom
- Drinking water
- Cell service

Fully supported: both dimensions earned a score from 25 published facts.
Methodology nmr-score-3.0.0. Park-level activities feed Experience only; campsite facts feed Practicality only. Experience measures how much recreation and setting evidence is published; Practicality is the published positive share scaled by how much of the logistics catalogue has been documented, so a handful of positives can no longer read 10/10. Unknown is never treated as a no. Neither dimension is used to filter search results, and “Best” ordering ranks fully supported records above partially supported ones.

Fee notes from Recreation.gov
Water Hookup Fee: The Utility fee is imposed on all lodging and camping products to defer the higher cost of providing water and sewer in the remote locations in which we operate. The amount of this fee is determined by taking the difference in the cost of providing these services less the comparable cost of similar services in local areas. This fee is reviewed annually and approved by the National Park Service.
Free text as published. It is never converted into a nightly price.
