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.

—/ 10

Not enough data. Only 2 relevant facts have been published for this record, so no score is shown rather than an invented one.

Why

  • Lake at the site
  • River at the site

Practicality

Published logistics: access, cost, facilities.

4.4/ 10

70% of the 7 published facts are positive, scaled by how much is documented (63% of the 16-weight target). Thin data coverage · 20 still unpublished. A thin record reads low because little is published, not because the place is poor.

Why

  • Camping is published as allowed
  • Cell service
  • Fire ring
  • Pets allowed
  • Picnic table

Published as not available

  • No reservation required
  • Electric hookup

Partially supported: only one of the two dimensions has enough published evidence, so this record is not presented or ranked as the equal of a fully documented one.

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.

  • Camping status: Official campsite.
