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.

5.3/ 10

Documented depth: 8.5 of 16 evidence weight, from 3 published facts. A low number means little is published, not that the place is poor.

Why

  • Mountain setting
  • Hiking
  • River at the site

Practicality

Published logistics: access, cost, facilities.

8.8/ 10

88% of the 15 published facts are positive, scaled by how much is documented (100% of the 16-weight target). High data coverage · 12 still unpublished.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
  • Cell service
  • Cost is published
  • RV friendly
  • Big rig friendly
  • Fire ring
  • Maximum vehicle length published
  • Pets allowed
  • Trailer friendly
  • Van friendly
  • Picnic table

Published as not available

  • No reservation required
  • $25 or less per night

Fully supported: both dimensions earned a score from 18 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.
