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 1 relevant fact has been published for this record, so no score is shown rather than an invented one.
Why
- River at the site
Practicality
Published logistics: access, cost, facilities.
8.8/ 10
88% of the 17 published facts are positive, scaled by how much is documented (100% of the 16-weight target). High data coverage · 10 still unpublished.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
- Cell service
- Cost is published
- RV friendly
- Fire ring
- $25 or less per night
- Maximum vehicle length published
- Pets allowed
- Trailer friendly
- Trash service
- Van friendly
- 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.
