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.
0.0/ 10
Documented depth: -0.5 of 16 evidence weight, from 11 published facts. A low number means little is published, not that the place is poor.
Why
- Fishing
- Kayaking / canoeing
- Swimming
- Boating
- Wildlife watching

- Stargazing
- Climbing
- Horseback riding

Practicality
Published logistics: access, cost, facilities.
6.6/ 10
96% of the 9 published facts are positive, scaled by how much is documented (69% of the 16-weight target). Partial data coverage · 18 still unpublished. A thin record reads low because little is published, not because the place is poor.
Why
- Restroom
- Drinking water
- Electric hookup
- RV friendly
- Dump station
- Shower
- Trailer friendly
- Laundry
Published as not available
- Picnic table
Fully supported: both dimensions earned a score from 20 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.
