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

Published as not available

  • Hiking
  • Stargazing
  • Climbing
  • Horseback riding
  • Hunting
  • Skiing

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 Partial data coverage · 18 still unpublished.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.

Overview
