How we score
Two scores, one idea: tell you quickly whether something is worth your time, and show the parts so you can decide for yourself.
Hammockability™
Is this actually a good place to bring a hammock? Eight factors, each scored 1 to 10, weighted toward the things that make or break a hang.
| 🌲 Tree availability | 20% |
| ⚠️ Rules (10 = relaxed) | 18% |
| 🌄 Views | 14% |
| 🏕️ Camping | 12% |
| 🌤️ Weather | 10% |
| 🦟 Bugs (10 = few) | 10% |
| 🤫 Privacy | 8% |
| 🚗 Access | 8% |
If hammocks are prohibited across most of a place, its Hammockability is capped at 4.5, however beautiful it is. Rules come from official sources where published; each destination shows its sources, a confidence level and the date we last checked.
