Great relaxing campground. Sites located along the shore line provide a interesting view of wildlife and easy access to boating.

The volunteers at Franklin Lock campground were very pleasant & helpful, nice meeting you Missy! And the facilities are always clean with all areas being so inviting. Our 3 day stay at the boat docks was delightful, with new friends met & enjoyed.

We were able to bring our boat too and keep it on the shore beside camper. Very quiet, peaceful and relaxing even on the weekend. Be back soon!

Every aspect was very good including the scenery. Missy your onsite manager was not only helpful and cheerful at all times but just a delight to see the smile on her face. The only drawback from being a 5 star experience is it would be better if it had sewer connections. Going back in September

Park was fine. Trees need trimming on site 21 &20. Branches interfere with awnings and branches interfere with roof and parking. No issues with attendants. Just maintenance of trees. Also neighbor on 21 had ants because of tree limbs they were crawling on roof. I am a regular and I normally enjoy the camp but I will not revisit these sites again.
