W.P. Franklin campground is highly praised for its cleanliness, well-maintained facilities, and friendly staff, making it a favorite for many visitors. The serene river surroundings and well-spaced sites offer a relaxing atmosphere for fishing and enjoying nature. However, concerns about excessive speed bumps and some strict monitoring by hosts were noted, with suggestions for improvement on these aspects.

Neighboring site was allowed to check in at 10:30 PM. It took them until midnight to set up their 40' 5th wheel. With their turbo diesel truck idling the entire time. Then they let their dog out at 12:30 AM, off leash, and barking.
I spoke to the Campground Host the next morning, who said there was nothing he could do, stating that his position was a non-paying job.

Wonderful place. Quiet and very well maintained. Great fishing pier. We’ll definitely be back.

nice little campground and very friendly staff. But if you are not fishing, there is not much to do or see around.
