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.

I had 3 different campsites and all were excellent. They have concrete pads and driveways with cute picnic table / shelter. Got to see a gator swim by the campsite as well as manatees. The grounds are well maintained. Quiet campground. There is a nice fishing pier you can walk out on.

This is definitely one of my favorite campgrounds. The location is spectacular and it is very well maintained with lovely hosts, beautiful waterfront sites, immaculate grounds and breathtaking sunsets. I loved it and I’ve already made reservations to return in June.
