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.

Great visit, but need laundry facilities. When staying for 14 days laundry is certainly needed. It very expensive to do laundry outside a campground. It cost us over $20 for just 2 people’s laundry for a week. Most COEs have laundry facilities even if it’s 2 washers. Beautiful view

Peaceful campground in a pretty setting on the water. Very well maintained. The bathhouses were clean. We had a nice breeze all week.
