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.

This was our second stay at W.P. Franklin N. Such a beautiful campground. The hosts are helpful and friendly. The sites are level and have beautiful views of the water. Restrooms and showers were clean and well kept. We enjoyed the tour of the Ford and Edison Estates and also the Babcock Eco tour in Fort Myers. We hope to be back!

Hate the miserable speed bumps on the entrance road.How about banning the speeders from entering. Why should the many be punished because of the few.
