This was our first trip to WP Franklin and definitely won't be our last. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The campground/facilities are well maintained. We had a lovely site and enjoyed watching people fishing from the pier. A nice quiet and peaceful getaway.

Very nice and clean, great for fishing too. Hosts are welcoming. Our friends were at another site and both of us had BBQ stands rusted and with holes so challenging to cook out. They really need to be changed.

Very nice level sites with a lot of room. Each site has its own covered picnic table. Very clean restroom / shower facilities. If you fish you can fish right from your site or there is a fishing pier you can use. Careful rolling over the speed bumps coming in or leaving - there are a lot.
