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.

We were running late (about 2 hours) from checkin time. Got a cell call from Missie (sp) just checking to make sure we were okay and going to be arriving on scheduled day. What a great surprise! She cared about us. Told us to just go to site and she would get with us after we settled in. AND YES she came by to check on us after we had set up. GREAT volunteer.

Our federal campgrounds and COE are fantastic. They are kept immaculate. The hosts as a rule are wonderful. Being a Florida resident, I wish our state campgrounds were maintained as well.

Lovely spacious campground, very quiet at night. Weekend mornings somewhat busy with an active boat ramp. Nice and clean.

We visited in May 2022. Very clean and quiet. We enjoyed watching the boats pass through the locks as well as the wild life! Highly recommend!

Very clean overall campground nicely landscaped with green grass with no weeds ( don’t know how they do it). Bathroom/showers super clean, fresh smelling, checkin was a breeze with friendly staff, location excellent not a bad site something for everyone. Nice fishing pier people getting great catches. Only drawback is forget about getting in during the Winter always packed.
