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.

Every aspect was very good including the scenery. Missy your onsite manager was not only helpful and cheerful at all times but just a delight to see the smile on her face. The only drawback from being a 5 star experience is it would be better if it had sewer connections. Going back in September

Great relaxing campground. Sites located along the shore line provide a interesting view of wildlife and easy access to boating.

WPFranklin is a great campground. The staff was so nice. It is clean, well manicured lawns. Nice RV pads with covered picnic tables, there are grills and fire pits. Every site is water front. We were there on the hottest weekend of the year. It was hot! No place to swim, there are gators in the water. Can’t wait to go back when it gets a bit cooler.
