We absolutely love the W.P. Franklin campsite, and a big part of that is thanks to the amazing volunteer managers, Debbie and Stan! 🌴

They keep this place in impeccable shape — the facilities are spotless, the grounds beautifully maintained, and every detail clearly cared for. We even watched Stan spend over an hour thoroughly cleaning one site to make sure it was perfect for the next campers. That kind of pride and dedication is rare these days!

Both Debbie and Stan are friendly, welcoming, and always willing to lend a hand or share a smile. Their warmth makes this one of our favorite campgrounds to return to again and again.

Huge thanks to Debbie and Stan, you’re doing a bang-up job and setting the bar high for every campground team out there. 👏

With appreciation,
John & Karena

The location was peaceful, the water views beautiful, and the facilities were so well-maintained. Debbie and Stan made us feel right at home — friendly, organized, and always around with a smile or a helpful hand. We still talk about how enjoyable this stay was.
