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.

Beautifully kept campground.
Kind of hard to get into this busy little campground certain times of the year but worth it if you can make dates work.
Stan and Deb are two of the hardest working camp hosts I think I’ve come across.
Sites are kept immaculately clean and they make everyone feel safe and comfortable.
Such a fun time watching birds and large boats going through the locks.
Great park across the river too.

One of the best Corp of Engineer parks I have ever stayed at. Well maintained, secure, quiet and clean restrooms. I enjoy my stay each time I stay.
