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.

Beautiful sites along the waters of the Caloosahatchee River. As it's in the no wake zone, it remains wonderfully quiet.

Our favorite campsite by far. Yes, there many things to do in the surrounding area but we prefer to stay close and enjoy our campsite.

Park was in pristine condition. Staff, Mike, was friendly and informative. Facilities were all clean and well kept. My wife did state it would be nice to have a shelf or something to put shampoo and other products on while in the shower. Site location was on the water with good view of the locks. Thanks for doing a great job.
