Beautiful clean park. All sites are waterfront. Both staff and fellow campers were friendly and helpful. I am going back and made reservations for 2 more weeks. Highly recommended..

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.

Very peaceful, well manicured park. Campsites nicely spaced along the river. Plenty of green space in center of loops. Some road noise but not terrible. Good education area across river on north side, unfortunately there is no close bridge to reach the north side to go to recreation park or to observe the locks in action.
