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.

So many sites on the riverfront. Just beautiful, peaceful, quiet. One of our favorites! Wish it was bigger!

The views were great, every site was waterfront except for a few in the middle that were pull through. There was a nice sitting area and great pier to walk out on. I was running late leaving and the camp host was rushing me ten minutes after the deadline. The next person checking in was already there. She let them in and check in is supposed to be at noon. I got everything done, finished dump station and was out at 11:25. If I knew I could check in at 11 on arrival day that would have been so much better for my schedule, I waited till noon like we were supposed to.

This is a beautiful campground with every site on the water. Lots of nature to observe and so quiet and peaceful. The bath houses are very clean. We will definitely come back.
