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.

The campground was super clean and well maintained. The staff were friendly. There were a lot of people with pets including us. Which means the occasional bark when people are walking their animals. If that’s a problem for you I would reconsider. The entire park is only about 1/2 mi long so a lot of people walk round’s including us with our pets.
Coming in before sun uo and sun down there is a gate with a code. A lifting inconvenience since u have to manually get out and open the lock and gate but also nice that not just anyone can come in whenever they want and go fish at the pier.
Would recommend this campground and would visit again.

We have been there 30 or 40 times every time they have a new host this time we were very disappointed. The man host approached me at the boat ramp along with the female host and asked me are you camping here? I said yes because my truck was parked where it said camper, the woman proceeds to tell me this is for campers and their boats only and I said we have a boat and trailer. Can we pull it in here to save the spot?. The man came up and said oh no!! I can’t let you do that , needless to say I was a little mad, but then he approaches my husband who has a wrench in his hand behind our boat and he said, what are you doing? You can’t work on your boats here. My husband calmly and politely said I’m putting my plug in the bottom of the boat is that OK , I am so upset I love going there. The hosts are always over bearing. We are adults. We know how to act and we’re respectful!!!
end of my rant.

We always love visiting this park. It is so beautiful and well maintained. This trip, we were supposed to spend 4 nights in site 8 which is one of the shorter sites, we would need to park our car by the bathroom. When we checked in, the host asked if we would like to take 22 instead as they had had a cancellation and site 22 would accommodate our rig and our car. We were thrilled as 22 is one of our favorite sites! Just another example of how great the hosts are!!

Very clean and quiet campground. Not much for children but excellent for adults. Small campground on river with nearly all waterfront sites.
