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.

We have stayed here several times the last 4 years and enjoy it immensely. However, the rest rooms and showers are showing their age and no updating has been done. This trip there were a dozen or more fishermen allowed in on Saturday night after the posted closing time (sunset) for the fishing pier and somehow got the gate code to come and go. Most were there until after 11pm.

The bathrooms nearest to the boat ramp could use a little upgrading. A fish cleaning area near the fishing pier would be wonderful. Even though........this is a GREAT campground.
