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.

Extremely well designed, built and kept. Unique setting was very enjoyable. Camp hosts were VERY friendly and helpful, as were the volunteers who helped. I’d go again in a heartbeat!

1st time here, sites are very clean and easy to back into. Bathrooms are Exceptionally Clean, Camp Host very friendly & helpful.
Several local restaurants nearby like the Boathouse on the Caloosahatchee River. Great place to watch the boats go up and down the river, good fishing at the Lock for Snook & Tarpon. We already booked our 2nd visit this September!

I have been camping at wp franklin for years. Always loved #10 site. But now you can hardly see the river because of the mangroves planted on shoreline. Very disappointed. Can those atleast be trimmed to see more of the beautiful view
