Franklin Lake

We had another great camping experience at Franklin Lake. As always the peace and quiet at the campground is wonderful. Liz, our camp host, did a fantastic job making us welcome and keeping the area in tiptop shape. We really love the hiking trails and appreciate the upkeep that goes into keeping them open.

Absolutely beautiful camp grounds. Very clean, even the vaulted toilets were very nicely kept.
The starts were our favorite part. Only complaint- we went down to the lake at 9:30pm to see the starts with our kids and instead we got a full moon from two individuals. Skinny dipping at 9:30. Kinda gross. So I’d advise others to be cautious going down to the lake at night since some in those spaces don’t appreciate decency. Otherwise we loved it. We’ll be back!

Such a gorgeous campground! I will be back next year!

Such a gorgeous spot with numerous nearby trails. Campsite comes with park bench and built in fire ring.

We enjoy our trips to Franklin. Beaches are great, nice and sandy and clean. We met Elizabeth, camp hostess, who is a sweetheart. Glad to be able to let our dog swim.
Something that needs work is the road in, just need to fill in the repairs.

Beautiful camp ground quiet love going there

Gorgeous campground. Large level sites. The campsite I was in had it's own little beach with a large sand castle.

We booked our site through recreation gov it's a beautiful place the campground is great it's quiet and lots of trees around your campsite I would recommend Franklin Lake as one of the good campgrounds we do have a lot of good campgrounds in the area

This is a beautiful campground with easy lake access. There are some good hiking trails that pass through. It is miraculous to be there in late August when there are few bugs and the weather is not so hot. The front part of the campground has some old stone buildings with running water and flush toilets; the back half has vault toilets and pumps. The water from the pumps was cloudy, which made us drive to the faucets for water. The lakes have many loons and quite a few eagles. The campground was eerily devoid of wildlife, we're used to having small critters running around all the time. There is some road noise from 70 which is on the north side of the lake. There is some Verizon cell coverage in the campground from a tower east of the lake.

Had an awesome time with my kids at Franklin Lake. The camp site was completely awesome. The Nature Trail is just gorgeous, it’s not that long so no need to rush, take your time and take it all in. I also love walking along the trail along Franklin Lake. Going back next year for sure. The reservation system was awesome which added to the stress free experience. Thank you!
