I booked my site on Jan. 10 2021 payed for a lake site. When i arrived there were 2 boats in my lake site neither one payed for a lake site. I had to wait till mid week to get my boat where i wanted it. I have camped at this place many times at a off lake site i always put my boat in the water and took it out the same day sometimes twice Not happy.

With big party camping next to us, not as quiet as desired. Shared steps to lake not a positive, but access to water was pretty easy. Would prefer more vegetation between campsites, yet overall USFS campsites are far superior to state ones. We will wait until after August 15 to see if we can find a waterfront walk-in campsite at Franklin Lake.
