Beautiful campground! Andrew, one of the host is a hard worker. We see him out working on the days he is off. The grounds are nicely cut and the bathrooms are clean. I feel safe there due to both host that keep a check on who is coming in and out.

The two volunteers that manage the site were fantastic. We had a broken awning and Andrew got us in contact with someone who can fix it. A shout out for Andrew who was very helpful. Thanks for all your hard work.

Beautiful campground. Well kept and very clean. A very quiet location. Watching the boat traffic locking through was very interesting. We had a small boat and really enjoyed the waterway.

Good value with our senior pass, half off. Picnic table is situated so it is right behind camper next door. Paved level site with gravel picnic area and fire pit. Campground is very bright at night.

Always a great RV campground. We enjoy staying there with water views from every campsite. Nice facilities.
@SteveW7867249 · Camped on Feb 12, 2025 at Campsite #8
Hosts Dave & Deb were excellent. Andrew should NOT be hosting. Very unfriendly and rude at times. Even saw him being rude with a fisherman in front of his young son. Please do not let him come back here!
@SandyD01C7C048 · Camped on Feb 11, 2025 at Campsite #20
Love staying at W.P. Only reason I couldnt rate it a 5 this time is the site we had. We were OK with not having a water edge site this time, however; our site had a tree that was releasing seed pods that made a HUGE mess all around us. It would have helped if someone cleaned them up between stays so there wouldnt have been so many. They were inches deep!!
@HenryK6446302 · Camped on Feb 9, 2025 at Campsite #17
A beautiful and quiet RV campground. Easy back in access and level pads. Clean bathrooms and showers. Gorgeous sunsets and moonrises. Flocks of egrets walking the grounds to entertain you. We will return.
@GaryS1862766 · Camped on Feb 1, 2025 at Campsite #18
W.P. Franklin is a gem of a campground. The sites are great, level and private with fine views. Every morning is a pleasure.
@KenS7241932 · Camped on Jan 29, 2025 at Campsite #6
Always enjoy our stay here and visit to Sanibel/Ding Darling. Can't beat the fees with America the Beautiful old farts pass!
@JaniceL6143889 · Camped on Jan 24, 2025 at Campsite #21
Andrew, CG Host, came to my rescue when a day use fishing family , parked in my campsite. He tracked them down & had them move to day use parking. Andrew is a hero!

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
