WP Franklin North Campground

US army corps campgrounds are always the best. On the Caloosahatchee River. What a view for 6 days.


Franklin Lock and Dam, the campground is beautiful and amazingly well maintained. With 29 sites, most of them waterfront, and 8 boat sites, the campground is a perfect location to fish, boat, laze around or use the location as a base of operations to nearby Ft. Myers (10 miles).
