We really appreciated the clean and well kept environment. The volunteer and paid staff were very helpful and courteous. We will be looking for more camps that were developed by the Corp of Engineering.

W.P. Franklin North is a island campground in the middle of the Coloosahatchee River a short drive from Ft Meyers. The access road goes over a ithsmas to the park. It has a large open grassy area in the center and sites are perimeter located. Many sites have trees for shade in the warmer periods. This is a 40+ site campground, so you never feel "packed in" like sardines. It was a nice experience and we reserved a site to return in the Spring. Recommended.

We always try to stop at this little campground every time we drive north from the keys. Love the location and being on the water!
@PattiPattiJ340 · Camped on Oct 24, 2021 at Campsite #5
Volunteer staff are phenomenal! Really enjoyed our stay in this clean and well maintained campsite. We will return anytime we are in the area.
@JonL944 · Camped on Oct 11, 2021 at Campsite #5
Campground was excellent, very clean, all camp sites were very well kept, I believe all sites were water front, host was proud of the campground and rightly so…. You’ll love it, as did we!
@CherylB185 · Camped on Oct 10, 2021 at Campsite #5
small quiet campground. Easy to get in/out and some space between sites.
@WilliamW135 · Camped on Oct 4, 2021 at Campsite #5
Park is very clean, highly maintained and camp hosts are very helpful and friendly. Cost is very reasonable. Draw backs for me is the distance to gulf. Getting to Fort Myers, Sanibel Island and Captiva was a small inconvenience. I would highly recommend Franklin as a place to get away, read, walk and enjoy the remote area.
@JudithA303 · Camped on Oct 1, 2021 at Campsite #5
Campground was very well cared for, beautiful campsites, great camp hosts! My only complaint was the tent campers next to us with 4 tents on one site stayed up drinking and carrying on with loud music until 2am! We live this campground and plan to return. Thank you!
@TamarrM417 · Camped on Sep 14, 2021 at Campsite #5
We had a great time at this campground! The facilities were clean and the grounds were well kept. All the sites offer a fabulous view of the water! The camp hosts were friendly and welcoming! We would absolutely revisit!
@SeanH615 · Camped on Jul 23, 2021 at Campsite #5
Very nice time. Easy check-in, very quiet. Thank you.
@PeterM318 · Camped on May 17, 2021 at Campsite #5
Problematic tent family set up at site. Constant fighting and swearing. Staff handled situation but police had to be called to remove them. Not anyone’s fault stuff happens
@MichaelH755 · Camped on Apr 24, 2021 at Campsite #5
Fishing, relaxing, grilling and bird watching paradise. Super staff and facilities. Recommend this paradise highly. He Quart House restaurant has great food
@GaryD746 · Camped on Apr 18, 2021 at Campsite #5
Love coming here.
@CraigM734 · Camped on Mar 18, 2021 at Campsite #5
This campground should be the model for all government campgrounds. The sites are so well layed out and everyone has a nice view to relax with. We will be back!
