About W.P. Franklin Campground
Visitors flock to W.P. Franklin Campground for its well-kept facilities and location on the Caloosahatchee River, where campers can fish, boat and take it easy in sunny southwest Florida. The campground, about 10 miles east of Fort Myers, provides visitors with a taste of tranquil, tropical country life. Nearby, Telegraph Creek, offers exciting opportunities to canoe Florida's back country swamps and view wildlife. Boaters in cruiser sites (B1-B8) must sleep on the boat; no tent or RV camping allowed Fishing for both salt and fresh water game fish is popular, as is boating. A unique feature of the campground is its cruiser sites, where campers sleep on their boat while enjoying the perks of the campsite facilities.
