Ben Franklin RV Park

Left the Ben Franklin RV Park one day early and very disappointed. The Park is poorly maintained and very muddy. Fire pit was fill of coal ashes, cinderblock and beer cans. Sites were most rutted with muddy tire tracks and not very level. Hook ups for sewer was terrible, unable to reach the sewer even with 20 ft hose, rendering the sewer useless. So much for paying FHU rates. Never saw anyone associated with the campground staff, or host for the two days we stayed. Only things positive we can say is the bathhouse was clean and spacious. Wifi was OK. Good for a one night stay if you are tired of driving. Otherwise ramble on.

We have stayed at Ben Franklin ever time we have return to our home town over the last five years. It is the only park in the area large enough for Big Rigs. Our nightly rate is a result of the monthly rate of $500. The road is paved and the sites are a mix of gravel and grass. This use to be a mobile home park and is being converted to an all RV park. As trailers are vacated, they are removed and the site becomes an RV site. There are a few trailers left. Most of the sites are level but little is done to make them look like true sites. There are a few very unlevel sites in the center overflow area that only have water and electric. All other sites are FHU/50 amp. The park has a bathhouse now and laundry, as well as, a dump station. The owners are very friendly and work hard to accommodate our needs. The nicest and largest sites are on the lower back level, but they are across from highway and right on a curve so the jake brakes are very loud. The park is very to easy to get to from Route 30. The WiFi is generally pretty good. Most of the time it is self registration. Your paperwork will be in a box at the entrance and you are generally given a choice of sites if they are available.
