Franklin Lake Campground, Historic campground in Alvin, Wisconsin, United States
Franklin Lake Campground encompasses 77 campsites spread across a forested area along the shores of an 892-acre lake at 1,700 feet elevation.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed the stone and log structures throughout the campground during its establishment in 1936, leading to National Register recognition.
The campground functions as an educational center where visitors learn about local flora, fauna, and conservation practices through interpretive trails and programs.
The facility provides flush toilets, drinking water stations, picnic tables, and fire rings with grills for both tent and RV camping experiences.
A 6-mile trail connects the campground to Anvil Lake, while a separate 1-mile interpretive path showcases centuries-old trees within the grounds.
