Camping at The Franklin Club

The Perfect Traditional Ontario Camping Escape

Camping at The Franklin Club gives members a quiet, rustic way to enjoy more time outdoors. Set just off the water’s edge and surrounded by mature trees, the Club’s campsites offer the feel of a traditional Ontario camping experience with the privacy, safety, and convenience of a member-only setting.

As part of the Club’s membership privileges, members have access to three spacious campsites, each with its own propane BBQ and raised fire pit. The sites are well suited for tents, pop-up trailers, and RVs, with electrical hook-ups available and a shared comfort station nearby with running water, flushable toilets, and hydro.

The camping experience adds another layer to the Franklin membership lifestyle. Members can spend the day fishing at The Franklin Club, boating, swimming, relaxing at the beach, enjoying the playground, sharing campfire meals, roasting s’mores, telling ghost stories, and ending the night around the fire. It is simple, traditional camping made easier by the privacy and amenities of the Club.

Campsites

The Franklin Club offers designated campsites that can be booked as part of a member’s privileges. Each site is set within a wooded area of the property, giving members space to enjoy a more private outdoor stay while still being close to the lake and Club amenities.

The campsites can accommodate tents, pop-up trailers, and RVs, with electrical hook-ups available. Each campsite includes its own propane BBQ and raised fire pit, giving members a convenient setup for cooking outside and gathering around the fire.

These sites are well suited for weekend stays, family visits, fishing trips, and time outdoors. Members can spend the day on the water, enjoy the picnic and beach areas, walk the trails, and return to camp for a quiet evening under the trees.

Family Friendly Camping

Camping at The Franklin Club is designed for relaxed, family-friendly stays close to home. Members can introduce children and guests to the simple routines of outdoor life, from setting up camp and cooking outside to exploring the property, spending time by the water, and enjoying evenings around the fire.

The campsites are close to hiking trails, picnic areas, the beach area, playground, open green space, and lake access, making it easy for families to enjoy the property throughout the day. It is a natural extension of the Club experience, giving members more time together in a setting that feels peaceful, familiar, and easy to enjoy year after year.

Picnic Areas

The Franklin Club has three picnic areas available for members, including one with a playground. These spaces are tucked throughout the property and give members another way to enjoy the outdoors with family, guests, and other members.

The picnic areas work naturally with the camping experience, giving members space for outdoor meals, daytime gatherings, birthday celebrations, family lunches, and time near the water. Along with the campsites, beach, and playground, they help make the park-like setting feel comfortable, relaxed, and easy to spend the day in.

Beach Area

Franklin Lake is a central part of the camping experience at the Club. The designated beach area gives members a classic summer setting for swimming, relaxing by the water, and enjoying the shoreline throughout the day.

For families, it brings together the best parts of a private outdoor getaway: time on the water, space to unwind, nearby picnic areas, outdoor meals, and evenings back at the campsite around the fire. It is one more way the Club gives members a cottage-style experience close to home.
