Municipally managed and sitting directly on the river in New Franklin, Missouri, Franklin Island is a small dispersed campground that fits tent camping better than anything else. RVs are limited to 15 feet, and the site can become muddy after seasonal flooding. The maintained path is drive-in accessible, though the camping area itself is compact.
