“Franklin Motel's RV sites seem to offer a solid experience, with level grassy spots, hookups, and even cable TV - though you might need to dust off your vintage cable box rental skills. The pool looked inviting, and I appreciated the availability of a laundry room; for the price, it appears to be a practical base for exploring North Bay.”
