Best Western Franklin Town Center Hotel & Suites
For those of you not bringing your own “portable room” (whether it’s a camper, trailer, or tent), we recommend staying at this hotel. It’s close by, convenient, and a comfortable home base for anyone who’d rather skip the campsite setup.

Base Camp Accommodations
Base Camp Accommodations Lots 185, 184A & 184C (Camping) Camp Creek Lake, Franklin, TX This wedding is being hosted at Dani’s grandparents’ lake house, with family and friends opening up their neighboring lots to create a true “Base Camp” for the weekend. We’re a family of adventurers who feel most at home outdoors, and we want you to join in on that spirit. If a hotel feels a little too… well, hotel, bring your own “home on wheels (or zippers).” Roll up in a camper or trailer, pitch a tent by the lake, or toss a sleeping bag under the stars. Hammocks are fair game too. Basically, if it feels like an adventure, you’re doing it right. And don’t worry—this isn’t totally “roughing it.” Bathrooms and showers will be available in the houses on the property, so you can rinse off after a swim, a dance, or just a Texas-sized day in the sun. We’ll be taking a headcount for campers and trailers to make sure there’s plenty of space for everyone. If you plan to camp or bring a trailer, please let us know in the RSVP section or reach out to pedigoarchitect@gmail.com so we can reserve you a spot.
