Beautiful site and campgrounds. Clean property, friendly staff and can't wait to camp here again.

I always enjoy my camping trips to Ortona & Franklin. I was disappointed, in the lack of progress to repairs of the fishing pier and footbridge. I hope those projects are given some attention soon. I will say that campsites and bathhouses were kept very clean and that the camp hosts were very friendly.

Great staff, location and site. Only problem was ants got in our camper. They were everywhere. It was awful. We had to buy a killer and place it inside our camper in multiple spots. When we talked to another person that had camped there in the past, they said it was that way before, and they spray everything from their camper that touches the ground as soon as they get there. That wouldve been good to know.

Had a great time at Ortona South COE campground. Easy to use flat site with electric and water. Clean restrooms. Beautiful views of the Okeechobee waterway and locks. And the Thanksgiving Day potluck was an extra bonus.

A very clean and quiet campground with beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
@CherylB3572926 · Camped on Nov 21, 2025 at Campsite #49
Always a pleasant stay. Beautiful view of the Florida Prairie. Lots of wildlife and enjoy watching the boats go through the lock.

CAMPSITES CLEAN WELL LAID OUT. BATH/SHOWER HOUSE VERY CLEAN. MOST SITES COULD USE MANY MORE SHADE TREES. OOPS Sorry about cap lock being on. Still hate sites being marked as reserved but stand vacant for days.

All Great, Hope you guys have fishing pier done soon

@SilviaW69A40C5 · Camped on Nov 18, 2025 at Campsite #2
Sure wish the COE would fix the fishing pier on the south side of the Locks
@RobertH1222975 · Camped on Nov 14, 2025 at Campsite #25
Quiet, great view of the locks and boats. Wish they would fix the bridge and fishing dock.....unhappy.

Edison/Ford museum in Fort Meyers was great. Labelle has a great brewery. Awesome sunsets and the campground was well taken care of. Will plan another trip there in the future.

Nice site size, beautiful sunsets. Peace and quiet
@AlanW5588627 · Camped on Nov 9, 2025 at Campsite #4
Close to 90 nights in our RV since late August and Ortona South is by far our favourite place. Peaceful, clean, exceptionally well managed. Highly recommended.
@RichardM509620 · Camped on Nov 8, 2025 at Campsite #13
Nice hosts, clean restrooms and showers. No fishing unless you are a waterfront sight. Pier is locked and the gates are locked at 4pm.

@CharlesP476782 · Camped on Nov 6, 2025 at Campsite #6
The staff is always friendly and helpful. The grounds and restrooms are always maintained well. We like any site, but we have our favorites! We love to sit and watch the boats go through the lock. Relaxing time here, always!

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
