This was our third time staying at South Ortona and every time is fabulous. Theres not a lot to do there but sitting at the river and watching boats and birds is very relaxing. We will be back.

We have been going to Ortona for about 5 years now and its like our second home. We love it so much. Its so peaceful. The sunsets are so stunning. The Ranger and Joyce are so so nice and so helpful. One of the things we miss the most is the fishing pier. We are hoping it gets repaired soon. Its taking a lot longer than we thought. The recommendations that we have are that the bathrooms are in desperate need of remodeling and the smell in the water be taken care of. The water would never have an egg smell until the last couple of times we have gone. All in all this is still our favorite campground. Anyone looking for activities or restaurants to go in the area here are a couple of recommendations. Blueberry Bunch Farm you can pick your own fresh blueberries, 7 Mares is a good Mexican restaurant, Labelle Brewery, Dollar General Market has everything you need, Pelican Snowballs has so many flavored snow cones and Two Peas has fresh baked pies.

Ortona is beautifully sited along the Caloosahatchee River near LaBelle, Florida. The sites are generously sized, well thought out and the utilities reliable (although the water has an unusual odor, it is clear, bright and safe to drink) . There are good views from each site and the adjacent lock structure is accessible to watch the proceedings.Verizon was strong enough to stream video.Campground hosts were friendly and the facility was kept spotless.

Clean, quiet and on or near the river. Really a nice place if you can get in.

Nice open clean campsite. Easy loop with easy parking for all sorts of RVs and Trailers. Direct surroundings are not spectacular but lake Okeechobee is not far

Great sites, hot showers, very peaceful. I enjoyed crossing the lock and getting pizza from the Ortona Tavern.
@MarcR633 · Camped on Nov 7, 2021 at Campsite #40
Beautifully kept camp grounds. Restrooms and showers facilities were well maintained. Nice views of the river and interesting to watch the large boats move up and down the river through the lock. A peaceful stay, everyone was friendly and fantastic views. One of the maintained camp sites we visited.

Very nice campground. Sites on right side of Lock have better canal views as the bushes have grown up on the left side.
@JonB492 · Camped on Jan 9, 2021 at Campsite #40
Ortona South is a clean, quiet, and well maintained facility. Nice place to spend a weekend. Sites are spacious and well positioned.
