Sure wish the COE would fix the fishing pier on the south side of the Locks

The sites are large and it's nice to relax and watch the boats go through the lock.
First off, our rate was lower due to America the Beautiful senior pass
Great campground. Mostly level, ( I think) cement pads and stone picnic / bbq areas. The accessible sites have cement picnic slab
Elec & water. Dump Station is limited to once per week. If you use it on arrival, there is a $20 charge.
Lovely restful area, seems to be a constant breeze ( at least, at this time of year) that helps. Professionally kept , clean and trimmed landscape.
Fishing and watching lock operations seem to be about the sum of activities. And. You can walk right up to locks.
Not much vegetation for privacy, but angles and spaced to provide as much privacy as possible.
Did not use facilities, so no comment
Definitely repeatable

Great little campground. Our site (#2) did not have any shade but we used our awnings and did just fine. The sites in our loop were large with nice space between sites. The grounds are very well maintained. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We were disappointed that the bridge was locked but it was not the fault of the campground. A very relaxing, peaceful experience.

Very quiet and peaceful. It was interesting to watch the boats going thru the lock.

The camping experience was very nice, the campground clean and well-maintained. We had site 2 with a super view of the river. The only negative was the attitude of the camp host who was very unfriendly. When checking out at 11:00 he stopped by and asked if there was a problem as it was 11:05. We advised him there was an issue with our rear jacks and his comment was, "go ahead and go, they'll clear and the next camper is here and waiting." It was our understanding check-in is 12:00. Other than that, all was good.

A great place to relax and watch the boat traffic through the locks or fish.

We come here often just to relax and fish- such a peaceful spot. And of course my husband loves the fishing. Beautiful setting, nice and quiet and close to home for us! Highly recommend!!!

I always have a very pleasant experience at this campground , the host are very helpful and nice. The only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 stars is; one of the bathhouses was not open.

Great location.

Hosts are incredible! The campground is in impeccable condition. Very nice park with paved roads and campsites. Check out the dam and locks there at the campground. In the winter there is a good chance you'll see manatees in the locks. Otherwise go to the Manatee Park...we saw dozens of them there. Take a tour of historic downtown Fort Myers just under an hour away for shopping and restaurants. There is a Walmart in Labelle about 18 minutes away. The Quart House in downtown Labelle has great broasted chicken.

Great RV location for space, relaxation and fishing.

Just as always. Ortona was mostly quiet and very pleasant. The big problem was not anything to do with the site, but with the weather. the winds were strong enough we did not put out our awning, so we were impacted by the sun heating our little box away from home.Overall, good relax time was had by all and we plan to once again visit in May.

This Corp of Engineers campground was the first I ever used. I was very pleasantly impressed with the cleanliness. and fascinated by the workings of the locks, watching the boats traverse the locks. I'd recommend the campground to anyone that can get reservations.
@LoraG0C012EBD7 · Camped on Mar 20, 2022 at Campsite #2
Lovely large sites with water and electric hookups. It's a beautiful setting where you can hear the sounds of nature - birds, water running in the stream and river, etc. Entire place was neat and clean. Staff was helpful and friendly. The fishing was good but the locals turned out in droves (moreso on weekend) so it was tough to get a good spot. We'll definitely return here.

Came upon this looking for camping sites on Google Earth. When Zooming in and saw it was a campground I had to check it out. The reviews were great. I dove out to check it out as wall as WP Franklin. I knew I had to Book. only 1 hr and half from home. I was able to Book at Ortona. Very Quiet and Peaceful. Camp Host was very helpful. 27' Sportsman Site 2. Will be back.
