This is a very nice quiet campground. Most of the people are retired. The waterfront sites are beautiful. It will be even nicer once they fix the fishing pier.

What a wonderful five days we just spent at the Ortona South COE campground! Fortunately, there were a couple of last minute cancellations, and those campers were kind enough to take the time to cancel, as opposed to just not showing up, so that someone else can have the site. The two hosts who greeted us, Vicki and Joe, were very welcoming and friendly throughout our visit. If you are fortunate enough to get a site on the water, it is such a peaceful place to relax and watch the beautiful yachts come and go, as well as enjoy a campfire toward evening. The dump station is kept clean and functions well. This was our second time camping at Ortona South, and we will definitely be returning. The U.S. Army Core of Engineers provides a wonderful service to us, and we say thank you!

Very well constructed and maintained. Good electric power. 2-3 bars Verizon cell service. Adequate, well-landscaped spaces between sites. Excellent gravel-edged-with-concrete-strips sites. Parking pads are level and concrete. Burning of nearby sugar cane fields might bother those with sensitive sinuses. Quiet. Relaxing. Lots of birds: mockingbirds, warblers, herons, crows, doves, otters, gator. Staff was evident on site often. Bathhouses were modern and well-maintained. Corps of Engineers campgrounds are our favorites and this one is one of the better ones.
Excellent

In a beautiful setting. Clean and well maintained. Space between sites. Staff was helpful. Easy access to lock to watch boats. Only drawback was road to campground was dusty and bumpy. Lots of dump trucks. Once inside gate, no problem.

Always nice to go to a Recreation Gov location and use our Lands - this spot is a nice small camp and has a wonderful feel.
Windy and Sunny with waterway views. This time we wend for a late lunch just down the hi-way to the River Grill restaurant.
Boy O Boy was the food good.
Got to see some wildlife too.
NOTE back up the road to town is a Walmart, and Tractor Supply if you need stuff during the stay.

Pleasant stay. Surprised to see huge activity on road because of gravel mine next door. Also, bathroom closed on our end. Lots fish parts in dumpster on weekend causing yucky smell. Still had a good stay, as usual.

A beautiful, peaceful campground. Back a very long drive. Spots are large and well spaced. It was wonderful to be able to park on concrete, made leveling very easy! Showers are very nice, clean. Would definitely stay again!

Wonderful well run facility. We stay there every three months or so, usually an overnight on the way to or from somewhere. Great access for strolling on the levees and dikes.

Clean beautiful well-maintained corp of engineer park on the Caloosahatchee River. You can watch the boats pass through the locks traversing the intercoastal waterway.
