I love this campground and I try to stay there every year. But this year my daughter and granddaughter stayed with us for a few days. They went to the bath house to shower and when they were done the one female host was standing there asked how the shower water pressure was, my daughter replied it was ok. the Host very rude said well I had no water in my camper to wash my hair.

Excellent place to camp. One short coming is the showers in womens bathroom. Shower heads either broken or very little water pressure. Bathroom clean but showers leave slit to be desired Staff is excellent. Grounds very well kept Nest as a pin!

I made the mistake of going and trying to tent camp with my wife on a day that was almost storming. Rain, wind and mosquitoes were very bad we could not put up tent we slept in the car lost our canopy in the wind. So it was my fault that the time at Onota south was just good.

Clean,scenic and relaxing. Cross the lock with your bike and check out Ortona Tavern, a scenic old Florida watering hole-cash only

One of our favorite campgrounds close to home. The sites are always well maintained and the hosts are very nice. Fishing from the piers is fun along with nice long walks around the area with our kids. I hope they reopen the lock soon so you can watch the boats travel back and forth.

Excellent campground. Large lots, concrete pads, easy access. Hosts friendly and helpful.

Very pleasant and quiet campground. Well maintained sites with clean bathroom facilities. Nice to sit and watch the boats go through the locks while you fish.

We always enjoy camping at Ortona South and we have been going there for eleven years. The sites are well maintained and manicured. The bathrooms are cleaned on a daily basis. We enjoy the wildlife that resides at Ortona South or passes through during their migration.

This is one of my favorite places to go. Love watching the boats go through the locks. The campground is immaculate and very well taken care of. Common areas are sanitized daily. They even do the dumpsters. The only issue I have is that is really hard to get a reservation here. Guess everyone else likes it as much as I do.
