Great little campground. All roads are paved and sites are level concrete pads, most are back in, which is easy to accomplish. Half are on the water side. Both sides can easily see the water. The area outside the RV door is level gravel with a sturdy picnic table covered by a metal roof. All areas have grass and the landscaping is well cared for. It was so interesting to walk to the lock and across it and watch the operation. the restrooms were clean, though ours at the east end didn't have a means to dry your hands and it was shut down mid-stay due to plumbing issues. Only observation for improvement would be MORE TREES. Some sites are well shaded, but most are not.

Very clean park, water and electric worked well. Neighbor campers were very friendly and helpful. This was our first time camping here but we will be back. We had a site off the water but there were very few bugs. We traveled 3 hours to get here from Titusville and it was a very easy trip. Camp workers were very friendly. The senior discount helped us a lot since we live on Social Security.

We travel the country extensively and Ortona Locks South is one of our very favorite campgrounds. It's quiet, clean, friendly and yet not far from good eats if you so desire not to cook at your RV. Camp Hosts are always attentive and grounds are well maintained. Not a bad thing about our little getaway "secret".

The hosts at this location are top notch. Bathrooms are spotless. Communication when there was a problem excellent. Park grounds neat and well kept. There is not a bad site at this park. It does get windy so be prepared. Would definitely stay again if I could get reservations, lucked out this time after trying for 2 weeks.

Beautiful and well kept. Large, well-spaced sites. Alligators, river otters and limpkins and their offspring were fascinating to watch. Fun listening to Wicked Witch of the Locks harass eastbound/westbound boaters (marine channel 13).

Park was busy. Snook season started and that meant extra people around. All was still good

This park is so relaxing. It was very clean, as usual. The only bummer is that one bathhouse is out of order for now. It didnt put us out any, because we could still use the bathhouse at the other side of the park. The sunsets never disappoint us. Our neighbors were really friendly, which is an added bonus.
