Ortona South is a beautiful campground. Very well maintained. The only negative is the smelly water. The water has a strong sulfer odor and no, it is not our water heater. The water straight from the spigot has the odor.

This a beautiful campground. The only complaint/suggestion that I have is the location of the rather powerful lights right next to the doors to the restrooms. As you approach, you are surrounded my hundreds of insects, some of which follow you right into the restroom, which also has a lot of insects inside. Possibly the lights could be moved to the ends of the restroom building so as to not attract so many insects near the doors.

This is a perfect campground if you are looking for peace and quiet. There is not a lot to do here unless you like to fish.

We love staying at Ortona South! The setting cannot be beat, sites are well spaced out and the hosts do a superb job!

I had a pleasant stay. The campground met my expectations. The campground attendants were very friendly. I was disappointed with the Early 11 AM check out time. Most of the USACE campgrounds I have stayed at have 1 pmPM or later checkout. Florida State parks also have 1 PM checkout. The Early checkout time can cause a long line at the sewer dump station on the way out.

I almost don't want to do a review. Want to keep this one a secret! We have been there many times over the past year or so. We can be close to Ft. Myers to visit family there. Just LOVE this campground. Watching the boats/yachts come thru the locks is great! Hosts are always very nice and helpful. Be back again over Christmas.

This is our favorite campground of all we visit. Well layed out, good sites, good walking all in a good area of Florida. LaBelle is a fine town. Very enjoyable along the waterway,

Helpful hosts; beautiful views; in March there really weren't pesky insects while we were there. This is a place to return to!

We have been campers at Ortona for a few years. We always enjoy our time there, but lately the camp hosts have not been user friendly. Very over bearing. Other than that, we always enjoy our time there. Thank you.

Everything went well. I know you have well water, but the water has too much sanitizer. Left water spots on everything.
