Quiet location away from a lot of noise and light pollution. Our second year staying at Ortona and will try again next year. It was disappointing that the fishing pier and the footbridge over the canal were closed. No issues getting Amazon deliveries there.

Site 38. Bathrooms across from site very clean showers worked well and clean. We found bathrooms and showers near site 17 where we previously stayed nasty and barely working. Staff calls it the ghetto side of the park. Those bathrooms definitely need attention. Overall campground lively staff wonderful and accommodating. Internet not that good. We love ortona south

The site locations are great, beautiful view of the canal. My only problem was, it stated on the map there were two docks to fish from. There was only one, and to be honest it should be condemned. The pylons were either worn down to nothing or not existent. They also had the locks shut down for viewing due to security issues? This was not disclosed ahead of time.

One of our top 10 parks in Florida.

The camping spots were very spacious. It was awesome to be able to walk or ride a bike over to the locks and watch the boats come in and out. Also the interactive video set up there under cover was very interesting. I watched them all and recorded part of it to put it on Facebook. The couple that checked us in were also very helpful. When I had questions they were very happy to answer them. I will be going back again in the future.

We like most everything about this campground . We were in a camper vav. All the major boxs were very good . mostly flat, good to very good Bathrooms, host friendly and helpful.
We did not use the water, there no sewer hook-up ( which we knew ahead of time ). Biking was good ,that's important to us.
We enjoyed watching to boats lock through!
Thanks

Very nice park. Only downside was the fire ants in areas around the cement slab. Our feet were getting bit.
@NateR218 · Camped on Feb 25, 2021 at Campsite #38
Always enjoy being at Ortona. Great park, plenty of open space, and you get to watch the boats running up and down the waterway. Bathrooms are clean and the grounds are very well maintained.
@CharlesO437 · Camped on Feb 21, 2021 at Campsite #38
Well kept sites with nice view of locks

Ortona is a very nice somewhat secluded quiet camp right on the waterway. Lots of people were fishing and the bird sightings were very cool.

This is one of our favorite Corp of Engineers campgrounds. We prefer to stay at COE campgrounds because they facilities are always nice and the lots are generally spacious. This particular one is exceptionally well run. The grounds are very comfortable and the hosts are amazingly helpful.
