A lovely, quiet, and most pleasant campground, in keeping with the Corps traditions. We enjoyed camping over Christmas. Very highly recommended.

We have returned here several times, and were never disappointed. The campground is well kept and quiet. It is interesting to watch the folks fishing and boats going through the locks. Ft. Myers is an easy drive for a day trip, and LaBellle is closeby for supplies. The sunsets are spectacular. You wont be disappointed!

Very nice, small, quiet park. Chance to relax, see some astonishing wildlife. Park is a bit distant from a city for shopping or food. Be prepared to drive. We prefer just to hang and relax. Choice fishing on the river. We did drive to Okeechobee one night for a wonderful seafood dinner.

Wonderful, clean and quiet Campground. Nice shower house. Perfect place for riding our bikes and taking walks. A little disappointed we had to be back across the bridge from riding on the other side of the river by 4pm or would be locked out. Found a place nearby (The Glades) to golf.

Very well kept. Nicely built.

The campsites are very nice. We stayed on site 42 which is a shared site with site 41. This worked fine for us. The separation was clear and not bothersome. Fire ants would be my only negative.
@BonnieL355 · Camped on Sep 26, 2021 at Campsite #42
We always enjoy out time in this park. We live about 25 miles away so we go frequently to just get away.

Ortona South was a campground that was so quiet and the Rangers were so friendly. The campground host were so personal and interested in how our camping experience was when we were checking our. Over all we can hardly wait to return again.
Thank you

Loved the campground! Bathrooms were immaculate. Thank you for a great experience.

We were in #42 and it was a nice site. We would have liked it better if the view of the canal was not blocked by all of the trees and shrubs along the river bank. Also the dam walkway was closed which was disappointing. The park was very clean and the personnel were friendly

Very quiet campground.

Very clean, people were pleasant and helpful
@NancyB964 · Camped on Feb 21, 2021 at Campsite #42
Electrical system was faulty at our site. Ground fault error and camp host was of no help whatsoever.
@WilliamL748 · Camped on Feb 11, 2021 at Campsite #42
Pleasant, and relaxing atmosphere.
@FrankI694 · Camped on Feb 2, 2021 at Campsite #42
Beautiful, quiet campground. Pristine in every way. Great staff.

Nice campground ... more "park-like" than "wilderness-like". Nice staff.
