A little buggy and bathrooms could use updating but we’re clean. On the other hand the staff were excellent and helpful. You would be hard put to find a more beautiful location, sunrise and sunsets were fantastic.

Had a great time at the Ortona Locks South Campground. Nice peaceful place on the locks. Watched boats going and coming with nice weather. A great place to just kick back and chill. Met some nice people at the campground with future meat up planed. All in all it is just a nice place to get away for a few days. Will be back!

Spectacular campground, wonderful views, very clean, easy access. My only disappointment was the walkway across to watch the boats thru the locks was closed.

The grounds were very well taken care of, and the sites were clean and level. We enjoyed the view of the boats, going through the locks and up the river very quiet nights would stay there again.
