We are traveling Florida for the winter, staying at COE’s and state and national parks when we can. Had a 2 week stay in Ortona and I have to say, this has been my favorite campground so far. The views are great. We walked over to the damn daily to watch the boats pass thru the locks. There is a street on the other side with a couple of benches and we would walk there as well. Quiet, sites are good. The hosts are wonderful. They even planned a get together for the campers on Xmas Eve. We will definitely be returning.

I almost hate to write a positve review because this RV camp is hard enough to get into. I've been coming here for years, this year I planned ahead and made my 14 day reservation early enough so I had one spot the entire time, but last year I had to move 9 times in 14 days! Far enough from civilization to return to nature but close enough to take in what Ocean Springs and Biloxi has to offer. I really can't say enough good things about Davis Bayou Campground.
