They need to report that the main dock hasn’t been usable for two years as it was the sole reason we booked there!

Very nice small campground. Sites are spaced so you are not looking at your neighbor. Everything is well maintained and clean. We spent hours watching the boats transfer through the lock. We will be returning

This is a nice quiet campground along a canal. There is a dam and lock operation. You can watch boaters move through during the day.

Quiet and clean corp location with great hosts. Bathrooms were clean and well kept along with well maintained rv pads. The grass was cut and we noticed the crews were cleaning up the vegetation as well. One of our favorite spots here in Florida

Ortona south is my go to place to camp. It’s a beautiful, quiet place-rangers and staff are informative, friendly and very helpful. I hope the fishing pier and bridge will be repaired soon! The location is excellent- close to food markets, restaurants, etc.
