Lot size was large. Very clean campground. Did not use the bathroom but based on everything we saw they must be nice. Lots of area to walk the dog. We had a great time. Camp host were very helpful with where to go to do laundry.

Liked all of Ortona lock camp, hosts were exceptional. Major disappointment was being locked out from access to the North side of the lock and beyond.

A nice quiet retreat with large sites and abundant wildlife. The facilities are a little run down. The bath house needs renovating as the fan (no a/c) in the men's shower didn't work, broken shower tiles, and gout that was cracked and missing. One of the street lights was in stobe mode all night. The fishing pier has been closed due to damage from a hurricane and not slated to be repaired.

Overall have stayed many times. Did not like site 3 as too close together with other sites. Other sites we have stayed at here are more spacious.
The bathrooms/ showers need work. Although very clean needs work on showers

The campground hosts are great! The campground is very clean. Unfortunately, fishing closed while we were there due to national security concerns.
