Our experience was okay. The restrooms on our loop were locked because of problems. The park was pretty empty. And it wasn’t the parks fault but we had 2 very strong thunder storms. We still like the park very much.

We enjoy Ortona campground as it has a nice fishing pier. We watch the otters, alligator’s and some time manatees. The campground is always well kept.

This is a beautiful campground. Old FL at its best! Lots of hiking and biking. Fun watching the boats go through the lock. Lots of fishing. The host was friendly and helpful. The sites are spacious. Many of the sites have limited shade. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and have already booked a return trip!
