Ortona South was one of our favorites on our recent trip to FL (early Feb). We stayed there twice for a total of 6 nights. We had sites 19 (not riverfront), 23 (riverfront), and 28 (riverfront). Part of me doesn’t want to share this place - it’s already hard to get into! The campground is quiet, but with friendly fellow campers. This campground is very well maintained, with beautiful views of the river - complete with boats going in and out of the locks and various wildlife. We saw manatees feeding on our first stay and there was an alligator on our second stay. There is also a ton of birds in this area - both flying over as well as in the fields, and on a small creek feeding into the river. The riverfront sites are just so relaxing - so nice to watch the boats float by and watch the flocks of birds fly over in the evening. Note that there isn’t much privacy for the riverfront sites, but the views are worth it. Our non-river site (19) had great privacy and the bonus of birdwatching from our site. We had a peregrine falcon, an egret and a juvenile white ibis hanging out behind our site, as well as a bald eagle flying over. There’s also an unofficial trail at the end of the campground that leads to a field/marsh area where flocks of egrets, ibises, and cormorants fly into every evening. There were also Roseate Spoonbills flying over, but we never saw them land. The road coming into the campground is also great for a walk or run - we loved our sunset runs seeing tons of birds and beautiful views the whole way. Sites were paved and completely level. Looking forward to staying here again!!
