Very cozy wildlife spot. The campsite was clean, we had a nice stay. 15 minutes drive from the east entrance to Loop Road

Super kind camp host. Great spot in the middle of nowhere. Fun to walk around the lake for exercise.

We really liked this place in the center of the everglades! Very quiet, place to make a fire in the evening, I really recommend it

Very quite and night darkness was great for star gazing. Camp hosts were very cordial and informative. Only reason we did not give 5 stars was there are no showers, which would be helpful since no full hook up sites. Our campsite had good shade.

This is a small, clean, well-located campground, good for exploring Shark Valley in Everglades, Big Cypress National Preserve, Everglades City and Chokoloskee. Bathrooms were spotless, even though they got a lot of use, due to a combination of respectful campers and good staff. Lovely shade trees at many of the sites, some with air plants blooming. Camp staff are very helpful. Rangers come by to notify campers of programs happening at the CG. Electric hook-ups at each site and water fill station and dump station at the front of the campground. Showers can be had at Monument Lake CG, about 10 miles west. There are two drawbacks to this CG. First, there is virtually no connectivity. Nearest cell tower is 10 miles away at Monument Lake CG. We don't have a cell booster so that may give you service. Second, it's not great for dogs as there is a giant pond in the middle of the CG and you are warned to stay far away from it due to gators. Most of the grass is around that pond. You are also warned not to walk too close to the back edge of the park due to gators. We were there in the dry season so didn't see any in the park, and we did run our dog on the grassy area in the front of the campground gates but that's by the road so you can only do that if your dog is very obedient, which is ours is. But if you can overlook these two factors, and you are there to explore the area, this is a good choice. We camped at Big Cypress National Preserve, Midway Campground in a Motorhome.

Great campsite. Wish wed had longer to explore the visitors centres in the area.

Terrible place. No help in person or on the phone. Sewer drain under water. Potable water very sketchy. Mosquitos will carry you away in the sunshine. Only stayed one night and had to forfeit the rest of the reservation. Edit to Review: You can file a refund request on Recreation.gov after the reservation ends! I didnt expect to hear anything but just got notice of refund over a month later. Thank you!

Excellent check in with latest info for wildlife , general dos and donts. Pond was almost full from recent rainfall. Mosquito level minimal in the evenings and not much during the day if any at all. Stayed for 2 days end of Feb 2024. Days were warm , not so humid , nights were cool. Bathrooms were very clean. Campsite was full for my stay and least four volunteers present for general checkin and site upkeep.

When we arrived we were asked to move off the road to where the trash can is to unload our car. W suggest they just get a load of gravel in that area since its a mud hole when it rains. It is very difficult to see the park drive especially at night. You could use a better sign at the road maybe lighted also.Some grown men had remote cars going up and down the drive, it was annoying, but more so since dogs were going crazy.

Midway Campground is a wonderful Camping experience for someone who wants to escape the Northern Snow and experience relaxing camping during the Winter months. Lots of things are available for those who seek outdoor activities, especially seeing birds and alligators. Camp Hosts were all very helpful and the people who frequent this campground were very friendly. Pleasant 0.34 mile loop around the Lake was great for walking or bicycling.Added benefits include availability of WIFI and Public Showers for our campers at Monument Lake Campground (8 miles away). Hope to return again next year.

Host that checked us in did a thorough job of advising us of the rules regarding our stay. During our stay we were impressed with his on duty vigilance in controlling prohibited traffic in to the park. We also noticed his daily walk thru the park picking up trash.

It is a nice little campground in the Everglades - very close to the Oasis visitor center. Not much to do at the campground though - there is a little lake in the center with campsites all around. There was no electricity or water when we got there although it was restored later in the evening, thankfully. It was nice and quiet, although very close to US41, road noises were barely audible from inside the vehicle. Every site has its own firepit and picnic bench, and ample space for a decent size RV. Lots of bugs as expected. The bathroom was decently clean - there is no shower though. All in all a pretty decent place to spend a night or two - but not much more than that.

Needs showers.

Easy in easy out
@KevinBC811438A · Camped on Apr 15, 2022 at Campsite #23
Nice paved sites, fairly level. West (entry) side of loop were full sun, east (exit) side of loop were mostly shaded. No issues with the electric service. Reminder there is no water at individual sites. Didnt use dump station but one is available here.
@JosephM2374984 · Camped on Apr 1, 2022 at Campsite #23
Lovely spot. Fun viewing of wild life. Only negative is campers with overly bright lights in a dark sky area.
@Christina12039 · Camped on Mar 3, 2022 at Campsite #23
It was a nice campground and great half way point. Camphosts were very pleasant. I would stay again.
@RonaldC5295622 · Camped on Jan 1, 2022 at Campsite #23
A cell tower would be nice.
