Very small QUIET place. 20+ miles from ANYTHING. It needs several upgrades. 1) FENCED IN DOG RUN AREA ( my suggestion would be the cleared area in the woods at the back of the park) 2) Upgrades to the bathrooms. There is more than enough room for shower stalls to be added! Telling campers to drive miles up the road to another similar campground is NOT acceptable!

Wonderful and pretty campground. The night sky was wonderful and the campground was peaceful and clean.

A great campground to spend a night or a week. The campground is small and cozy with all the campsites situated around a small pond. There is plenty to do in Big Cypress preserve or if you want to drive a bit further you can go to the Everglades from here. We used this as our base camp for a week and found plenty to do, drove the loop road and observed a lot of birds and alligators, took an airboat ride, biked shark valley, hiked in the Everglades, stopped by the visitor centers and took some ranger walks. I would definitely visit again when in the area. Also a great place to look at the stars since it is far from city lights.

I am from South Florida so this camsite for me is just a quick getaway and essentially...do nothing..ok read a book listen to music, meet fellow campers and essentially have some me time. I am there alone! If you want to fish walk across the road from the campsite, Careful for gators there. . It can also be daunting with traffic wizzing by! Most times you will catch Oscars which I have learnt are invasive and I have seen fishermen toss their catch across the street for the birds rather than returning them to the canal. I have only seen baby gators at the Midway lake. The sites on the west end will accomodate larger type campers unlike sites in the twenties which have low tree canopies. I particularly like sites 21-25 as they provide some shade. For campers wanting to tent I would go to Monument lake , just a few minutes west on US41 from Midway ( Keep in mind Monument Lake is seasonal unlike Midway) Reason is that they have toilets and showers. Also that campground is recessed in from the main road (US41) and is much quieter. Midway , unlike Monument lake has covered picnic areas . A great place to visit is the Oasis Visitors Center which is less than 5 minutes drive west of Midway. There is a catwalk there and lots of gator sightings. There aren't any showers at Midway ( I understand the park system is looking to upgrade, fingers crossed) and the restrooms are well kept. The only lights at nights are the lights from the restrooms. Three times around the campground is about a mile. My stay at Midway is usually in the months of Feb -Apr. Once the rainy season starts mid May onwards, the mosquitoes will eat you alive. I have stayed at Midway more than six times now and all the hosts( they are volunteers) , have been very nice. Towards the end of winter though, don't expext to see any.

Pretty nice little campground. Not too far from Everglades City which makes it convenient as a stopover. Bathrooms were clean and camp hosts very welcoming l. Would definitely stay there again.

Very nice campground and super conveniently located if you're transiting through the state. Not too crowded and plenty of space between sites. Bathrooms are clean but no shower so best for a short stay if you don't have a rig. Lots of mosquitoes but that's to be expected in that area!

Always a great time at Midway campground, a perfect location to visit shark Valley. Almost every other day to go bike riding and to see the alligators. The facility is pristine though small. The staff the hosts and grounds people are always smiling., and eager to answer any questions. Shout out to Sharon and Colorado guy or to host.s

Very nice campground. Very clean and well maintained . I like that its a dark camp. Unfortunately it was cloudy and rainy while I was there. Plan to go back during better weather to view the night sky!

Great campground! The camp host was so pleasant and I loved that he went over all the rules vs handing out paper that just gets thrown away. Restrooms were clean as were all the sites. Sites were not huge but there was plenty of space and you didnt feel on top of each other. Dark Sky Certified and the stars were amazing. Great location for the Big Cypress Reserve. Highly recommend!

Friendly and helpful campground hosts. Clean restrooms. Nice and clean campsites. Well maintained. Perfect location midway between Naples and Miami! Nice to have a campground in South Florida with electrical hook ups.

Loved this campground for setting, location, decent size, reasonable privacy, electric hookups & level sites. The down sides are they didn't have full hookups and they didn't have any showers. We personally didn't need either of those but if we want to stay longer than 3 days we would want a shower house so we don't have to use the dump station and potable water supply.

Campsite was clean and shaded. 30A service was defective but I was able to use an adapter for the 50 amp service which is why I only gave 4 stars. Rest Rooms were very clean. No shower but knew that in advance. Showers are available a few miles down the road at the Monument CG. Host was very helpful. It is a dark sky environment so views of night sky was superb. Location gave excellent access to many opportunities for sightseeing or simply relax at the CG and chill out.

Great location, friendly hosts. Must see Shark Valley for alligators and birds. Close enough to Everglades City for restaurants and park boat tour. Great spot!

Midway is in a great location with easy access to the Everglades features like Shark Valley, visitors center, air boat rides, etc. It is a small campground right on Rt 41. Ir is clean and well maintained and the camp hosts were great. It there are any negatives it would be the fact that the campsites only have electrical hookups but the is a dump station and a place to fill your water tanks. Stay for a night or stay for a week. There is plenty to do in the area.

Simple, well kept park. We stopped for the night between Key West and Tarpon Springs. There is only electric service and central a place you can fill water jugs. We had one bar of cell service intermittently with Verizon which we expected after reading other reviews. Bring a book.
