Midway Campground (FL)

Midway campground is a hidden gem “midway“ between Miami and Naples! Especially with electrical hook ups!! It is a quiet little oasis along 41 with a picturesque small lake and wonderful campground hosts in season. We make it a point to break up our trip to and from the Florida Keys here every year. We were lucky enough to be there recently on an evening where there was a Ranger talk!!

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.

Nice clean with easy access. Just wish they had showers.

Midway is peaceful, clean, and relaxing. Having to drive 7 miles to get a shower isn't ideal, but we combined it with a drive on the loop road and it was fantastic!

The campground is set up quite nicely with a decent amount of space between campers. The hosts are friendly and do a wonderful job of keeping the campground very clean, including the bathrooms. A downfall is no showers available, and since the water source is right at the bathhouse and the dump station, they need to expand the bath house and put in showers. 50 amp service is great ! close by is the big Cypress visitor center which is interesting. Lots of alligator life to observe and certainly, take the drive on what’s called the loop Road to see nature at its finest. We would definitely return.

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.

50amp service was nice

Clean toilets. Very attentive camp ranger. A good option for a couple of nights with a tent as there are no showers. The only negative point is the traffic noise as it is close to the road.

Camp hosts were top notch. Had a problem with my hitch jack. Without going into details they were completely helpful and accommodating. Grounds were spotless and the bath facilities were what I phrase "Disney clean".

Small, quiet campground is near several interesting places in Big Cypress National Preserve. Very clean, and the maintenance person, Troy, was very helpful. No showers, but if you're staying there, you can use the showers at Monument Lake about 4 miles away. We had no cell service, but had a strong signal at Monument Lake. This is the only campground in Big Cypress with electrical service.

The Oasis Visitor Center is a couple of miles away. The rangers have lots of good information and the boardwalk is a great way to view alligators.

While there, take the 24 mile Loop Road scenic drive to see mire alligators and a variety of wading birds.
