Midway Campground (FL)

After April most campgrounds in Everglades are closed because of hot and humid weather and mosquitoes. Only Midway campground is open. The facility is clean but only has restroom but does not have bathroom. Mosquitoes is not as bad as those campgrounds in Everglades NP. The landscape is beautiful and campsites surround a lake that several alligators inhabit even though they do not get out of the lake due to hot weather. I still feel a little worry at night when i need to get to use the restroom.

Nice stop in the Everglades with plenty of space at sites. Bugs get very bad at night so be prepared.

Clean, quiet, beautiful and well maintained.

Very well kept location with spots arranged around a small lake with electric hookups. On site Dump and water fill along with bathrooms with hot showers.

Site was good for a night to sleep, it was quiet which made the lack of privacy okay, wouldn’t want to stay there when full and busy, enless you have a latge bus with private indoor space to hangout, otherwise youre right beside everyone at their campfire pit area.

Showers were closed at monument campground which we were hoping to use, so showers would be a nice touch.

Bathrooms were always kept clean and well stocked with toiletries.

Oh and there was a couple gators in the pond, be careful we thought we saw one behind the trailer in the middle of the night, I guess they have nests in the forests and the sites are between the pond entrances they travel and their nesting area. Bring a flashlight

Overall it was a great experience though! True everglades camping bugs and all!!

Would return!

The Recreation.gov reservation system is difficult at best. We had reservations confirmed for months before our trip. A few weeks before the trip the reservations were cancelled and automatically refunded by Recreation.gov due to "facility maintenance". I immediately re-booked the exact same site and a day or so later they were partially cancelled and refunded by Recreation.gov. Upon arrival at the campground the campground host had few details about what was going on and how long we could actually stay in our "reserved" site. No fault of the campground host-it's lack of accurate information from management. The site and campground were great.

Midway is one of my favorite places. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was just about everything I would want in a camp site. The only thing that would make it better is if it had showers. It was not only quiet but there were no bugs. Others have told me it has been dry there so that is why. First place I have been without bugs. Thank you. I will be back to stay.

Nice campground with electric sites; water and dump station available. No showers at this campground. Good location for exploring Ten Thousand Islands, Big Cypress National Preserve and Everglades NP. We really enjoyed the loop road - saw lots of wildlife.

The small campground is tidy, the grass is cut, there are paved sides pads, picnic tables and clean restrooms. It is a great spot from which to explore the everglades. There is no running water and that would be a great addition to the park.

Great campground
