Midway Campground (FL)

I booked on the phone at 10pm! I waited only 2 minutes to be connected to a specialist. Great job!
The huge pluses are the campground has restrooms, low cost for those traveling by RV or tent. There is electricity and the grounds are very clean and well maintained.
There was plenty to do at Big Cypress the next day, so would have stayed another night, but the route took us to another campground.

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.

Wir haben hier gezeltet. Der Campingplatz war sauber und gepflegt und die Camp-hosts waren super lieb. Zum Zelten ist hier allerdings nur eine Nacht zu empfehlen, da es keine duschen gibt. Wir würden auf jedenfall wieder kommen.

Very well kept and clean. The sites were level, had some shade, and plenty of room between sites.

Clean, well maintained campground. This was a 1 night stopover on my way from Everglades to Miami to fish with my kayak. I read reviews that it was noisy from the road near by but it slowed down after 10 Pm and I had no issues getting to sleep. After 3 days in the Everglades with water we carried and a port-o-potty it was nice to have an actual bathroom that was impeccable. This would be a great site to be able to venture and visit other areas of Big Cypress. I also got a chance to visit Clyde Butcher gallery just down the street -Bonus!

Lovely small campground, clean bathrooms, perfect for an overnight or to explore Big Cypress Preserve.
