Every single tent site had 2-3 tents. It was ridiculous how many people were there. Never going again. We’ve been camping here for over a decade but this irresponsible overbooking is unacceptable and has totally ruined our experience.

Hi. It’s a great spot for a local to get away from the city lights. But the campground gets crowded and the traffic from the nearby road is noticeable through the night.
At 10pm lights were out and that was nice. Everyone was polite. We enjoyed it. But didn’t get the best sleep because if the traffic

Nice campground with clean bathrooms. Showers definitely would have been nice. Come prepared for a try Everglades experience including wading and mosquitoes.

As a non generator using camper this was the worst experience ever. We have had this complaint many times before. There are campers who really want to camp and they want peace and an absence of mechanical noises. We could not have a conversation at normal speaking level. We stayed one night at Midway and there the tents were stuck in front of the dumping station. Please design a spot for people like us who enjoy pure nature away from generators and busy traffic. Also don’t call it tent only because some campers do have pop ups and vans. Call them quiet areas and forbid the noise of any mechanical or electric object. I hope you are taking this seriously and we will be able to use your beautiful campgrounds in the future.

We have camped here for many years and have always enjoyed the quiet solitude of this place. However this year when we arrived at our campsite we were met with a box trailer with a tent in the site next to ours. They had a contractor generator they were using to power their "construction site". Yes they were building a camper out of the box trailer. The generator was powering the saws, drills and it ran all day and evening until 10 pm. 2 days later someone moved into the site on the other side of us, they also had a contractor generator which they placed on the back side of their trailer (so they didn't have to hear it) and started it before they even unhooked the trailer from their truck. Again it ran all day and evening. The use of generators running all day totally ruined our trip.

Perfect location for my trip objectives! The three night stay was stress-free and the campground hosts were friendly and helpful. The grounds and facilities were clean and my tent site was quiet and private. No shade, but it's the Everglades after all and the environment I came to experience!

Nice park. Great manager. He was in the middle of dealing with a rude camper who left his LOUD generator running ALL day, even while he was away. If not for that I would give 5 stars as it is just what is advertised. Hopefully the ride camper situation is all resolved by now.

Tent site very nice, facilities very clean. However after quiet hours two families came to the park and set up their tents, left their trucks running, and were VERY noisy. The host did not come over to tell them to be quiet, I had to yell at them. At 1 am they were still sitting around their fire and talking. The quiet hours need to be better enforced at this site.
