Midway Campground i USA

Situated within the boundaries of Big Cypress National Preserve, this campsite was booked via recreation.gov. The RV section of the site is arranged in a circle around a pond, with an extra smaller ring accommodating 10 tent spaces. The western part of the campsite contains RV spots 1-13, which are fairly open with sparse shade-providing trees. The eastern half, housing spots 14-26, offers more shade, though not for all spots. All spaces require reversing into. Spot #20 was fairly flat and offered a good amount of shade. However, low branches could pose issues for taller 5th wheel trailers. Each spot was equipped with functioning electric hookups, picnic tables, and fire rings. Restrooms are available on-site, but shower facilities are not. There is a waste disposal station and drinkable water source near the exit. Unfortunately, no alligators were spotted during our single night stay. We would have loved to extend our stay but managed to secure this spot last minute. We would certainly visit again! Notably, there was virtually no Verizon network coverage.

During our journey to the Keys, we halted at this pleasant campsite. If we were to revisit, it would merely be for a night's stopover. The campsite is well-maintained with clean restrooms. Although there are no showers, potable water is available near the entrance. This campsite is home to alligators that inhabit the central pond. I've spotted one occasionally, but the camp manager mentioned that they often come to nest in this area. It's quite astonishing that dogs are permitted here, considering the alligator presence. Dog walks are restricted to the right side of the road, away from the lake. My spouse once witnessed an alligator emerging and slipping between two campers at night, and I heard one growling while I was out with our dogs during the day. I didn't see it, so I presumed it was hidden in the shrubs along the bank, prompting us to promptly leave the area. While the campsite is decent, one must exercise caution while strolling, particularly with young children or pets, and always have a flashlight handy after dark.

Silence reigns, there's no mobile network, yet numerous crocodiles can be spotted if you cycle down the street. It's a minimum of 45 minutes to the nearest store, hence ensure you have all necessary supplies before setting off.

Have camped here many times. All sites by reservation only. Many flying bugs but few mosquitoes. No showers. All sites level and paved. No alligator this time, unusual. Good access to Everglade sites by vehicle.

GREAT base for exploring Big Cypress National Preserve and Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park. The Clyde Butcher Gallery (the most amazing swamp and Everglades photos!) is right down the road close to the Oasis Visitor's Center. Both are worth a visit. While potable water is available, you have to get it at a fill-up area, not at your campsite. The fill-up area and dump areas are adjacent, so you may have to wait in line if you want to use either of them. If you are doing this on the way out of the park, your trip may be delayed if you are not the first in line. The restrooms are good, but they don't have any showers. There is an outdoor theater area used for camper presentations by park staff in the evening. Fire pits and covered tables are around the lake. Plenty of open grass space around the lake to use for a game area. Reservations are suggested during peak camping months; the park was full all three nights we were there in March. Our site was quiet enough, but there will be more road noise in sites closer to Tamiami Trail. (Used senior pass for 50% discount)
