Camping in Big Cypress National Preserve, in the Everglades National Park, at Midway campground was an amazing experience. One of the reasons we love being full time RV Travelers. Beautiful setting, close to Shark Valley & Oasis Visitor Centers, as well as the Loop Road. Don’t forget the famous Tamiami Trail, as well.
The first part of the video shows all the fun things that we did close by. The second half is a site-by-site tour of the campground and its amenities, along with some gator footage right in the campground. See the chapters below:
