Midway campground is very popular in January.
 

Campgrounds may close seasonally, temporarily for repairs, or for resource concerns. Information about closures can be found on the reservation website, or contact the Nathaniel P. Reed Visitor Center at 239-695-4758 for campground information.

Reservations for camping can be made through www.recreation.gov for all campgrounds. In addition, Pink Jeep and Gator Head are accessible only by permitted off-road vehicles, biking or hiking and require the possession of a backcountry permit.

Backcountry camping is also available. Visit our Backcountry Camping page for more information.
