Midway RV Park

Another hidden gem in the famcamp system. NSA Mid South is easy to get to and has great facilities on base. The Commissary is next to the park with the gas station (no Diesel) just down the road. The camp host (Roxi) is there to meet you with campground information. The sites a concrete and very level with FHU's located at the rear of the pad. Very open and easy to get around the park even with big rigs. We will stay here again.

Outstanding Park located in a central location for our travels. We have stayed 3 times and have never had a bad time. The staff is always open and friendly. Please keep up the great work and thanks for all you do.

I really like this campground. The sites are large and easy to get into, however all backends no pull thru's. Very clean and the campground host Roxi is super nice. The rates have gone up a couple of dollars to $23.00 a night. The south gate is open and it is the closest to the campground. One drawback for large rigs are the barriers going in and out of the gate. Go VERY slow and watch yourself this is not an easy base to enter or exit. New phone number for the RV office (MWR ticket office) 901-874-5652.

Arrived late afternoon on Sunday 7/7/19. Must enter the base by the main gate at the intersection of Wasp Avenue and (TN 205) Navy Road. Learned that the South Gate is closed for renovation of the gate guard shelters until further notice. The main gate does have a serpentine entrance. It was a bit tight for our F150 & 28 ft airstream. I was told that big rigs don't have a problem using this gate (and there were a lot of big rigs at the campground). Upon arrival we stopped the mailbox that gave us instructions. We had reservations which guarantee a site. We looked around a picked an empty site to occupy. Within 10 minutes of arrival the weekend host greeted us and gave us instructions. We called the MWR Rec Center at 901-874-5455 (alternative # to one listed in book and best # to call) to report our site selection. I had several interactions with the full time host, Roxi. She was super helpful, friendly and seems a diligent and hard working campground host. The published phone number to reach camp host is 901-508-1992. This is our first military campground stay. The major disappointment was the state of the bathhouse - it is in dire need of attention. There is only 1 working shower (in the men's restroom). Both men and women's bathroom need renovation. Certainly not an acceptable situation in my mind. I use the provided showers typically because of mobility issues and having to take a shower there was not a pleasant experience. What we LOVED about this campground: The Commissary is literally next door. It's good sized and has everything you might want AND it's open on Sunday. Large and well stocked NEX Shopette and gas station 2 blocks away All sites are full hookup Spacious between sites Very secure and quiet Free laundry (2 large capacity washers and dryers) Friendly neighbors Dog park within walking distance Reasonably close to Memphis for sightseeing Free wifi. Speed test using Speedcheck campground provided wifi: download 3.0 Mbps and upload 2.8 Mbps. With Verizon hotspot and antennae: download 29.47 Mbps and upload 9.94 Mbps. Speeds were better early in the morning and later in the evening. We were able to stream videos from YouTube without a problem using our hotspot and antennae. Using our onboard antennae pointed to the nearest tower we were able to access 20 digital TV channels including ABC and CBS for local news and weather. We would certainly come back again.

Arrived at the campground and was met by Roxi, who told me to pick a vacant site and get set up. She was very polite and helpful, explaining the check in process and things to see in the area. During duty hours, you have to go to the MWR Recreation Center to complete the check in process. The sites are long level concrete and easy to back in to. The tall trees kept me from getting a satellite signal, but a good choice of channels on antenna. The deer that came out of the woods kept my grandson entertained. If you enter the base from the south gate, don't pull into the commercial truck lane. The civilian security guards will speak to you harshly and let you know that is for commercial trucks only. RV's have to work their way thru the serpentine.

We spent 14 nights in a motorhome with W/S/E-50 Amp. Our site was a back-in with a concrete pad, patio, sidewalk and metal picnic table. The connections were conveniently located enabling easy hook-up. We were able to use our DISH Tailgater and also received numerous TV channels via antenna. The Wi-Fi was very good and we had no problem getting our AT&T phone signal. The laundry facilities are clean with two washers and dryers that can be used free of charge. Downtown Memphis is about 17 miles away with many touring and eating options. We also recommend visiting the Alex Haley Museum and Boyhood Home in Henning just 30 miles north. Overall, we give this campground an “Excellent” rating and would definitely stay here again. 

We've stayed here twice before and each time have had good experiences. Midway is conveniently located not too far from I40 and the memphis metro area so it provides a good stopping over point on North-South and East West trips. Reserving through the centralized Navy system is pretty easy (save for the wait time on hold) and the campground process is easy: pull in, find and open site, and call the MWR to let them know you're there and in which site. My only complaint is about a common issue with most military famCamps; the homesteaders. Midway is not NEARLY as bad as some we've been to but there are still issues. We were located next to a fifth wheel with wooden deck steps placed up to the door, and there were 2 freezers and multiple ice chests outside the rig which did not appear to have been moved in some time. There was another site that was using a large residential propane cylinder that sat along side the RV. The rules on Midway's brochure explicitly prohibit this activity but are obviously unenforced. Hopefully, this will be addressed not only at Midway but other FamCamps as well. 

Was called on the road to just drive in and pick a spot. Apparently that’s word didn’t get passed to the park manager. Accused me of blowing past him at an astonishing 5 mph. Got worse after that when he told me trailers are not allowed. When I made the reservation I always state it’s a 40’ with a trailer. No where on the web site does it say trailers are not allowed either. Thankfully we came to an agreement and I as able to park. Other than that not a bad place. Good internet, no cable but great HD Tv. Won’t be coming back though. Too hard to get to. 

Stayed a week in our 36' motorhome. Sites are very level, plenty long & wide. W/E/S all worked fine. Camp host can be a little "gruff" at first, but he warmed up quickly. We spent the week getting our new rig winterized & ready for storage, but did do a bit of touring around Memphis (Gibson Guitar factory, Civil Rights Museum, Bass Pro shop store.) All in all, a pleasant visit!
