Within the Waco Recreation Area on Lake Waco, Midway Campground operates under Army Corps of Engineers management year-round. This established campground sits close to the Twin Bridges, providing drive-in, walk-in, and boat-in access options for campers seeking a base near central Texas attractions.
The campground splits into two distinct areas, with roughly half the sites offering tree cover while the other half remains more open. Most sites include water and electric hookups, with some featuring built-in canopies over picnic tables to shield campers from falling leaves and acorns. RVs up to 60 feet can access full hookups including sewer connections. Nancy K. notes that "all the sites have water and electric," though tent campers may need to locate water sources at nearby RV sites.
Lake Waco provides the primary recreation focus, with fishing available directly from the campground and a boat ramp for launching watercraft. Swimming occurs at the separate day-use area across the bridge rather than at the campground itself. The facility includes clean restrooms with hot showers, though some reviewers mention maintenance issues during colder months when the unheated buildings can make morning routines challenging.
Road noise from the nearby highway creates a consistent background sound, and some campers report hearing rocket testing from SpaceX facilities in the distance. The campground requires reservations through Recreation.gov, particularly for arrivals after 6 PM. Bob T. describes "cement pads, very nice and level" with "beautiful sunsets over the lake and just a few minutes to everything Waco."
Sites cost $20-$52 per night depending on hookups and location, with America the Beautiful Pass holders receiving discounts. Book lakefront sites early for water views and optimal shade coverage.
