Fred Gannon Rocky Bayou State Park
A secluded getaway in this busy area and a fine place to launch a boat.
Rocky Bayou is the easy name to pronounce. It's a small arm of Choctawhatchee Bay, which is adjacent to warm Gulf waters. This northwest Florida cove is an ideal spot for saltwater fishing just outside of Niceville.
We're always excited when we can give you some inside information. This park is probably the best place to launch your boat from Panama City Beach all the way to Pensacola. That also means less anglers, and more fish to catch.
Gigantic longleaf pines shelter this area. Some specimens are more than 300 years old. These pines are like parental figures to the relatively young and smaller oaks. The reindeer moss attracts deer and other wildlife. Rocky Bayou also has some historical significance. Check out the Native American artifacts found and catalogued here.
There are 38 campsites here, all with RV ac

Usually when we camp we like to rough it, but every once in a while it’s certainly nice to be spoiled; Fred Gannon’s campground spoils its campers more than a gallon of milk left in the sun for a month. The 42 sites are pretty large and shady and include water, electricity, a fire ring, and a picnic table. The bathhouse is air-conditioned and heat Read more...
