Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Fred Gannon Rocky Bayou State Park adventure.
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 access.
Escape to a natural oasis at Morrison Springs County Park. Camp amidst lush greenery and dive into the crystal-clear springs. Explore the hiking trails, enjoy fishing, or simply relax under majestic trees. Find serenity and adventure in this scenic paradise.
