We camped at Fred Gannon Rocky Bayou State Park the 3rd week of March in our Class C Motorhome for 5 nights. We were camping with our grandson and he had a blast hiking the trails over and over, watching beavers build their dam at night, seeing gators for the first time as well as fireflies for the first time. The park was nicely laid out with a great buffer of privacy between the sites. The sites were spacious and everything was clean. Our grandson especially enjoy walking to the ranger station, checking out the cool nature display they have in there and asking questions, and was so happy to get a sticker! He also enjoyed playing on the playground.
This was a really peaceful and enjoyable park, wish we could have kayaked, but it was actually quite chilly while we were there. We would return if in the area again.
Price reflects the excellent $16/night camping free, plus $6.70 reservation fee and $7/night utility fee.

We stayed here for 5 nights at the beginning of February, so a bit chilly & some rain. The check in was nice & they have a great little info / vis center in the check in building. The sites are 90 degrees to the road instead of angled, but large with the little fence corral around them. We were happy to have a bit of a water view! Bathhouse was clean and had a nice hot shower. Laundry was in front of the bathhouse. The trails & day use area was very nice - ranger I chatted with for awhile was full of interesting info and the pond was cool to see as there were two beaver dams and a beaver lodge! Easy grocery shopping in either direction and 3rd Planet Brewing was nice for an afternoon beer.

A beautiful campground, with lots of trees, and a view of the Aquatic Preserve. The grounds and facilities are all well maintained and functional. All the sites are well shaded, but our Starlink was still able to work. The one thing you need to know is the park is on the flight path of very fast and loud jets flying out of Elgin AFB, and it sometimes feels like an air show! The staff are all friendly, personable and very professional.

We just booked this State Park as a filler between two destinations but we were really pleasantly surprised at how great a state park this is. This is a water and electric only campground and I'd call it big rig friendly-ish, we did OK with our 40 foot fifth wheel but the road is narrow and the sites are a 90 degree back in. The park is fairly small overall but has 40 campsites, water access, nature trails and a great day use area. The park has an interesting history, it was part of Eglin AFB and during WWII it was used as a practice range by Doolittle's raiders.
Utilities are good, water pressure was decent and the power was steady at 123 volts. Both Verizon and AT&T were fast enough for streaming and we got a handful of OTA channels.
The area around the park has most everything you'd need and in about a half hour you can be in Destin checking out white sand beaches.

A small park of only 42 camping spots nestled in the woods. Located just off the main road makes it easy to find. However, it is far off enough that the road noise isn't obvious.
All spots are gravel except the ADA spots. Spot 42 had a moderate front/back slope, but very little left/right slope. Some of the other spots were more severe. Even saw some Class A and Bs with their front tires off the ground. All spots have water, 20/30/50 electric hook-ups, picnic table, fire ring, and laundry line. Spots 1-15 have some distance and trees between each other. However, most of the spots past that are almost right next to each other with little to no trees.
The single bathhouse is located in the middle of the camp. It is cleaned daily and is in very good condition.
The several miles of nature trails are clean enough to know which way to go, but left alone enough to still feel like you are in nature.
The camp store is very small and mostly just sells little knickknacks. Kayak rentals are available. There are several pavilions, grills, and picnic tables close to the water's edge.
No Wi-Fi. Verizon cell service was good.
