We have stayed at this site a couple of times. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice and clean bathrooms. Sites are fairly roomy and have a nice view of the bay. Destin right across the Mid-Bay bridge. However, this is a toll-bridge. The sites do not have fire-rings. There are several community fire-rings along the bay. Lots of long-term campers. A lot of the sites are in poor condition. Most of the sites patio covers and grill are severely rusted. Also, the sites we were given had ruts, exposed roots and were not very level. Lastly, the Mid-Bay Bridge can be noisy. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We had a wonderful time with our children at Mid Bay shores. Host and Hostess were extremely hospitable. Facilities were spotless. Much to do in the Destin area. Only downside was slight noise from bridge to Destin. Would highly recommend this for military and eligible DOD employees. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We had made reservations months in advance and confirmed them before we left the house. When we arrived at the camp ground the manager told us that the park was full and that the reservation we thought we had were never forwarded to the camp ground. The problem is the office making reservations is located 4 hrs away and the two sites do not communicate very well. We finally got into a site, fortunately someone cancelled. The camp ground was over grown, in poor repair and bi-sected by a very busy and loud overhead bridge. The overhead canopy over the picnic table at our site was damaged, the picnic table itself broken and the grill was rusted through the bottom. It appeared that many sites were occupied by very long termers. The only thing going for this place is that the restrooms were at least clean. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This is a great place for those who enjoy nature. We saw deer and an osprey. Huge sites, many with woods between neighbors. The 50 amp sites on the back row are especially spacious. Mature trees shade all sites. Most sites are bare sand, but a few are gravelled and the four designated as handicap accessible are concrete. No sewer hook-ups, but a dump station is available. Boat rentals are available. There is no official swimming area, but plenty of good places to swim at your own risk. Has three nicely laid out nature trails--just watch out for the chiggers. The Destin beaches are just a few miles away over a toll bridge. This park is a good alternative to Topsail Hill and Henderson Beach state parks, which are nearby. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This park is a real gem! If you want to see what Florida used to be like before it was developed, stay at Rocky Bayou. It's clean as a whistle, the sites are large and level. Each site is surrounded by an attractive fence on three sides. It is obvious that they are trying hard to preserve the natural vegetation of the site. Even though this campground is right off the main drag,and only 20 minutes from Destin,you would never know it once you are in the park. It is quiet and serene. There are several walking trails available and canoes to rent if you want to go out on the large bayou. Or you can launch your speedboat if you like. We saw lots of families skiing on the bayou. The one and only disappointment was that there is not a designated swimming area. There are signs posted about warning of alligators and this being Florida, we took them at their word. No swimming for us(at least, not there.) But everything else was so nice we hated to leave. We will definitely be back next year for a 1 week vacation. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This State Park would be a 10 if it had sewers! Showers and rest rooms were very clean. As a FL I paid half the nightly rate which is very nice. Have stayed here several times and highly recommend if it fits your travels. We camped here in a Motorhome.
