Another of Florida's great state parks. Small and quiet with several hiking trails, water views, boat ramp, and numerous pavilions for large groups. Very well maintained with a constant presence of park volunteers and ranger patrols. Narrow roads that might present a problem for the largest of motorhomes/trailers. We had a pop up so there were no issues. Four sites are ADA and concrete. Several that are gravel. Most are sand. It rained heavily during our first day and the sand stuck to everything. At the same time the sand allowed for the water to quickly drain away. Would like to see the park gravel all the remaining sites. That's the only reason I couldn't give a "10" rating. Park rangers were friendly and helpful. Seemed to enjoy what they do. They sell ice at the ranger station. That was great since we ran out. Signs throughout the park warning of alligators but we tried and failed to find any. Little kids were swimming right next to the largest gator warning sign that boldly stated "No Swimming". They all survived. The most threatening animal we saw was a hungry squirrel. Sites are mostly shaded but the sun will angle through and get you part of the day. The town of Niceville offers numerous restaurant choices and you're not very far from Destin as well. We didn't use the dump station but it's location in the middle of the campground is odd. If you are in site 37 thru 42 you will have to exit the camping loop, come back in, and circle all the way around again. This is the oddest placement of a dump station I have ever seen. Not a huge deal...just different. Overall, a really great campground and one that proves Florida has the best state parks in the nation. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We have stayed here before and always come back when possible. They keep the campground very clean, the restrooms and showers are clean and the staff is always friendly and helpful. There are two parts to the park, you need to drive or short hike to get to the boat ramp and playground. They also have canoes available for 2 hour, half day or full day rental. Very close to grocery store, golf course and within reasonable driving distance to the beach on the gulf. There is shoreline saltwater fishing available or even a small freshwater pond where I caught a few bluegill. Only negative is the small paved roads are a tight fit where some RVs, parked vehicles and trees are close to the road. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We are to be here for 2 nights. The first site 41 we were assigned has ground electrical problems. They moved us to site 26. It also has ground electrical problems, although not as bad. We have meters and lights in our Bluebird that show when the electrical is not up to par. They checked with their meters on site 41 and found what I said was true. If you don't have an electronics hog like we do, it probably won't make a lot of difference. Nice people in the office and workcampers. Tight turns into the sites for big rigs. Most sites are sand so be prepared to track it into your rig. All trees, so no satellite service. Think we will pass on this park next time. We camped here in a Motorhome.

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.
