The Great Outdoors

While you rent an RV near Fred Gannon Rocky Bayou Campground, you can rest assured that there is no shortage of nature parks, stunning beaches, and wildlife conservation areas nearby. The campground is located within Fred Gannon Rocky Bayou State Park, a large recreation area bordering the Rocky Bayou. Step outside your Niceville motorhome rental, and you can go hiking, biking, fishing, boating, kayaking, canoeing, and birdwatching while you explore the park that you will be calling home for a while. Don’t forget to check out the middens and other amazing archaeological remnants of the Native American tribes who called the area home thousands of years before the Europeans arrived.Down on the Gulf of Mexico on the tiny barrier islands separating the Choctawhatchee Bay and the ocean, Henderson Beach State Park remains one of the most popular parks in Florida thanks to its pristine beaches, freshly built boardwalks, seaside ecosystems, and fabulous wildlife. A nature center on-site informs visitors of what they might see at the park while learning fun facts and fascinating information about the environment pertaining to the coastal park. Camping is possible by the beach if you bring your campervan rental for a multi-day excursion to the beach park.Gulf Islands National Seashore is essentially a national park in its own right. This incredible stretch of barrier islands lining the Gulf of Mexico stretches from Mississippi all the way to Florida, protecting these crucial environments from development.

Swim in the gulf, go fishing, or camp out beneath the stars; there is lots to do at this beautiful national seashore to the south.

Questions about RVs?

Q.

What type of RV should I choose?

A.

Start by determining how many people are planning to travel with you. Going on a solo-journey? Choose a camper van or a teardrop trailer. Bringing the whole family along for the ride? Consider a spacious Class A or five-wheel.

You’ll also want to consider amenities. For example, if you’re planning to cook on the road, you’ll want a kitchenette. If your campground doesn’t have public restrooms, you’ll want to search RVs with bathrooms. Check out full descriptions of our models to help you decide here.


Q.

Do the RVs have bathrooms?

A.

Yes. Class A’s, Class B’s, and Class C’s and five-Wheels typically have bathrooms. Depending on where you plan on camping, you’ll want to double-check the availability of restrooms if selecting a rig without a bathroom. Nervous about renting an RV with a bathroom? Owners can help show you how to clean the tank or will offer to do it for you for a fee.


Q.

How does check-in work?

A.

Once an Owner approves your RV reservation, you can coordinate a time to pick up your rig or have it delivered to your doorstep or campsite. At that point, the owner will do a key exchange with you and walk you through the RV and answer any questions you might have.
