Mid Bay Shores Camp Grounds

Okaloosa County, FL

Mid Bay Shores is a military-exclusive recreation area in Niceville offering RV sites, tent camping, and bungalows directly on Choctawhatchee Bay.

Located on the white sandy shores of Choctawhatchee Bay, this recreation area is operated by Maxwell Air Force Base's 42nd Force Support Squadron. It serves as a gated retreat specifically for military personnel, retirees, and DoD civilians. The grounds feature a mix of full-hookup RV sites, primitive tent spots, and fully furnished bungalows, all situated just off the Mid-Bay Bridge connector in Okaloosa County. Visitors have access to a variety of on-site amenities including a fitness center, a modern bathhouse with laundry facilities, and a private boat launch with a fishing pier. The location provides easy access to the shopping and dining districts of Destin across the toll bridge, as well as nearby natural attractions like Fred Gannon Rocky Bayou State Park. While the beach area on the bay is uncrowded and scenic, it is strictly reserved for eligible ID card holders and their authorized guests.
