The Naval Surface Warfare Center is located in Panama City just 90 minutes South of Fort Rucker. I found out they had camping and a small marina. We bought an old Apache pop up tent trailer for $250 for weekend recreation. The trailer had seen better days, but I decided I could make new canvas sides and rebuild it.
