Showers can use some major upgrades but other than that we had a wonderful stay and will be back again!
@TammyR4052021 · Camped on Sep 1, 2025 at Campsite #C7
Such a large fort! It was awesome to check out the fort and all the batteries.
@JulieS4767669 · Camped on Aug 29, 2025 at Campsite #E7
It a very good park love the fort and beach but the showers needs a towel bar and to be updated. My camping spot and the one next to it flooded so maybe add some dirt spot E5 and E6.

The beach are great and so are the restaurants. But the campgrounds could be better we have stayed here for the past three years and every time we just dont enjoy it like we do big lagoon. The bathrooms at the campground grounds could use a major upgrade especially in the showers.

The location of this campground is incredible. Miles of beautiful beach right across the street and down a boardwalk. Lots of wildlife and quiet. The sites of campgrounds are small but good- many with shady trees. The cons of this campground are the bathrooms and especially the showers. Not cleaned often and pretty bad. Two out of the four or five showers didnt have hot water when I was there a few weeks ago. If you arent using the facilities, then the location of this campground makes it a great place to stay.

Awesome stay at Fort Pickens we were there week before Labor Day low crowds and we were blessed with wonderful weather with the beaches being pristine.

Clean restrooms and friendly staff
@JohnS6889697 · Camped on Aug 19, 2025 at Campsite #A21
Great campground, bathrooms are very hot during summer.
@WilliamDCF962B · Camped on Aug 19, 2025 at Campsite #E59
Showers are terrible. They are never cleaned.
@Chrisd8356495 · Camped on Aug 18, 2025 at Campsite #C41
Overall camp ground was nice. The electric hookups are positioned towards the back so you either need an extension or will have to possibly park over your fire ring as it was right next to the back of the pad. Not all were positioned in the same location for each spot. We just got unlucky. Bathrooms need a lot of attention for cleaning and returning to a basic operating condition. The location was great for seeing the Blue Angels practice! Beach access was so close to us. Overall a really good experience!
@LouisM63AFA904 · Camped on Aug 18, 2025 at Campsite #E10
Brought blue tank to dump station, it was extremely difficult to use.
@RoyW6940414 · Camped on Aug 14, 2025 at Campsite #A1
Very close to beach access without need to drive.
@BuckAD1C5BEF64 · Camped on Aug 13, 2025 at Campsite #E24
Everything was wonderfuljust wish all showers were in working order and had a seat to make it all the essentials while showering. Beautiful place!
@ramonab7AD8AB5 · Camped on Aug 13, 2025 at Campsite #D23
I'm a local, love the place,we left our tent poles behind and they are holding on to them until we can get back out there and pick them up. They were in a bag on the picnic table. Thanks guys.

My husband has been visiting this park since he was 5. Started coming here years ago when it was a state park. He brought me here after we married 40 yrs ago. We love Ft Pickens. We usually come every summer and stay for 2weeks. It is beautiful, we always see or experience something different every time we come. The park is well maintained and the staff is helpful and kind. Like I said we LOVE Fort Pickens. Bike trails are fun, fishing onthe pier or beach, sunning at the beach, visiting the Fort, watching the Blue Angles, exploring all the history of the park. It worth the trip!
@oranp7ADFA253F · Camped on Aug 11, 2025 at Campsite #E9
It was a great place to stay! Quiet and spacious, and within walking distance to fishing and swimming at the beaches.
@InnaD18739D0BA · Camped on Aug 9, 2025 at Campsite #D2
Everything is wonderful. Good for fishermen.

I have visited Ft. Pickens for many years, but unfortunately, the quality of the experience has declined. The restroom facilities were in extremely poor conditionby far the worst Ive encountered at any campground. If more attention were given to maintaining cleanliness rather than strictly enforcing minor issues, such as a tire briefly touching the grass during unloading, the stay would have been much more enjoyable.During our visit, we cut short a six-night reservation after only two days due to these concerns. Adding to the frustration, while our vehicle received a warning notice for a tire on the grass, another truck across the street remained in the same condition throughout our stay without issue. This inconsistent enforcement left a very negative impression.Sadly, after years of returning, this will be my last visit.

Fort Pickens is excellent National Park. Beautiful beach and a lot to do at downtown, naval base and Pensacola Beach. The park is well maintained and if have more trees for shadows will be excellent. As other parks, the people who cleans the bathroom need more close supervision because there not doing good job.

Beware of the upside down pineapples!
@StevenD7765858 · Camped on Aug 3, 2025 at Campsite #E65
The shower houses could use an upgrade
@Priscilla1CB00 · Camped on Aug 3, 2025 at Campsite #C4

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
