Great park and great location. Lots to do in the area.

@DavidD5028320 · Camped on Apr 3, 2025 at Campsite #B3

The campground was clean and comfortable. I loved the idea of providing buckets to take to the beach area to collect garbage. The showers were not the best but the restroom facilities were clean. We would definitely stay there again.

@KrisE096DD507F · Camped on Apr 1, 2025 at Campsite #C6

Beautiful park! Clean and well maintained. The beaches were gorgeous.

@RudolphM845C81 · Camped on Apr 1, 2025 at Campsite #E66

We loved the camp ground, very quiet and beautiful. Our spot, on a corner was spacious and had a lovely tree. Walking distance to the beaches. I also had a great experience when I called with a question about our spot. A ranger (or host?) who took my message, walked over to look at the spot, and called me back with an answer. Excellent service. We also toured around the fort - very interesting history. Would love to come again.

The shower house in the tent loop is somewhat trash. Use the ones in the camper loop on E. 100% difference. All in all a great spot for a getaway. Nice and quiet.

@RobertO7909406 · Camped on Mar 30, 2025 at Campsite #E42

Campground was great. Bathroom was clean. The shower needs much improvement

@ElizabethM1936 · Camped on Mar 30, 2025 at Campsite #A22

Access to the gulf and sound were great and the trails enjoyable. Fort Pickens is great to explore as well and you can do that at your own pace throughout your stay. The trash however is really sad to see. I realize it probably washes up from the gulf, but I picked up 8 or more Walmart bags 'stuffed' full in the two days I was there ..... PLUS carried more than a dozen huge items not in a bag. The sound side was also human trash, cans and menstrual material dumps. I think it would be wise to follow Blackwater River State Park example and have a trash pick up station and encourage others to pick up what they see. The only place I could throw the trash I gathered was in a big dumpster at the park. A child or short person could not even reach that lid. Maybe a secure trash can at the trailhead of each beach walk or something ..... Destin and other beaches don't have a smidgeon of this much trash. Or ... maybe find a volunteer that would walk the beach outlet areas each morning to pick up at least the huge things that wash up would be really appreciated. Just a thought. Blackwater River State Park keeps their trails and river beach fronts pristine somehow and the difference was very noticeable.

Such a peaceful and beautiful seashore. The campground was well maintained with clean bathrooms. Our site was small but we were there to spend time on the beach and exploring the fort.

@ChrisG1203337 · Camped on Mar 29, 2025 at Campsite #E37

Had a great time!

@RAYK7C71AD3305 · Camped on Mar 28, 2025 at Campsite #C48

wonderful campground...well maintained...had a very joyful time while there....the fort was very impressive

@JayC7170948 · Camped on Mar 28, 2025 at Campsite #A19

I was in A19 with a 25' trailer and there wasn't enough room for the trailer and my truck. Wasn't a big deal but, I had to park my truck in the overflow lot. Loved the campground though. Clean and well kept.

@JEFFERYH781231 · Camped on Mar 27, 2025 at Campsite #C24

We come often, very often, because it is a place of beauty.

@TomD9914097 · Camped on Mar 27, 2025 at Campsite #E24

Our favorite park east of the Mississippi! We love the beaches.

@MarkA9878568 · Camped on Mar 25, 2025 at Campsite #A2

Go see Blue Angels, amazing experience!

@LeslieL7411957 · Camped on Mar 24, 2025 at Campsite #E44

Excellent campground except the bathrooms were gross.

@JessicaM144623 · Camped on Mar 23, 2025 at Campsite #B10

We love this camp ground so much and have been going once a year for over 10 years. It is wonderful that they have the tent camping with nice shade. I would highly recommend it.

@PabloB139D74A0 · Camped on Mar 23, 2025 at Campsite #E45

Nice, flat site for our popup. Bathrooms were clean and there's a dish washing station available right outside them. Relatively short walk to the beach on either side of the campground. We are a family of 5 and had an absolute blast. Spent the days at the beach, one at Fort Pickens, and the nights were quiet to sit by the fire and make s'mores. We will definitely be coming back.

@GeneS7771803 · Camped on Mar 22, 2025 at Campsite #C23

I tried to cancel my reservation and apparently failed

@KayeC0B8E77D90 · Camped on Mar 22, 2025 at Campsite #D24

Great campground for tent camping and small rigs like ours. Love this place!

@TimothyC204641 · Camped on Mar 22, 2025 at Campsite #D13

Love the place!!!

@RyanS4713424 · Camped on Mar 20, 2025 at Campsite #C8

This was our 4th time here. We absolutely love it! You can't beat the beauty and peacefulness!! Yes the showers are a little run down but they are completely serviceable, but for $40 dollars a night, what do you expect?!. The camp host were fantastic and the weather was perfect! We are already planning to go back next year!

@HopeH229C2409E · Camped on Mar 19, 2025 at Campsite #A34

Nice campground. Laundry facilities were very helpful. Showers and restrooms were fairly clean (the shower walls could use a scrubbing). Sites are a bit close, but there is a lot of vegetation in loop A, which helps. No mosquitoes or ants in March. The nature trail access was right there in the CG, and the birds were active. Saw a formation of 8 Pelicans.

@LouisG9053710 · Camped on Mar 19, 2025 at Campsite #C18

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
