Our stay was in a van, and so the rainy weather didn't affect us much. Nice being near the beaches, the fort, and seeing the Blue Angels practice. The bathroom was good and clean as were the showers.The folks in tents weren't well served as the heavy rain flooded many of them out.

Great location, well stocked restrooms, hot water showers, drinkable water (!!!). Can hear the ocean from this site. Very little light pollution so the stars look amazing. Rangers are super friendly & helpful. Multiple rangers and other staff at this site went out of their way to help me out or point out cool nature stuff. Other campers were quiet & considerate. There is also a nice hiking trail that leads through nature into the forts at this site. Walking distance to beaches. Felt very safe here, staff are doing regular rounds on a quiet golf cart. About 30-45 minutes from town, so it was a good place for me as a beginner since it was easy access to supplies (their local Walmarts are well stocked with camping gear) Local people were super nice. Definitely avoid buying anything at Pensacola Beach; the prices are insane. Its worth the drive into Pensacola for gas/food. Overall I love this site and will be back very soon. Its a bargain for the price.

Always wonderful stay, with many things to do inside the park. Walking through the Fort is fascinating. The beaches on both sides, ocean and bay are beautiful. The Loop D, for those using tents to camp are well maintained and facilities are clean and close.

We enjoyed kayaking in the bay with the dolphins. The toilets were always clean. We liked how the showers were not in with the toilets. Campsites we’re not on top of each other. The beach and bay are within walking distance. You can hear the waves at night.

Our tent camping trip was not really five stars, but that was due to overnight tropical storm conditions that collapsed one of our Coleman Insta-Tents and drove us to a local hotel for the night.

Our trip that night from the campground to Gulf Breeze was quite difficult with very strong winds that quickly covered the road with sand drifts and made it almost impossible to see where the road even was.

Five stars goes to the road crew who cleared off Fort Pickens Road OVERNIGHT and allowed us to return first thing next morning, right after daylight to load up our gear and get out again.

We were really impressed.

Beautiful campground! Everything was great. My only complaint has nothing really to do with the park but with the US Navy's aviation team.. they fly right over the campground creating an extreme amount of noise pollution. How must this affect the shorebirds and marine species? It can't be good. I find no worth in the Navy practicing and emitting their wasteful gases, polluting our skies and ears and wasting our tax dollars. Let's get rid of these dumb planes and give the money to conservation.

We love going camping at Fort Pickens and go back every spring.
