All as expected. No complaints. Beaches are excellent. It's a paradise

One of my favorite places to camp. Lots of history at the fort and beautiful beaches.

The workers and the hosts were super!! Maybe a weekly calendar handed out to campers letting them know what is going on so they can either go to or avoid those areas. We had a welcomed surprised to find out we were there for the Blue Angels. I noticed a number of campers/RV's were having a very tight fit--so when making reservations people really need to know what size will work. The drive pads (as stated) must include camper and vehicle. If not there are parking areas throughout the campground to park your car/truck. Being off season it was a long drive every day to get ice and try to find wood. I am not sure if there is a camp store open during the in-season. I would recommend bringing in a good supply of wood. Cannot help the ice thing. Wish there was a truck that drove through park selling ice and wood daily.Reserve early, is worth it.

Pretty average ocean campground. Grassy campsites with little visual isolation but a decent distance apart. Quiet, apart from daytime military jet flyovers. Good access to hiking and a short hike to the fort. Flush toilets, water points, even warm showers. Better than the average NPS campground.

Large campsite, wonderful holiday atmosphere. Natural wave soundscapes to go to sleep with. Walkable to both sides of the beaches. Impressed that there's a dish washing station!

I was very pleased by how well the grounds were maintained. As well as the facilities around the campground. The visitors areas were well presented and interesting.
@CraigG5548581 · Camped on Nov 20, 2022 at Campsite #D5
Beautiful place, the beach of course if gorgeous but the history and remaining structures are very interesting to explore. Would go back again!

It was ok. Sites slammed in next to each other. You can hear every cough and fart. This campground has more rules than 10 other campgrounds on rec.gov together.

We had an amazing trip, camping and exploring the fort! Couldn't have asked for a better vacation!
@LeslieW5118824 · Camped on Jul 18, 2022 at Campsite #D5
It was absolutely breathtaking, everything was clean, the trails were relaxing the beach fronts were like paradise I would definitely revisit and take the rest of the family. It is DEFINITELY a place you don't want to leave.

We tent camped. Campground was clean and well maintained. Beaches were amazing. Our kids loved the old fort, and the Star Wars style ww2 fortifications, and the planes. Only negative was the sites were too close together for me to really feel comfortable. Lots of people are not bothered by that, but if you are, well its tight. I prefer the parks where each site is kind of tucked in. They are planting native vegetation between the sites for privacy, which will eventually help.
@HarrisonGED647 · Camped on Mar 12, 2022 at Campsite #D5
Beautiful beaches, scenery, stars, and just the overall atmosphere. Campgrounds and facilities were very well kept and we had a blast!
@ElizabethH3073 · Camped on Feb 24, 2022 at Campsite #D5
Loved our spot at Fort Pickens. Easy beach access, quiet, clean, everyone super friendly!
@KirstyGEBD24E4 · Camped on Feb 6, 2022 at Campsite #D5
We had a wonderful time, very well organised. Will definitely be back if we are back in the area!

Two girls mistakingly took my camping spot which was no big deal so I camped in a nearby vacant spot. The Ranger was adamant about moving all of us b/c another camper booked the vacant spot I was in "up to six months in advance" for only one night. I suggested we swap spots but was told that's against the rules even though the other camper was there for only one night and I reserved my spot only days in advance. He was in a teardrop camper so I don't understand why things weren't more accommodating since he was willing to be flexible also and there were at least three empty spots in our camping loop. Even the airlines are more accommodating for passengers to change seats, why can't government camping Rangers take a lesson from them?

Love this place. Third time back did not disappoint.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The beaches are absolutely beautiful with the snow white sand and clear blue water. The water was a bit chilly in March, but I went in anyway. I was not going to let the cold keep me away. I drove to far not to take a plunge in that crystal clear ocean. The water was calm and could walk out really far up to my waist. We would love to return one day.

Perfect location! Great stay even though we were in a tent spot w/o electricity. And close enough to Pensacola to enjoy restaurants and bars there (Flounders and PegLeg Pete's).
