Beautiful place, nice. Campground and site for tent. Fire ring, picnic table, water faucet across from this site. (B3). Bathrooms were nice and fairly clean minus some inconsiderate campers' trash.

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.

Half a mile way to ocean. Parking spot for 1 car, but there is overflow parking. No text pad and no food box, sites are close to each other. I enjoyed this camp. There isn't any wood to be gathered.Entrace might have a line best to not show up at peak time on weekend and better to stop by at walmart before getting to site, instead of after.

Great place to camp within walking distance to the beach. The civil war history was a bonus.

Beautiful island, nice shady campsite, lots to see at the fort and batteries. If you are looking for a rainy day destination nearby, go to the Pensacola Naval Aviation Museum. Well worth the visit!

Not many tent campers as the weather was so-so. Feel more st ease now that park rangers are making rounds. Overall better experience than last month

This was a great spot with shade! Bathrooms were nice! There was a water hydrant close by. Loved this little spot!

The bath showers are disgusting with mold and poor up keep. They used to be so clean, not sure what happened to them maintaining them. The rest of the camp ground was as expected.

Absolutely gorgeous! We stayed 4 nights and got to see so much natural beauty and wildlife you wouldn't typically see in little resorts. The beaches were un crowded, peaceful and breath taking! 10/10 would recommend. We were tent camping and would recommend a source of cool air due to the humidity and a friendly reminder that you are IN NATURE and there are animals that will nibble on items others leave open at camp. Other than that absolutely amazing not to mention staff and volunteers were very Personable and so helpful. Definitely a "hidden" gem!

What an amazing place...the Park itself is just astounding, the remote environment makes for pristine beaches, and quiet times to access nature gently. My campsite was shady and close enough to the bathroom/shower that it made for easy, safe access (tent camping.) (I would maybe improve the showers a bit? FL State Parks shower facilities are nicer...and this used to be a state park in the past, I think.) I was very glad to stay here again, and hope this piece of paradise stays guarded from any onslaught of overuse and "too many footprints."

Super nice staff at check-in. Very clean campsite. And the beaches! Short walk to amazing white sand and beautiful gulf waters. If only other campers were more more respectful of usual camp quiet hours….
Excellent

Clean, well kept, and had a bench and a fire tray. Could not have been more convenient!

We had a wonderful day at your campsite. Looking forward to doing it again

Be sure to visit the picnic pavilion over at Battery Worth because there are lots of Osprey to watch. They fish, collect material to build their nests right there. I loved taking sunset pictures on the beach at Battery 234...great place for Sunsets and not too far to walk or bike! Find out the training schedule for the Blue Angels before you go. It’s fun watching them fly from Ft. Pickens.

We love Fort Pickens and have been camping there for 40 years (except years it was closed due to hurricane damage). However, money was spent to TAKE OUT the electricity in Loops B and D. We were told there would be charging stations but the only way to charge devices is to plug them in in the bathroom (or use an obnoxious generator). No one wants to stay in the bathroom while charging devices plus the plugs are right by the sinks so devices are at risk of getting wet. With no electricity, campers in Loops B and D can not use electric coolers. We need ice for our coolers (or again run an obnoxious generator). With no camp store, most of us have to drive into Pensacola Beach to buy ice every day or two. So there are many more people driving in & out of the park each day unnecessarily! It was a waste of money to take OUT the electricity. In the bathroom building for Loops B & D, only 2 of the 4 showers were available to use for our 2-week stay, which is totally unacceptable. With 42 campsites in Loops B & D, 2 usable showers is not reasonable. Campers in Loops B&D don't have rigs with showers, so they must use the shower in the bathroom. In addition, the two showers that were available were disgustingly dirty each and every day. The decision to take the water spigots out of each campsite and then put in fewer spigots scattered around Loops B and D never made any sense. The rule about parking our vehicles on the paved pad is not enforced. If vehicles don't fit on the parking pad, they should be in the overflow parking areas. We love Fort Pickens, but we are so very disappointed with situations that are fixable. I wish the money spent on the ferry and on taking electricity and water out of two loops had been spent on improvements in the campground. Both the trail from the campground to the Fort and the trail from the campground out to Langdon need work - between soft sand and big roots poking up, it is difficult to ride a bike.

Wonderful campground. We camped in a tent in the B loop. Quiet and out of the way. The staff were all helpful.

Favorite beach. Beautiful sunsets. Friendly hosts and Park personnel.

Tent camping in the B loop Nov 2019. Campground very nice, close to Gulf, spots are soft and sandy, with some small trees. If you are in a tent and want to hear only nature sounds (besides other campers) don't choose a site too close to the restrooms, which have equipment that makes noticeable humming sounds. My stay was delightful. The moment you drive into the park, its like entering another world. Very beautiful, very peaceful. Definitely recommend.
