Lovely campground. Used shower & laundry in Loop C. Trail to fort was nice & loved riding my e-bike around the park.

Fort Pickens is one of our favorite campgrounds. You have access to the gulf, the bay, and the fort. Lot's to explore and learn about. One thing I will do next time is look more carefully at the site selection - some of the sites have shade, while others have more sun (there is a restoration project in progress to replace lost trees).

Very good campground and shower facilities, excellent camp ground hosts. Would definitely visit again but would appreciate an off leash area (dog park) to allow pets and service dogs to get some good avtivity levels and play with other dogs.

Nice area that is secluded away from the hustle of the metro areas. There is plenty to walk and explore around this area. Verizon cell phone service was acceptable for movies, etc.The only negative if you view it as such, is driving back out to the city. Not because I is far in distance, but because of the necessary speed limits within the park. I will be visiting again one day and loved the history / area.

I love to camp at Ft Pickens. The history, the gorgeous beaches, bird spotting, it's all amazing. Unfortunately this trip was interrupted by several heavy storms and many of the sites were flooded. I felt bad, especially for the tent campers. But I'll certainly be back, just hoping for some better weather.

The bathroom facilities (especially the showers) are disgusting...

Great! The campgrounds were meticulously clean and the showers were nice. We really enjoyed the trails on the the way to the Fort Pickens area and the beaches.

We love this place and we will be back. The only issue we have is that the first night we were there, we woke up to 2 notices on our windshield stating we parked or tow vehicle incorrectly. This required us to move to a larger site. We are upset, in that we gave our vehicle sizes when we made the reservations, and they gave us that camp site. Not a total game changer, but in the future they might check the size of the campsite when assigning them?All in all, we like the campground.

Everything just went well, the water was incredible, the bathhouse was clean, the washateria worked you can get quarters at the registration office, and it rained 30 minutes one day. The fort and blue angels were amazing too. It is a good walk from camp to the beach but it was all good. Planning to go again next year. The least expensive way to go.

This is an awesome campground. Ever host was excellent. We were there for the storm in April that flooded the roadway.

Great week. This is our favorite campground. We love the location and daily access to the beach. The Blue Angels always add to the excitement. Love the easy access to the fort with bike paths as well.

A headsup: the power poles at site C17 & C19 and many others are at least 30 beyond the bumper paved pad. Fortunately, a gracious neighbor shared an extra cord and extensions barely connected the second site. Otherwise, nice sites, large, clean facilities with good pressured, hot water. Checkin was easy and hosts friendly!
@EllenC9303434 · Camped on Jan 9, 2023 at Campsite #C17
A great campground. Sites are all different sizes, we have a 24 ft with a bike rack on back and had plenty of room. Neighbors are close but so is the beach where you will generally hang out. The fort is amazing and very historical. Beaches are worth every moment, soft sand,clean and beautiful surf. Showers and bathrooms are clean. I didn't check out laundry facilities but I assume it was as nice. Bike/hiking trails are through the camps so easy to catch. I really enjoyed it and will return.

The bath house is extremely hot, no AC fan only. It is cooler out side than in the bath house!

We loved Fort Pickens! It had a secluded beach everyday of our trip. Couldn’t recommend it more.

This is one of the prettiest places I have ever visited. We loved the campground and the beach. It was so relaxing listening to the waves at night. The sunrises and sunsets were beautiful. We will be back!
