Love this place and will most definitely come back for a longer stay. Would have given five stars, but bathrooms could use updates and better cleaning.

This is our favorite place to camp, lots of trails to hike or ride your bike around the area. Beaches are a short walk from the campground.

Was a unique experience staying here...Huricane Rafael was offshore and we had a bit of rain...loved our time here and look forward to a return trip.

Beautiful park, beaches and views. The park runs on high standards, a.k.a. rules. Which shows and is appreciated. Although, the turnover is continual, it is very peaceful and relaxing. We loved the trails and walking the beach. We also enjoyed visiting Pensacola for a birthday dinner. Downtown was unique and historic with a good brewery and restaurants. We can't wait to return for more sun and fun!

My major complaint deals with how the park was shut down due to expected poor weather conditions. We were told that the park would be closed a minimum of 3 days, so we scrambled to make a 3 day reservation elsewhere. The park opened after 2 days yet we had paid for 3 days (nonrefundable) at the other campground. When I talked to a Ranger at the station I was told no one would have told us that the park would be closed for a minimum of 3 days. I guess we, as well as the campers next to us, were hearing things. The Park needs to do a better job of communicating the possibilities when faced with closing due to weather. The shower rooms need a little updating. One shower (out of 4) in our campground was never open.It would have been nice if the Visitor's Center would have been open.We had great walks both on the inland trails as well as the beaches. Bike riding was good with drivers respecting you and giving you space. For the most part the Rangers were helpful and informative. Be aware that you are isolated here and are 6 or 7 miles from large grocery stores.

Fantastic experience at Fort Pickens campground! This was our third trip and it just keeps getting better. Very US Veteran friendly. We look forward to returning again soon.

Great beaches. Noisy campgrounds with barking dogs.

We enjoyed our stay - easy walk to beach. The restrooms were just ok - men's soap dispenser was "broken" and had been for a while the other was missing. Shower rooms were not the best. One room the light was on a sensor so turned off several times while showering. Another room reeked of smoke and another room the lock got stuck locking someone in. April was a beautiful time to stay but a bit too cold to get in the water. The day we left, the campground closed due to weather and everyone had to evacuate. It opened back up the next morning. Be prepared as I'm not sure where we would have gone had it been in the middle of our stay.

Love this campground. Just always make sure you will fit in your site. There was a tree that almost prevented our slide from coming out. Will definitely be back.
@ChuckD612 · Camped on Jan 5, 2022 at Campsite #A5
Beautiful beach, great hiking trail, amazing history and beautiful sunsets.
@MaggieD512 · Camped on May 28, 2021 at Campsite #A5
Perfect place to camp, hike, bike ride and explore the fort. Perfected for a weekend with the kids.
@LarryH648 · Camped on Apr 25, 2021 at Campsite #A5
The beach is beautiful and quiet. Being able to watch the Blue Angels practice over the bay was a special treat.
@ChunMingH908 · Camped on Mar 27, 2021 at Campsite #A5
I had 2 nights on 2 different sites. Ground A is preferred than Ground C as it is less crowded and larger space.
@LindaB587 · Camped on Mar 20, 2021 at Campsite #A5
Absolutely Beautiful!
@AndreaH816 · Camped on Feb 13, 2021 at Campsite #A5
Fort Pickens is so pristine and beautiful. The beaches seem untouched and perfect. The campgrounds are very nice and clean.
