Excellent campground located in an awesome part of the US, the Gulf Islands National Seashore. Short stroll to the beach, excellent hiking, biking on shared roadway and the history of Ft Pickens. Well worth the time and expense driving there.The interior of bath houses could use an update. Mirrors are faded, benches not present in the showers, timed faucets not working, etc. Nothing that could not be addressed in short order.

Loop A is a 5 minute walk from the beach. It doesnt get better than that.

Beautiful area. Sites were nice. Camp host was pleasant. Neighbors were friendly. Would love to come back. We enjoyed biking around the area and The Florida Scenic Trail too!

We stayed for eight nights in Loop A and walked to the beach several days to watch the sunset. We walked or rode our bikes to the fort almost every day. We also biked into town twice (15 miles round trip). We had a wonderful tail wind going to town but a fierce headwind returning!! We attended two ranger talks which were very informative. The bathhouse was kept very clean, and we appreciated that there were laundry machines available. We hope to return sometime.

Always a pleasure to stay at Fort Pickens. Campgrounds are clean and orderly. Park rangers and hosts are very friendly and helpful, birding, the beach, and the fort is always enjoyable. An of course The Blue Angels never disappoint. This is a great place for campers of all ages to visit.

Fort Pickens is our favorite place to visit. Only complaint is to many people fishing where we we're trying to play in the sand and swim. It took away from our fun. I think they should a designated fishing area away from the swimming area.

Simply my favorite campsite.

I dont want to tell because you will take my spot. Best place I have stayed at in Florida. Best beach, worst bathrooms, prison quality, except they are sparkling clean. Something is always broken, washer, dryer, showers which we depend on for longer stays. Government, step up and fix your national parks!!
@PhilipS8287414 · Camped on Mar 6, 2022 at Campsite #A9
Besides being on one of the most beautiful beaches, the campground is well kept and well respected by other campers. The staff is always polite and helpful and there's plenty of trails and of course the beach!
Good

We stayed in Loop A of the campground for 14 nights. Our campsite was great and convenient to the beach. We enjoyed visiting the Fort. The shower house in Loop A could use some upgrades. Two of the shower rooms were out of service. The beaches are some of the nicest on the Florida coast.

My favorite campground beach is beautiful
Excellent

The rating would be five star if repairs from storm damage where completed.
The walkway from Loop A, to the beach was closed forcing users to follow path created along board walk. Other beach use facilities were also closed, too. with limited porta pots for use. I understand damage was from the last Hurricane.
Since the bay bridge is still out it's a long time for detour due to traffic you should allow an extra 45-60 minutes for detour.
We were on Loop A and bathrooms and showers were hot, really! and very clean, too. Bathrooms and showers were cleaned and disinfected daily.
Thank you!

Arrived on April 17th to find the gate closed without being notified.
I understand the place got flooded due to storm but not to be notified of the closure is unresponsive. I still haven’t been refunded my money. We boondocked with 25 other campers in the public parking lot. I will never return to ft. Pickins again.

Beautiful Beach. About 9 miles of undeveloped beach. We had a wonderful time riding our e-bikes along the beach bike trails.
Major Issues
@DanielA4184025 · Camped on Dec 20, 2019 at Campsite #A9
Was looking forward to enjoying the weekend there but when we got to the campground site, when we plugged into the shore power, it shorted our surge protector and transfer switch. We had to leave since we had no power and it was expected to get much cooler that night as well as a storm coming in. We have since got our RV repaired.
