Fort Pickens is an exceptional site: close to beautiful beaches, spacious lots, wooded environment for privacy. The only problem: difficult to reserve only weeks before!

The way our reservation was canceled due to the storm was not great, but the campground and beach are amazing

We checked in on Mar 1 to check out Mar 15. On Mar 4 the campground was closed due to forecasted gale force winds. Based on past experience we expected to return on Mar 6 after the park staff was able to assess any damage. Unbeknownst to us until much later on the 5th we learned that the entire remainder of our reservation was canceled. Once our reservation, and those of all the 180 campsites were canceled, all sites showed as available. Many people had automatic availability notifications in effect and these people were able to take our site. We were able to get 4 nights in another site and had to park our vehicle in overflow. Our relations were made 6 months in advance. We reviewed rec.gov policy on closures and learned we were supposed to be given an option to return to our site after park reopened. Rec.gov representative said park admin caused all reservations to be canceled. Park representatives pointed the finger your organization and offered no help in restoring our reservation. Shame on you and park at admin for the callous indifference to those of us who traveled great distances to be there only to ruin a highly anticipated visit. We fully support the NPS and other federal venues, but this was just lazy on both the NPS and Recreation.gov.

We really enjoyed the camping at Fort Pickens. The sites are nice,the beach is great. A lot of history around the park that was interesting. A great place to watch the Blue Angeles practice too. There is also great restaurants and shopping just outside the park as well. Do wish there were better dog friendly beaches nearby. The ones we found were so small you are not going to take the dog on a walk on them. Probably 50 yards of beach is all that is available, and none inside the park.

Great access to the beach. Sites have plenty of room. Good showers.

Need the walkways to the beach repaired. I think this would be an excellent Eagle Scout project. Need trees planted. The signs along the trails need replacing since you can't read a majority of them. I didn't really like having to stop at the main gate all the time to show my pass since I was camping in the park. There must be a better way. All in all the park was well maintained and the facilities clean. The hosts were very friendly and would answer all your questions. The fort is always a fun place to stop. I always learn something new. The Blue Angels are a must see. The fishing pier is a great place to spend time with the family. The lighthouse and the Naval Aircraft Museum on the naval base are always a great place to spend the day.

Be aware that one loop in the campground has a height limit of 12’ due to an overhanging tree limb. It’s not apparent when booking and I lost one days payment when I found out the day of my arrival. My 5th wheel is 13’ 6” high. At least I didn’t lose my ACs!

Of all the federal campgrounds that we visit this one was definitely in the worse shape. I understand they have had previously had a storm but some of the parks we have visited also experienced the same issues. In my opinion this park is not managed properly.

Beautiful setting along the ocean. Bathroom facilities are showing their age, but clean and in good repair.

Our new favorite Florida destination - amazing historic Union fort to explore, numerous gun turrets and batteries, miles and miles of unspoiled white sand beaches. This is truly Florida's hidden gem. If you like peace, quiet, and seclusion on amazing beaches, this is the place to go.

Beautiful park. Great location, wonderful history. Nice roomy sites. Bathrooms could be cleaner but adequate. Loved it.

Great place. Would seem you would be right on water. But it is not.
