Seems like the place has gone way downhill over the years. People dont pick up after pets (perhaps because there are no waste bags available). Facilities closed due to maintenance and due to freezing temperatures with temps in the 60s. Restrooms are not stocked or cleaned regularly. They charge a lot of money for people to enter the park, but the money does not go to improvements or maintenance. The camp store has been closed for years. There just doesnt seem to be any effort any more. Camp hosts are very nice and they do their best.
Excellent

This is one of our favorite places to go. Nice quiet campground. We tried out some pier and shore fishing. A first for us. Had a really nice time. Also, there are a lot of bicycle riding to do for the ones who love to ride.
Some Coverage

The park was great, excellent access to the beach. The site was beautiful. The showers left a lot to be desired. They had definitely seen better days. Overall though I would highly recommend!

There were 4 kids (early teens) riding small motorcycles in the campground area early in the mornings and late evenings, they rode them illegally on the sand dunes. Nothing was done about it. We left early because of the noise from these bikes. The park grounds itself was very nice and a great place to visit. The restrooms need some serious work but with the current White House administration I dont expect that to happen soon. The RV sites are super small and there is no shade at all except for a tiny few sites. I will visit more federal sites but this one is a one and done for us. I man really aggravated that the rangers didnt say anything to these kids riding bikes on the dunes.

It was a lovely experience and a great place to camp. We wish the trolley and the fairy would run in February. It also would be nice for the store that is currently closed to reopen.

Very relaxing and quite

Beautiful location with good access to the beach and to historic Fort Pickens. It felt very safe but not super private. The sites aren’t real close but there are very few trees; it’s mostly open. Some cell service but no wi-if. Restrooms and showers were clean.

Wonderful camping near the ocean! We really enjoyed our time at fort Pickens and plan on returning again soon. It was nice having both the gulf side about 7 minute walk away and the bay side about 3 minute walk away from our camp site. The sites were level and nice, however were fairly short - so not being able to park at this site was a little inconvenient. Also, make sure you bring an extension cord to reach the power outlet/post. Overall, beautiful, can hear waves from camp, had a little bit of elbow room, and nice trail leading from campground.

The showers were outdated, no ventilation and plumbing was backed up. Some of the ones I went into were absolutely terrible.

Perfect spot if you want to spend your time on the beach!! Also, only a 20 minute ride if you want to visit the Pensacola boardwalk for shopping or restaurants!

Lots of space in our spot. No shade at any spot since trees are just beginning to grow. Decent location to walk to the beach. Showers were ok, most need updated due to broken hooks and old faucets.

Clean, friendly, quiet, relaxed, peaceful. Natural settings are beautiful.

Many of the spaces at the Fort Pickens campground are a bit too close together and have no privacy but that won't stop us from coming back! Overall, the campground is a quiet and comfortable place to stay. The fort and it's batteries are lots of fun to explore and the beaches at Fort Pickens are fabulous for shelling. We enjoyed bike riding along the roads and trails. We'll be back in the summer for swimming and kayaking in the crystal clear water of the National Seashore.

We love visiting Ft. Pickens. The camping experience was even better! Nice clean bathhouse on Loop E. The only complaint I have is with the firepits. They are rusted to the point of breaking down, and the cooking grate was not usable on ours. We could still have a fire, but we just couldn't cook on that fire. Other than that, it was a great experience!

Great campground, just make sure you have an access pass or the $ to enter the park before camping. The fort is neat we will be back to see it restored. Being that close to the beach is neat and emerald it is..
