Great campground. D23 is a good tent site. Bathrooms are good and free showers are all right. Able to walk to the beach and also to Fort Pickens from the campground.

I have ridden my bicycle to camp here twice. Beautiful ride into and around the fort! The tent sites are shaded. At night, some people might be bothered by the occasional Navy plane on a landing approach to the base, but I found it kinda fun. Other than that, it is a very peaceful place to camp with an amazing view of the stars at night.

Check the map for shaded spots. Some catch the morning sun quite early.The showers are not in with the bathrooms. You will need to use the restroom before a shower. The water got hot but not much pressure at all. The trails are bike friendly. Just watch for wildlife in the marsh headed towards the fort. The park is always so clean.

This site is wonderful (D23). It is shady and close to the bathrooms, garbage, water, and overflow parking. The overflow parking was important to me because I have a pop up camper (Aliner) and theres not enough room to park it and my car at the site. The shade was very important because there is no electricity and it was end of June and very hot. I normally get a site with electricity, especially in the summer, so I can use the AC but there were none available. The site itself is much nicer than the ones with electricity in this area. What I did not like at all was the shower! It was horrible!! One of the worst if not the worst Ive ever seen at a campground. The walls were moldy and stained and the shower itself is one of those thats narrow like a faucet but not as strong. Some were the kind that you push the knob in then the water comes out for a short time but you have to keep pushing. The one on the end has a knob you can turn but the water never got warm. That wasnt a huge deal because I was so hot but at night it probably would have bothered me a lot. I dont remember the showers in the other part of the campground (loop B I think) being so horrible when I stayed there last year. If I had stayed longer I would have driven to that side for a shower. So short version - site is great, bathroom is fine, shower is HORRIBLE.

we had a fabulous time at Fort Pickens Campground sites D22, D23 and especially D24 (the best site in the campground)! the camp attendant was very helpful and accessible. weather could have been better, maybe a little warmer. can you do anything about that? :)

Love love love Fort Pickens Campground on Gulf Islands National Seashore! Super clean, great facilities, quick walk to the gorgeous white-sand beach or to historic Fort Pickens. This is our second time here, and we plan to make this an annual midwinter getaway. So relaxing and beautiful!

A very pleasant place. A big plus, there are big trees and shade. Near the toilet and shower. There is no noise from passers-by to the toilet and shower. There is no smell either. The toilet is clean. The shower cabins are not new, but the water is warm, and you can always take a shower. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great place to tent camp. Proximity to white sandy beaches and Fort Pickens can't be beat. Bathrooms and shower facilities are in need of a little update, but were quite adequate. Already planning our next trip .

Make sure to wear insect repellent if hiking through the park because the stagnant water causes a lot of mosquitos. The beaches are gorgeous and the history associated with the Fort is fascinating!
@AnnaC571 · Camped on Apr 24, 2021 at Campsite #D23
We loved our stay during our time when we tent camped. The grounds were kept clean and well maintained. The beach was quiet, secluded, and remarkable. We will frequent much more often.

very good and cheerful staff, very clean camp and toilets.

Great beach, clean and safe camp ground, nice rangers. Already planning our return trip. The fort is great to explore, we even did a spooky night trip through with the kids.
