For campers that like things closer to basic camping in unspoiled nature, this is great place to camp. The rates are great especially for national park pass holders. Loved $20 a night at discount. It has nice bath houses and most sites with electric and water. Also laundry available and dish washing station. There are also primitive tent sites available. Short walk to bay or ocean. Easy drive to Ft Pickens and numerous battery sites for site seeing. Easy drive over to Pensacola Beach when you wish to go for dining or shopping or other activities. We love it. Highly recommend for campers who wish to get away from high priced resort camping.

So many things to do here. You have several historic Forts to explore. A discovery center to learn the history of the island and the wildlife. A bookstore with wifi. Beaches to swim . Pier fishing and land fishing. Many trails to ride your bike or walk. And a gated group tent camping as well as tent camping in campground. And the Blue Angels practice and fly right over the campground and forts.

Nice to sleep when you can slightly hear the waves. Great facilities. Explore the Fort. Hang out at the beach. Kiting is great because it is not as crowded. Known for best shark fishing in the pass.

We were here 1/27/22 - 2/2/22 for stop 2 on our 3 month winter escape The campsites themselves are quite close together and not much for vegetation between them. Excellent clean bathrooms and locking individual shower rooms. Several little trails for dog walking. Good recycling set up. Lots of wildlife and easy walking access to miles of gorgeous beaches IMO sites # 29-30 -31 would be great. We will definitely be back. Also we were able to make a reservation in 10/21 for this time in late January with no problem

We have a 44ft Roadwarror Toyhauler and the campground was designed years ago so its tight and spots are small we were in #C46 and had to park our 3500 Ram in overflow parking. Its beautiful on the white sand beach 🏖

This campground is on a national seashore, which means you either need a national parks pass to get in, or you'll need to pay the entrance fee (in addition to the campground fee). We paid $40/night but seniors get half off.

Water and power at sites, dump station with non potable water for sewer needs.

We rode our bikes to the fort one day, very interesting place.

The beaches were so nice and warm and the sand was so soft and white when we were there in December. Not too buggy at all, and there are resident armadillos that roam around the campground, so cute.

Free hot showers.

No privacy between sites at all, luckily we didn't have neighbors on both sides otherwise we would have felt really cramped as the sites are pretty close together.

There are different loops, and one dedicated for tents only.

Recycling bins on site. There's also a take a book / leave a book at the ranger station where you check in.

Really cool nice mellow campground, very peaceful.

I stayed here one night to camp off my motorcycle. The national park is absolutely gorgeous. Very short walk to the beach from the loops. I wish I could have stayed longer, but will be making a special trip back just to enjoy it more than I could in one night. I highly suggest getting a site on the outside of a loop and near the end. Sites are kind of small and the ones in the middle are very close to each other. I was on the inside and super close to my neighbors who happened to be a very large group of college aged kids that were drinking. It was very loud and obnoxious. I just put in my noise canceling ear buds to tune them out.

Amazing location within walking/biking distance of the fort and beach. Only downside was the wifi and cell signal wasn't strong enough to work so we only stayed the weekend.

One of the nicest places to camp! Great facilities. The beaches and sunsets are breathtaking

We camped for 14 days and loved it. The beaches with there white fluffy sand and beautiful sunsets, will take your breath away. The campground is very clean and well maintained. They even have a laundry room. People would put dvd to share which was nice with so many rainy days

Such a beautiful, unspoiled place! Shelling, hiking, watching sunsets, and a peaceful well run campground.

Our recommendation would be to book early in order to avoid having to move from spot to spot. Be advised there is no sewer hook up so water conservation will be in necessity. Also they have a great bathroom/bath house facility as well as a dishwashing station which came in handy because there is only a dump station.

The beaches were spectacular and we enjoyed great fishing as well as other ocean activities. 

Aside from the campsites being a little too close together, this park is wonderful. Within walking distance to the beach, great fishing, beachcombing, and lots of trails to walk. Bathrooms are cleaned regularly, plenty of hot water, and camp hosts are friendly and helpful, as are the park rangers, who can always easily be found.

The beaches cannot be beat. The campground is reached through an unavoidable toll and a park entrance fee ($25/week personal vehicle). The grounds are well maintained but the bathrooms are basic as basic can be. There is no market contrary to what is listed on here. Firewood can be purchased at Tom Thumb or back across the bridge at the Publix in Pensacola. The drive to the campground from Pensacola beach is a long and winding road where you can see the bay and gulf at the same time. Definitely go visit the fort, bunkers, and batteries. Langdon beach is beautiful and clean with flyovers from the naval base often.

Love this campground. Will definitely come here again. Love listening to the sounds of the ocean while camping.

We have camped at this campground for many years. This will be our last time unless we buy a smaller RV. Here is the newest post on the website. 

BE ADVISED: Effective January 2022, MAXIMUM COMBINED RV AND VEHICLE LENGTH will be 32' and MAXIMUM HEIGHT IS 12'. Length restriction includes ALL vehicles; truck and trailer or motorhome and car. Campers will be REQUIRED to present RV Registration. 

Our camper height is 12'8", combined 5th wheel and truck is 44'. The policy in this campground is that the trees come first. They do not and will not trim the trees. So to protect them, they are limiting size of RVs. Some campsites the trees are only 10 feet above the paved camping pad. 

We camped here Dec 5-15, 2021. The campground was only 1/3 full. So if you have a small trailer you will have no problem finding a campsite. The price of $20 was because of Senior Pass. Normally it would be$40 for Electric and Water only. The bathhouses are new and they have laundry as well.

Amazing, quiet, great staff, spacious sites, and amazing fishing! We’ll definitely be back to this location!

Fort Pickins is a large National Park campground on Gulf Islands National Seashore in Florida. There are 4 camping loops. Loop D is tents only. The others can accommodate small/medium RVs and travel trailers. There are water and electric hookups snd a dump station in all but D loop. Bathrooms and showers. Every site is just a short walk to the beach. Some sites have shade, bu those on the inside loop do not. Also, because of the trees, there are hight, length, and slideout restrictions on some outside loop on sites. Be sure to check before making reservations. Reservations can be made through the .gov website.

Whether it be tent, camper, or full RV

• Sights with power $40 per night * Fire Pits 🔥 * Picnic table * Power hook-up

• Sights with NO power $26 per night (Standard) * Fire Pits 🔥 * Picnic table

The camping for tent sites was nice expect they are hard to book at last minute. I was there during the last week of September 2021. During the week it was peaceful. However, on my last night there “ Friday” I had some very rude tent campers surrounding me. They were up all night extremely loud ~ holleringuntil I couldn’t stand the noise any longer I got up around 3:00 am and started packing up since I was leaving that Saturday. They have some nice showers through the campground with hot water and there is also a laundry room at campground A .

Beach access is awesome

D10 was super spacious and the grounds were well kept. Showers are gross, covered in black mold, and have poor/low ventilation. Park staff were so nice and helpful! Will definitely stay again.

For those campers who enjoy a more basic less touristy campground, this one is great. Has rv hookup sights, bath houses and laundry facilities. But no facilities like crowded pools, game rooms, etc. Park rangers are great and always had very helpful camp hosts. Best step above primitive camping while allowing for close to nature setting. Short walk to water, good coastal fishing, Ft Pickens historical site to visit, etc. Not long drive to town. We love it especially in early winter.

Love Fort Pickens...on the soundside of Pensacola Beach. So beautiful, has electrical outlets, indoor bathroom and showers with outlets. Limited number of campsites.

Recently bought a rooftop tent and wanted to test it out. Rangers are wonderful and super helpful! Campers were great and we were able to bring our dog with us! The facility’s are super clean and well taken care of. Definitely going to make another trip!

Kinda don’t want to share this hidden gem. This by far is the best camping destination ever. 

Super private, security is tight so you feel safe. 

Ocean is crystal clear.

This close-to-home Campground is an all time favorite for anyone who has been here. We especially like to stay here in early November for the Blue Angels Homecoming airshow. They have been working to update the restrooms here. Many of the campsites are out of this world. Others are designed for RVers convenience and may seem a little bleak for many tenters. The road leading to the campground may be affected by flooding during extreme storms. The beaches are A1 and the Fort is very well care for. Overall this campground gets a 10!

Great place to go for a slow beach style. 

Spacing does not feel as tight as it is, the bathrooms  and showers are decent, dumpsters and dump stations are in decent proximity. Spots are back in

There are some really sweet  secluded tent only spots with shade and breeze along the south parameter of the loops.

The Family and I have been camping here for years in a 33ft tow.

We set up a "beach camp" with a canopy and leave it over night and never had an issue. 

I highly recommend this place if you want a relaxing beach style with beautifully clear water and sugar sand. 

There is a convenience store about 10 minutes away by vehicle and super markets about 20-30min depending on traffic.

Tip: Look for, and get your ice from the kiosk machines, after coming off the Beach blvd. bridge (2nd bridge), after you pass the large holding tanks, first building on the right  (sand drive).

Went here often for fishing with the kids! Had a great time walking the beaches and swimming. We would go down every Christmas and take pictures of the us on the white sand beaches for the family living in the north! Haha absolutely stunning year round!
