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!
We stayed in loop E on sites 4&5. Theses sites are nice because they are on the side that backs up to the bay so you have fewer neighbors. We had a tiny popup so we maneuvered ok but it’s pretty tight if you have a bigger unit. There’s a nice walk to the bay right off of the site. There’s a small beach with a ton of tiny crabs. It was nice to go sit at night instead of making the longer trip to the gulf coast side. Our kids were in tents and they did get flooded on the first night when it rained. The fort itself is pretty nice, you can even visit at night with flashlights. You can walk to the beach but it’s kinda far , we packed up the truck with chairs and coolers and stayed all day. Awesome beach! Beautiful white sand and clear water. If you’ve never been, plan a day trip to the National Naval and Aviation Museum. So worth it!!! And it’s free! There’s also a lighthouse,but we stayed too long at the museum and it was closed. Just a slight annoyance with the campgrounds was that the bathrooms were surrounded by a sand pit, so when you’re nice and clean after a long day in the sand you have to walk through sand in wet flip flops 😂
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!
Four friends and I took a road trip for spring break and our first stop was the Fort Pickens Campground. We got there after dark but the campsite was easy to find. There were two bathrooms that were not a far walk from our site. The campsites were only a short drive from the beach and we made a pit stop there on our way out. Great place.
The location of the campground is great with awesome sounds and sights nearby. The campground itself was completely full and felt like we were packed in like sardines with many of the other campers not respecting our campground site or park rules in general. I saw numerous people strolling across other people's campsites along with ours. People also did not use appropriate firewood and collected it from the park(which they got talked to by the Park Rangers). Once everyone’s excitement settled down at night about 10:30 pm you could hear the sound of the waves crashing from the Gulf of Mexico and the bay. This made for an easy night sleep. We would recommend staying at this campground as the location had great history and things to do from touring Fort Pickens, walking the beach, fishing or taking a stroll on the Florida Trail.

We tent camped at Ft Pickens for the first time. For $26 a night, you can't beat beach access, good tent sites, walking to historical areas and endless activities. The armadillos and ospreys were an exciting addition to our camping area, and the restroom facilities were decent.
The only downside is lack of supplies,ice,food nearby and it's a drive to get to any convenience store or restaurant. But when you watch the sun go down, and it's just your family, a few ghost crabs and the historic lighthouse behind you- all that is forgotten.
Stayed here for two weeks. Conveniently located to many great restaurants. Nice beaches. Quite relaxing place to stay. Would definitely stay here again.
