    Overview

    Fort Pickens Campground is situated on Santa Rosa Island, a part of the Gulf Islands National Seashore south of Pensacola and Gulf Breeze, Florida.

Choose a site that will accommodate all of your equipment.__ Campers may not stay in the campground more than 14 consecutive days. This policy is strictly enforced. Entrance fees are required for the Fort Pickens area and are good for seven consecutive days from purchase.__ Pets are not allowed on any beaches sound and gulf side, ferries, piers, in forts, batteries, pavilions, or inside facilities.__

    Recreation

    Many visitors young and old come to Fort Pickens to enjoy its scenic location on the beach. The white sands of Santa Rosa Island are the perfect place for a long walk or an afternoon of building sandcastles. The warm ocean waters are great for swimming and snorkeling. Fishermen will find a pier just a short distance from the picnic pavilions. It can be used by visitors without a Florida fishing license. Many hiking trails through the sand dunes provide beautiful views and hours of exploration. Historic Fort Pickens, a pentagonal fort built to defend Pensacola Bay in 1834, is just 1 mile from the campground. The structure was fortified after the War of 1812 and was one of four forts in the South never occupied by Confederates during the Civil War.

    Natural Features

    The campground is located on a barrier island between the Gulf of Mexico and Pensacola Bay. Groves of live oak trees are scattered across the island, providing shelter for resident and migrating bird populations, as well as shade for park visitors. The Gulf Islands National Seashore is home to sparkling blue waters, white beaches and coastal marshes. However, more than 80% of the national park is underwater, as it's a vital protective habitat to marine life.

    Nearby Attractions

    The campground is a short distance from restaurants and beach nightlife, downtown Pensacola, the Pensacola Naval Air Station and Naval Aviation Museum, the Pensacola Lighthouse and other historic sites. Campsites are within 1/4 mile of the beaches of the Emerald Coast of the Gulf of Mexico and Pensacola Bay.

    Think of Big Lagoon State Park as a gateway. It not only offers swimming, boating, fishing, camping, hiking and paddling, but adventurers also can begin or end a 1,515-mile sea kayaking journey on the Florida Circumnavigational Saltwater Paddling Trail around the entire state. The top half of a kayak embedded in sand marks the launch site along with a box containing a weathered log book.

    The park is also a gateway for the Great Florida Birding and Wildlife Trail. The park is a stopover for more than 23 species of wood-warbler and a variety of ducks, sandpipers and black-bellied plovers. Bring binoculars or borrow a pair from the ranger station and roam the shore and extensive coastal forest, or climb the three-story observation tower for a bird’s-eye view.

    Begin your outdoor adventure at Big Lagoon State Park!

    Camping is available in designated areas. Surrounded by beautiful pine flats, the campground has 75 sites, each equipped with 30/50 amp electric, water, a picnic table and a fire ring/ground grill. Three full-service restrooms and a dump station are available.

    Just a drive by

    We were camping close by and did a drive thru just to see what it looked like. Smaller campgrounds with sites close together. It looks like it’d be a good option if looking for a spot in the area.

    Help is coming I hope

    Pros: Great location Good fishing Smaller camp site Friendly happy nice campers Great fishing dock Sites are close to level

    Negatives: Very expensive nightly rates Restrooms no soap for the four days we were there Restrooms in rough shape Crapped camping sites Bugs with (black flys) that bite are out of hand they draw blood

    We did enjoy our stay and will return in a year. New owners are taking over by November 2024, hopefully they make the improvements that they say they’ll do.

    Fun in the Sun

    Nice and quiet. Good separation between campsites with shade. Bathhouses clean and close to most campsites. Plenty of walking trails. Love the Bird tower and kayak launch. Sandbar near launch to hangout when paddling. Perdido Key state park is close by for great beach access. Free if staying at Big Lagoon.

    Great for the price if you are on a road trip!

    We used this place for the stop for the night during our cross country road trip. The pull through site 67 had a nice level slab which was nice. Free wifi available and no contact check in. Late check in was perfectly fine. Alot of folks do live here.

    Fort Pickens Campground — Gulf Islands National Seashore

    Fort Pickens, the good, bad, and ugly

    Really nice place to camp for folks who enjoy access to an uncrowded beach. There's a 25$ entrance fee(one time fee for campers)at the gate coming into the Gulf Islands area so not many folks who just want to go to the beach. The sites aren't spectacular(not a lot of shade)but they do have the basics 30/50 Amp service at many sites (campground D is tent/popup specific). Clean bathhouses and well maintained grounds. This was our 1st time visiting in the middle of summer (who knew FL is hot and humid in July) we enjoyed the trip but in the future will make spring and fall for our target dates. Access to beautiful beaches and the sound are minutes away. Fees were 40$ a night at the time of our visit.

    Wonderful!

    The Blue Heron Escape RV resort is one of the newest RV camping options in Foley, AL. It is the perfect location for beachgoers and explorers to enjoy Alabama's Gulf Coast. It is approximately 6 miles from Gulf Shores/Orange Beach. Additionally, the location is perfectly distanced to avoid the hustle and bustle of tourists, and it is close to shopping. 

    The owners, Scott and Gayle, are very involved with the resort and make the time to welcome you to the park. They are continually looking for ways to improve their guest's experiences.

    Makers paradise!

    Danny was a fantastic host, we got in later than expected which he accommodated and proceeded to show our daughter around his boats and property. He has a property that any macgyver could appreciate and a lot of cool plans for future rental areas. After speaking with him for a while he made it clear he doesn’t do this for the money but he really enjoys getting to know the people that stop in at his place. If you get the chance to stop and meet Danny I would take the opportunity.

    Clean and Simple

    It’s pretty new. It’s clean. The owner is great. He allowed us an early check in. Some full timers. Some passing thru one night only. Everyone friendly. It’s quiet. No parties. No loud music. Not much shade. Small spaces. No bathrooms. Few spaces back up to a 4 lane highway. Full hookups are nice. We were in town for the Blue Angels and didn’t spend much time at the park. It’s about 25mi or 45min from Pensacola Beach.

    Had the best time at Splash RV. It was my son’s birthday during our stay and they delivered a huge wooden cupcake with balloons to our campsite the day of his birthday. Staff is constantly cleaning up. Plenty of washers and dryers for laundry. Cute camp store and small arcade. Pool amazing is fun and clean.

    Gulf State Park Campground

    Campers with way too much stuff

    If it didn’t have the Gulf weather and bugs and or for that matter, the campers, this would be a five star campground. I sit here writing this review at the pool. I opened my book to read and the lady next to me brought out her Bluetooth speaker to blast music. Last night, a family chowed down on a can of pringles in the pool. Trash everywhere at the fishing docks. My husband went to put our wash in the dryer last night and dryers were filled with abandoned clothing. People have bicycles with horns.

    We did make the mistake of coming here during one of the busiest weeks of July, but that doesn’t mean that every campsite should be littered with crazy amounts of gear, despite it being so obviously oppressively hot and muggy that much of it seems unusable. I want to reiterate: the weather is vile but I still can’t imagine bringing fans to plug in OUTSIDE of my camper. The campers next to us have a large trailer, camper bus, a large truck and a golf cart. In one spot. That doesn’t include the bikes, the chairs, the tents, etc.

    The actual campsites and facilities are nice. Individual campsites are spacious and level and come with a grill and picnic table. Some site locations are much better situated than others (I would never want to camp along Campground Road - it’s insanely busy with cars and bicycles). It’s great to have a large pool w backside, clean and fairly large laundry facilities, a camp store and an exceptional network of bike trails. There is also a very awesome nature center, several playgrounds, pickleball courts, a boat ramp, and free bicycle rentals! There is ten bathhouses and while only three bathroom and shower stalls each seemed insufficient to me there wasn’t anyone in the bathhouses any time I utilized them. They were super clean and in reasonable proximity to all of the sites in the loop.

    The campground, which is massive (500 plus sites) consists of several loops, and is smack dab in the middle of the State Park. Campers get free parking at several beaches in the Park, which we utilized (beach was pretty quiet in the morning). I thought that was a great perk. We didn’t get to bike much between the heat and rain but the trail system looks amazing and there were plenty of staged opportunities for both free and paid bike rentals.

    The campground is located right smack dab in between Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, which is ideal if you want to go play some miniature golf or grab a bite to eat.

    I think coming off season is probably the best bet - we honestly didn’t even feel like we were in nature when we came and it was so darn humid I didn’t really want to nature anyway! I think the campground would benefit from allowing less vehicles at each spot - from my vantage point, I’m literally staring out at nine trucks for maybe three campers.

    Grater RV Hideaway Cove

    Micro Fenced-In Residential RV Hideout

    Located in the sleepy hamlet of MaryEsther, which lies equidistant between Pensacola and Destin, not too far from this stunning stretch of the Gulf comprised of emerald aqua slowly lolloping ripples of waves that wet the pristine white powder sand beaches that you’ll be lucky to stroll down should you find yourself in this part of the Sunshine state, Grater RV Hideaway Cove is less the traditional RV depot and more of someone’s idea to turn a small plot of unused residential land into a fenced-in, maze-like RV resting spot.

    So let me begin by saying that this micro-RV lot, which boasts just 9 slots, will not be for everyone, especially those that are looking for a pristine encounter with nature. Here, where you will be completely encased by 10-foot-tall wooden fences, which are for the most part, brand spanking new, with each site having some very decent space to spread out your camp. There are quaint touches throughout this place that attempts to convey a feeling of homeliness and familial welcoming, which somehow contrasts with all of the other signs you’ll encounter stating ‘private property’ or ‘you are under video surveillance’ from the few houses that are also encased inside this same wooden fenced-in residential enclave. In short, there’s a bit of a spooky element to this place, and dare I say (only because I'm now watching it for the second time now) giving off a bit of a 'LOST' vibe?  Jack, Kate, Sawyer and, most importantly, Hurley, can you help me?!

    I’ll be honest, rather than 'LOST' this place reminds me a bit of the dystopian scenario that plays out in episode 3 of ‘The Last of Us,’ wherein Bill, brilliantly played by Nick Offerman, is a post-apocalyptic survivalist who, once the entire town has been evacuated by the government, builds a fence around his entire neighborhood and nearby shops, fortifying this doomsday oasis with electric fencing, video cameras, search lights and booby traps. All in all though, if you can get over the eeriness of this place, I’m sure it’s a wonderful, private experience for those who don’t mind the set up and location that they find themselves encased within.

    Amenities: 360 degrees of 10’ tall wooden fencing, very level back-in sites with freshly laid gravel along with full hook-ups (20 / 30 / 50 amp electricity, water and sewage), pet friendly and, of course, security surveillance! There’s no onsite bathroom, shower facilities or even WiFi (why would one need these things in an apocalypse?).

    Insider’s tips? (1) This is certainly not a destination, and more of an option for those that simply need to park their RV somewhere for the night, unless that is, you really don’t mind the desolate environment of a ‘fenced-in-backyard’ kind of vibe; (2) As you are located just 3-4 blocks away from the main 4-line highway 98 here, you really are located close to prime beach heads, where you can either cross directly south of the highway to The Narrows or move further west to Upper Pritchard Long Point, both of which make perfect places to launch paddleboards and kayaks or go for a day of fly fishing; (3) When you get tired of trying to conjure up something interesting for your next meal, you will want to say ‘Mahalo’ later after heading on over to Kalai’s Hawaiian Kitchen for some amazing Kalua Pork, BBQ Chicken or Garlic Shrimp that really will make you feel like ‘Ohana’; and (4) If you’re traveling with kiddos, head on over to Emerald Coast Science Center for interactive, hands-on exhibits featuring biology, colors, vehicles and the human body.

    Happy Camping!

    Small & Charming RV park!

    Would highly recommend this adorable RV Park. Peaceful spot and we felt safe. Level gravel sites with nice FHUs! Owner Russel is very helpful & friendly and pays special attention to the landscaping with added touches, such as nice new picnic tables and a hammock at our sight, and charming outdoor decor! Close to Beaches, restaurants, shopping, and many area attractions! Walmart and Publix, with a pharmacy and liquor store, and a Citgo, just around the corner, on Hwy 98. Donut shop, Hibachi, laundry mat, coffee shop, and Murphy’s Vet clinic, literally across the street. I had Good reception with T-Mobile @ 4 bars.

    Gulf State Park Campground

    Great beach access with a ton of activities all around

    We stayed at spot 448. It was a pull through spot with a good amount of morning and late afternoon shade. Site was somewhat level, maybe about.75” lean on one side. Bathrooms were relatively close, but there was a lack of stalls for how many campsites there are. There is a lack of places to throw trash and the dumpsters are all the way back at the front of the park, it’s quite a drive. Not a lot of street lights throughout the campground made things nice and quiet at night. It was very nice that almost every spot had full hookups. The site had decent Verizon cell service, around 10-20 mbps. The Tmobile service was around the same. Service seemed to be better the closer to the main road you were in the park. The biking trails were amazing, very wide, with a good amount of shade. Lots of activities to do around the park besides the beach. You can walk or bike to the beach, although it's around 2 miles depending on where your spot is. Your parking pass for the campground also provides free parking at various beaches around the park. It’s only about a 15 minute drive to either gulf shores or orange beach for even more things to do. Overall the campground was clean, relatively quiet, right next to the beach, with a ton of activities. Negatives would be how expensive it is, lack of bathroom stalls, and since the park is so massive, it takes a while to get everywhere.

    Pensacola RV Park

    Solid Short Stay

    This review is written as a short stay versus a destination campground (CG). Our RV GPS and Waze took us to the Pensacola area, and then we followed the email instructions for coming in Eastbound on I-10 and taking exit 7A. They are the second RV park on Wilde Lake Blvd, 1/2 mile past the large Wilde Lake Church on the left. Check-in was super friendly and we were escorted to pull through site 64 with FHUs. 50 psi on water, 5 bars on Verizon, and a good shot to the north sky as requested for Starlink as this was Super Bowl Sunday. They had cable but we didn't use it. We were in what seemed to be their short-term area. The sites were close together but we did have a little brick patio with a picnic table. Solid CG for a few days.

    Very nice state park

    Very clean, well kept park. Good space between sites. The only downside I could find was I10 is close enough to be heard. 5 minutes away from battleship park. Plan for a whole day there if you really want to see everything they have to offer. Only an hours drive to the Naval Air Station at Pensacola. Highly recommend the museum there as well as Blue Angels practice viewing.

    Great RV Park! (Tents also)

    Our site was pull thru, all with FHU, great water pressure, gravel sites. Great place to decompress and unwind, in a natural environment. Spacious sites, also saw a nice tent area, several portable potty’s, and a free to use washer and dryer in the Hanger/guest clubhouse , that also has a sink station, picnic tables, and grilling area! Lots of added touches! 3 dog parks, dog washing station, mutt mitts throughout park(which was much appreciated,) a nice playground, tree swing, volleyball area, soccer field, and disc golf. This is our third time here, the first was for the balloon festival, and we stayed in a smaller back-in site, second time was for our granddaughter’s cheer competition, in Orange Beach, and now we are here to kick off the summer with our grand at OWA! The pull through site was partly shady and more than accommodating, with our truck and 40” RV. T-Mobile was ok, but we used our Starlink for work and streaming, which was awesome…no interference. We went to the fireworks at OWA tonight and ate at The Goat and watched the playoffs! The rest of the week will be full of fun at Tropic Falls, and ACC is within minutes of restaurants, stores and beaches!
