LegendLocated only a short 10 minute drive from Pensacola, Florida this is a great state park! Despite damage left from hurricane sally, the trails around the campground are gorgeous and covered in white sand. There is one main dump station and the sites have electric and water. All sites are private and spacious, tucked in the woods. There are plenty of bathrooms scattered throughout the park and they’re clean. The price is always right for state parks! I believe it cost $20 per night and half off for seniors.
GuideThe 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.
ScoutIt’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.
TravelerWe went tent camping for two nights with our pups at Fort Pickens and we really did enjoy it. The campground was nice and clean. They had nice showers and potties as well. The showers in the RV section have better shower heads btw. The beaches are gorgeous! A tip for travelers with pets, FL does not allow dogs on their beaches accept in specific "dog park" locations. Our dogs are not.. eh, normal .. so we ended up driving down to a private beach so they could enjoy the ocean. There is a lot of night life but We decided to skip that this trip. We enjoyed the beaches in the park at night and i highly recommend it! All in all we enjoyed our trip but we probably won't be back to Fort Pickens campground. The sites are very close together and we had a very nosey and drunk neighbor who really wanted to chat. We camp to get away from people, just saying. We were also bothered by RV and truck lights shining directly into our tent both nights from people driving through the campground. Not the best but we enjoyed camping at the beach.
GuideWe absolutely loved this KOA. Staff was friendly and helpful. Departure day of our trip we had tire trouble (bolt in brand new tire) on our truck. Employee at camp front desk allowed us to stay some extra time at no charge so we could get the repair done and get packed up. Kudos!!!! Location is convenient to Gulf beaches and to Pensacola FL. Park is nice and quiet. Lots ate level. We chose one with a patio. Beautiful spot. Clean playground for kids. Dog park was a little rough but, hey, it's for dogs. We absolutely loved it here. Will stay again. Highly reccomend.
LegendEasy check in online. FHU-some shade, level concrete pad, picnic table. Easily backed in our 40 ft Montana. Very clean bathrooms, didn’t use just looked. Washer and dryer, and nice dog park. Close to lots of stores and restaurants, 20-30 min from beaches depending on traffic. Some traffic noise, since it’s next to a main road.
GuideVery clean, friendly park. Cement pad sites with all hookups. Easy walk to beach and restaurants. Dog park on site.
GuideWe arrived and everything was dry. The next morning, our site had literally turned into a pond. By the time I finished packing up to leave, I literally looked like I jumped in the river with all of my clothes on. Haha I guess that’s camping in Florida for ya. The park was nice overall. The bathrooms were okay. Full hookups and lots of trees so our service was a little spotty.
ScoutThis camp ground is growing so there was quite a bit of construction debris around, but looking past that. This spot is literally right off Hwy 10 at exit 26 making it convenient for travelers. I would not recommend this campsite for true "camping". On ground fires are not allowed and there are no trails or walking areas. There is a small dog park but it is not really a "park". The Pool looked nice, but was closed. Nice shower house with great shower pressure. Probably 50/50 on folks living there and those just stopping through. I stayed 3 nights during the week, it was very quiet. The price is great for the location close to beaches, rivers and city. Not the prettiest camp ground, but if you just want to park your rig while you hit the beach, good choice.
