We camped in our travel trailer in July 2011. Stayed on loop e, site 22. Great site. Could walk a few feet to the bay. Negative things about the trip: Hot, bugs and bathrooms clean but rustic. The positives out weigh the negative. Beautiful private beaches (no crowds, no condos, no high-rises). Wildlife was increbible. Plenty of bike and walking... More

Not a bad experience if you don't mind parking your rig in an open treeless area, somewhat like a big parking lot with grass between sites. Absolutely no privacy. I didn't take any pictures of my view of the dumpster but I am thinking about taking such kind of pictures during my future camp outings and posting them online so... More

Beautiful campground. Electric and water in good condition. Paved pads. Bath houses weren't perfect, but I didn't spend much time there anyway. Camp store that sold beer. Short walk to the beach. Couldn't figure out a way to use the inflatable boat though. They have a small ramp behind the visitors center but wouldn't let me store the boat anywhere. More

Fort Pickens was amazing. Much history and amazing it is still there. Very impressed and really enjoyed the tour. Would recommend highly. I really enjoyed walking around all the buildings and batteries. We camped in a pop up camper in Loop E since that is all that was left and was very satisfied. Low noise, not that busy at all....

We stayed at Ft. Pickens with our Grand children for the 4th of July weekend and Blue Angels weekend (July 8-9). My wife is a native of the area and since moving 20 years ago we visit every now and then. This is our first camping trip in a travel trailer. The good: Loop A is by far the best... More

My husband and myself stayed here for one night in a pop-up camper. We had a wonderful stay. The campground & restrooms are very clean. If you forgot anything there is shopping close by. Peg Leg Pete's restaurant is a must. Food is excellant and the service great. But, PLEASE don't go to the Dock Restuaurant right on the water.... More

We have been visiting this area for about 30 years. The hurricane devastation can still be seen in the wooded areas, tree trunks without any branches. Kinda sad, but the area is still alive with wildlife, if you are patient , and have a good eye. The road along the beach is still as beautiful as ever, tho prone to... More

My first impression..an area devestated by Hurricanes past. OK, accepted. What could be done now to make place better? ...On arrival the beach was beautiful as always.The campground however left much to be desired. I passed 4 park rangers shooting radar at entering vehicles.. good! Safe place. However, it could have maybe had 2 shooting radar and 2 cutting grass... More

In case you don't know yet. The road to Fort Pickens reopened earlier this year. I didn't camp. I was checking it out as I also dive; and one of the best shore dives in the area is down by the fort. My understanding is the campground still needs a lot of work and is only available as a primitive... More
