Always enjoy my stay here each year. I love hearing the National Anthem played in the distance at the military basr and like seeing the occasional Blue Angel fly over. I lile that is has the calmer bay side water to go to on one side and.waves on the other. The history of the fort there reminds pe to keep in prayer for out nation. Personnel are professional and on top of things.

Great location and campground! From our campsite we were able to bicycle to Fort Pickens (incredible history) and to the beach (wow). An unexpected treat - two days of the Blue Angels flying overhead!

Loved our stays. We frequent Fort Pickens a lot. Check out Blue Angel practices. Fort tours are interesting. Don’t forget the lighthouse in the Pensacola NAS and the huge Navy historic aircraft. Bath houses are clean. No crowded beaches. Langdon community beach and more of a private beach feeling in the two boardwalks to the Gulf side. Nature trails are wonderful and very informative. A GREAT experience!

Nice park although pads are small. Parking a vehicle along with motorhome is a challenge. Park hosts were not very nice. We been traveling for 5 months and this park was the least friendly of all parks we stayed in, including several national parks. Also VERY confusing re-entering NP. Their system is the worst we’ve experienced.

We have been coming to fort pickens for about 5 years now and have loved it from start. The beaches are beautiful. And you have more then one to choose from. There campsites are all different some more private and some more level then others . We love campsite 40 loop E. Loop A seems to be more popular. And after riding through we could see why. Campsites are definitely more private. It might take going a couple of times to find the right spot for u. But you wont be disappointed. And like us you will want to come back every chance u get.
