No Cash accepted, the rest room and showers were not working and locked.
The guard at the booth is very inexperienced.
He charged me for entry but failed to mention that the showers and restrooms were not available.
They dont offer a map of the area and expect you to already know where your campsite is located.
I received more information and assistance from the TOMS THUMB CONVENIENCE STORE, than from any of the park rangers.
I planned my visit weeks in advance and received no updates on the issues that were there when I arrived.
HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!

The camp hosts are great. The temperature in August is brutal. Read all the length/height info on the site you select before you reserve . Many sites are shorter than the combined length of tow vehicle and camper. Not to mention the low hanging trees that can cause a problems with placement of camper unit. The beach is great. Campground "A" has refreshed bathrooms/showers, didn't visit the other campground bathrooms/showers.

We loved staying at Fort Pickens. We enjoyed the short history of the fort given by the rangers. It’s unfortunate that cellphone coverage is very spotty, also the Fort store can only accept cash because of the unreliable internet service. My only negative comment is the condition of the walkway to the beaches from the campgrounds. The boards are warped, dangerous to walk on it. They require a major upgrade before someone gets hurt.

Campground A is an excellent choice as there are campsites with good shade and it is a close walk to the beach. The bathroom and shower were nice, but could use better ventilation as it was very hot in mid-August.

What kind of campground in Florida doesn’t have air conditioned bath houses?? I’ve been to cheaper state parks that have air conditioning in the bath houses. For 1/2 the price I’ll stick with the state run campgrounds from now on. They’re a much better option

Convenient and clean. Ready to go back. A little tight on backing in and you definitely need to consider parking in overflow for most all bumper pulls
