Fort Pickens Recreation Area Campground

I loved the white beaches as I have never seen white before. Check ahead as half the spots were flooded when we arrived but ours was dry. The spots are spacious but to park on the pad was very very tight. I had the most difficult time I have ever had in the last year. It didn’t help that I arrived after dark. Very friendly place as everyone waves. The fort had free tours so take advantage of that. Be aware that different offices and rangers only do specific parts of the park so gate guard know nothing about camping and etc. I would definitely come again!

What a beautiful and pristine beach! The tent campsites are a little on top of one another, but walking distance to those gorgeous beaches. Lots of osprey and their nests. The fort areas are really cool too. We didn't get to go into Ft. Pickens itself this time, but we plan to when we go back.

The Fort Pickens area is South of Pensacola and Gulf Breeze, Florida. It offers many activities, from touring historic Fort Pickens to enjoying the unique white sand beaches of Northwest Florida. Fort Pickens and the Visitor Center are located one mile away.
