About this park

The campground is located on a barrier island between the Gulf of America and Pensacola Bay. Groves of live oak trees are scattered across the island, providing shelter for resident and migrating bird populations, as well as shade for park visitors. The Gulf Islands National Seashore is home to sparkling blue waters, white beaches and coastal marshes. However, more than 80% of the national park is underwater, as it's a vital protective habitat to marine life. Pets are NOT allowed on beaches, ferries, piers, in forts, batteries, pavilions, or inside any of the facilities.

Recreation
Many visitors young and old come to Fort Pickens to enjoy its scenic location on the beach. The white sands of Gulf Islands National Seashore are the perfect place for a long walk or an afternoon on the beach. The warm ocean waters are great for swimming and snorkeling. You will find a fishing pier just a short distance from Fort Pickens and can be used by visitors without a Florida fishing license. Hiking trails provide beautiful views and hours of exploration. Historic Fort Pickens, a pentagonal fort built to defend Pensacola Bay in 1834, is just 1 mile from the campground. The structure was fortified after the War of 1812 and was one of four forts in the South never occupied by Confederates during the Civil War. Pets are not allowed on the beach, ferries, piers, in forts, batteries, pavilions, or inside any of the facilities.

Nearby
The campground is a short distance from restaurants and beach nightlife, downtown Pensacola, the Pensacola Naval Air Station and Naval Aviation Museum, the Pensacola Lighthouse and other historic sites. Campsites are within 1/4 mile of the beaches.
