We were grateful to find this campground open without reservations as we traveled through the area.
It has clearly been impacted by hurricanes and is in the process of renovating which we are very thankful for.
Our spot was very small for our 28 foot Airstream with a steep decline towards the road. Campground mixed tent spots and rv spots together which I think put us in a spot which would have been much more suited for tent campers.
Nice hiking trail to observe birds and waterways.
Would only use this as a pass through stay not a extended stay area. Brand new Aldi's grocery store just opened while we were there convenient on way to and from park.

Large sites with lots of vegetation between sites for privacy. Great location with easy access to groceries, restaurants, beaches, and more. Very quiet. Lots of places to walk with nature trails!

Check-in was great with amazingly friendly attendant! In fact everyone who works here was very nice. Our site was a little tight parking as our truck was blocking the one way road until we unhooked. Just enough room beside our RV to fit the truck in.
The site has 30 amp and water, no sewer. No biggie as we travel with a tote if we need to empty our tanks before our stay. With a 2 in 1 washer dryer combo, we can go through the water pretty quick! Our site 11 was pretty level, but we still used one plank under the wheels to get it closer to level before the auto level system is deployed. We don't want the wheels coming off the ground at all!
No WiFi, and we got between 1 and 2 bars Verizon most of the week. Not great, but certainly livable. The hiking trails were good right from our site, so that was nice.
There is a Publix a couple of miles from the campground and a nice golf course that I played on the 31st in Perdido Key.
For $22 a day, the value from this park is off the charts good!

This is our second trip to this state park but the first time we've visited after a hurricane. The roads are severely damaged and several trails are still closed off. We stayed on site 53 and the last campers left a hot, smoldering fire in the fire ring in the middle of the site. We had to relocate the ring and all the hot coals with a couple pieces of wood before we could back into the site. It was spacious enough for the TT and our truck fit well across the front of the site. The natural vegetation made the site feel private even though our neighbors were close. An armadillo visited each evening and the squirrels loved racing across the top of the TT. The trees on the side really need to be trimmed. I had to get out and hold several branches back to get our slide all the way out. The site is packed sand but we didn't have a problem leveling it side to side but we had to lower the front all the way down to level out front to back. A shower house, dumpster, and playground equipment were located close to this site. The dump station is right outside the loop and easy to access.
We drove to Pensacola beach to enjoy the day and realized that we were in the middle of the Foo Foo Festival when the Blue Angels arrived and put on a spectacular show overhead! (Nov 4 - 15th). The Blue Angels must take off and land very close to the park because it got quite loud at times. The graffiti bridge is worth a trip and Tops has a pretty good burger.

We arrived on July 18, 2021. We were told at the gate that the site we reserved (49) was not available because something happened to the electrical box. We were given site 39. After setting up, the electric shut off from the box. By that time the Ranger's office was closed. It is now dark outside. We found where the host campers were and he came down to the camper. He kept telling us we had too much turned on and that this site wasn't able to handle the amperage of what we had turned on in the camper. He kept telling us there was something wrong in our camper. Really?! So if you have a camper with air conditioning, a fridge, lights, etc., guess you shouldn't choose site 39 or 49. So ridiculous.
We were scheduled to stay 7 nights and the electric shut off many times on us. It shut off a couple times when we were gone during the day and the camper was warm when we got back but thankfully things in the fridge didn't ruin. I left a message with the Park Ranger manager the first night to either contact me or come to our site and we never received a call back from anyone.
Also, the sites are very short. So if you have a camper or RV that is 32 feet or longer, you may have a hard time getting into the sites. Your vehicle sticks out blocking the road when connected to the camper.
The bathrooms are very clean and the boat dock is very nice. Access to other things are still not open due to hurricane Sally. We had pretty good phone service with Verizon and we were able to connect to our direct TV satellite.

Quiet place to stay, friendly park staff and neighbors, close to the beaches, and the price can’t be beat! Highly recommend this spot.

Best part about this campground is it’s closeness to perdido key and sugar white sand beaches ! The park itself was quiet and well kept . Great showers . A lot of the park is closed due to hurricane sally in 2020 . But really enjoyed being so close to the gulf shore . Tent campers and rvs.

Great state park located on a bay across from Perdido Key. Our back in site was large, semi private, and super clean when we arrived. I think someone rakes each site! The park has some damage from Sally but they are working on it. Large, easy to use boat launch right in the park and the bay is a great place to paddle, etc. There are nice walking trails in the park. The beaches on Perdido Key are a short drive over the bridge and Florabama/Orange Beach are a few miles away. If you like watching aircraft, Pensacola Air Station has all kinds of cool things in the air! No wood sold in the park for campfires but WinnDixie nearby has plenty.
