Has anyone been camping at Ft Pickens since the road has been torn up?? Me and some friends were thinking about going camping there sometime soon. Whats the best way to anchor to shore for an all night stay and not have your boat go bye bye in the middle of the night?

It would be best to just go across the pass and camp in the Fort Mcrea cove.

Because you are more protected in the cove and there is a sharp drop off from the beach allowing you to just drag your anchor over on the beach and setting it in the sand and being able to hold. Plus you just might run across a few other forum members.

And because to get to the camping area of Ft. Pickens, you must loose site of your boat by hiking to the campsites.  Not something I personally like to do.
