Do I have to pay this fine?

Do I have to pay a fine when I only made a wrong turn and quickly reversed back and went in the correct entrance? The fine is from the company apcoa.

This is not a fine. A private company has no right to impose a fine on anyone over a contravention of a regulation on private land.
