Preview: Don’t let the number of campsites at Gulf Islands National Seashore scare you away. The campground is big, but it has two loops that are for tent campers only. The blinding white beaches and fascinating Fort Pickens are worth putting up with lots of other campers. The strangest part of the whole deal is getting used to the idea of camping and recreating at a former military installation. Fort Pickens was an active post until 1947. The campground consists of five paved loops with paved parking spots at each campsite. A pine overstory is mixed with some live oaks. The campground floor is a well-manicured grassy lawn. There are no bushes which means little or no campsite privacy. But the campground as a whole is immaculate.
