"It’s camping with a side of war lore at Fort Pickens Campground. Tucked at the westernmost tip of Santa Rosa Island, this massive campground has numerous areas for RVs, tents, and camper vans, most shaded by towering live oaks and all accessible to the beach on Pensacola Bay. Activities include watching the Blue Angels soar overhead on practice flights from March through November, the Fort Pickens fishing pier, and touring the Civil War fort itself, a mighty brick garrison built to defend the bay from naval attacks in 1834." - Matt Kirouac
