closest cg to pensacola naval base

There are Navy campgrounds in the area that your daughter can sign you in to if there is availability, assuming daughter is active duty. www.militarycampgrounds.us

Gulf State park isn't too far from there. I think the park on base is two day minimum.

We stayed two nights at Big Lagoon State Park. It is good for a short stay, they don't have full service. We visited the Naval Aviation museum, it is a straight shot from the park.

The one on base is real nice and there's a free Naval Air museum right down the road that is outstanding with WW1 and WW2 planes. If your not military and your daughter is a dependant she can get you a campsite.

Fort Pickens camp ground is a close drive also.

Highly recommend the base campground for your stay if you can obtain a spot. Also look at the Blue Angel campgrounds on HWY 98. This is another military campground that requires Military/DOD sponsorship. Both of these are well maintained campgrounds. :)

Big Lagoon SP is no more than 10 minutes from the west gate on FL 173/S Blue Angels Pkwy. Sites have power and water, dump station, nice showers and restrooms. This is the closest outside of the one on base. $20 per night plus taxes and fees.

Ft. Pickens is a 35 to 45 minute drive across two bridges and thru downtown traffic to the east gate at the Duncan Rd bridge.

https://www.recreation.gov/recreationalAreaDetails.do?contractCode=NRSO&parkId=2743&recAreaId=2743&agencyCode=70904

This is an expensive alternative, as you pay a $20 entrance fee (good for 7 days) plus $40 per night camping fee. Water, power, dump station and nice showers and restrooms.

On base is Oak Grove RV Park, near the museum and lighthouse.

She can sign you in. Availability might be the issue though. They stay busy. If it is just for 1 night it might not be worth the hassle.
