Insofar as I can see, it is all a matter of where one wants to draw the line. The national guard fort near where I live is very small. A typical USMC camp is much larger, but the USMC does not have forts, only camps. The reason for this may be because the word fort implies defense, and the USMC prefers to think of themselves as an offensive organization.
