RV Rental Point Lookout State Park, MD

Did you bring your hunting gear and license? Point Lookout has set aside 240 acres of land for hunting. Feel free to also use the three blind sites available for hunting waterfowl. Make sure to read up on the most up-to-date laws and regulations for hunters in the state of Maryland. See what animals are in season during your motorhome camping trip. In the right time of year, you just might catch yourself a coyote, rabbit, turkey, duck, or deer, to name a few.

Don’t forget to pack your hiking boots. There are a few trails worth exploring in the park. The Periwinkle Point Trail is self-guided and loops you around the Civil War Museum. There are also three water trails that take you down to the point of the peninsula and up to Chesapeake Bay.

Learn a bit of history at the National Park Service Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Site. It’s a long title and an amazing story. A museum in the park used to be an old hospital during the Civil War where employees had a reputation for guiding runaway slaves to freedom. Make sure to check out this historical monument to civil rights while camping at Point Lookout.
