The land that Point Lookout State Park sits on served as a prison camp during the Civil War, but it's now one of the most popular state parks in Maryland. The park offers plenty of recreational activities, including canoe rentals, hiking trails, a boat launch facility, a Civil War museum, and ranger-led programs in the summer. There are more than 140 campsites in the park, some of which have electrical or even full hookups. There are also several rustic cabins available for rent; cooking is not permitted inside the cabins, but outdoor fire rings are provided.
