This park's peaceful surroundings on a peninsula between the Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River in St. Mary's County belie its history as the location of a camp which imprisoned as many as 52,264 Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. A museum on site recounts this vivid history. A park map is available at park headquarters, the camp office, camp store, and the Civil War Museum/Marshland Nature Center. The Point Lookout Lighthouse is currently closed for renovations.

Located 30 mins from Pine Needle Nest, but a nice scenic drive.

There is another lighthouse to view here. It is one of the oldest in the USA. It is believed to be haunted and offers limited tours to people interested in seeing a ghost. There is also a nice beach with pebbly sand. There is camping, but bring your bug spray. There are trails for walking which are also haunted. The worst hospital in history was in use during the War Between the States. Thousands of Southerners suffered and died here from neglect. Folklore tells that frequently while walking these trails, Northerners may still hear a whisper telling them to leave! Southerners hear whispers too, but much kinder. They usually hear, "You're all right" and "You can stay".
