After what always seems like a long winter, it’s fun to finally get in our first camping trip of the Spring. This year it was a long weekend to Point Lookout State Park in southern Maryland. We have been staying at state parks more in the last couple of years and really enjoy them. Most state parks in Maryland have at least electricity and Point Lookout actually has a loop with full hookups. We have found that state parks are a little less expensive than regular campgrounds and the sites are usually much nicer, with more space and trees in between them. Point Lookout is located where the Potomac River meets the Chesapeake Bay. The lighthouse the park was named for isn’t the most picturesque lighthouse, but it’s worth visiting if you are in the area.

While we were in the area we also visited Piney Point Lighthouse. The weekend we were there was also the St Mary’s County Fair which was small but nice.
