The campground is a marshy area with not a lot of tree coverage so during the summertime it is HOT. I would try to avoid the summer months so you can really enjoy what the campground has to offer. With very little tree coverage the view of the sky on a clear night is unbelievable. One of the best spots for star gazing. There's a civil war museum and nature center nearby. While at the nature center/museum take their small walking trail around or rent a canoe and try out three of their water trails (Or bring your own canoe or kayak). If you're interested in fishing, there are a few piers and a boat launch. Our campsite was right across from a pier in Loop A. If you do decide to go during the summer the parking lot at the swimming beach quickly fills up so get there as early as you can. As of May 2022 Point Lookout Lighthouse is closed inside but is anticipated to open late 2022.
