Bottom Line: An Anne Arundel County park a bit off the beaten path with limited access during the…read morepeak-season but lovely views of the Bay year round. Thomas Point Park in Annapolis is a county park that offers beautiful views of the Thomas Point Lighthouse, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and the bay in general. There is a pavilion that can be rented and a day camping area but I believe what makes this park so popular in the summer months is that its a good fishing spot. As the name implies, the park is on a point of land that jets out into the bay offering great views of the water year round. From November through March visitors can drive into the park without paying a fee. But if you are wanting to drive into the park April though October then you need to obtain a permit and I think they can be a bit tricky to come by. Permits are sold at Quiet Waters Park and sold on a limited first come, first served basis. A limited number of daily permits are sold each morning and a total of 75 monthly permits are sold each month on the last Thursday of the prior month. So yeah, a little tricky but its understandable that admission to this small park, which is accessible through a residential neighborhood, needs to be limited.

Look at the reviews unless you're looking for shark teeth or something like that, do not bother.. heck, even then there's better free beaches. It should be free. It's public waters. Does not belong to the people to try to make money off of! Paying for beaches in general is a joke it's part of mother, nature, & we're there trying to enjoy This bitch should definitely be free !! If you're going to charge, don't be stingy and ask for $10 or even $7 -Even some of the best beaches I've been to have all of them free. The only time I paid a fee it was $3 and it was a very well-maintained clean area with food on beach, trash, cans, and clean bathrooms and an amazing beach. Stop profiting off of people in these deceitful ways!

The water was warm and filled with long tentacled jellyfish when we visited, but honestly they weren't even that big of a deal. I really liked that the waves were minimal, because who likes getting their asses handed to them when all you want to do is relax in the water for the afternoon. Sounds like On nice days a lot of boats pull up to hang out as well which is super cool. Overall I'd pick Roaring Point over OCMD any day because it's less crowded and more chill. My friends and I were basically the only people there and people typically pay loads of money for that type of exclusivity whereas here it's free.

The boat and RV storage area is fenced, gated, and locked all the time (from what I witnessed). There are a couple "cons" and a whole lot of pros to this place. Cons: occasional traffic noise when drivers on RT 301 are being rude and honking horns; occasional banging that sounds like close-by firework explosions and screeching of trains coming from the coal-fired power plant across down the shoreline; the best spots close to the river are hogged by full-timers who live in their campers as if they are in a trailer park; no WiFi and Verizon cell data coverage is spotty even on clear days (LTE and 3G). Pros: nice staff! HUGE campground with good facilities, lots of lawns, and child- and pet-friendly atmosphere. Big children's playground. Horseshoe pits. A covered pavilion - it's huge! Clean, updated bathrooms with showers in the campground AND at the marina. RV repair shop onsite- nice guy who does emergency repairs and scheduled maintenance. 10 clean/working Speed Queen washers, 5 huge dryers, tow folding tables, and a bathroom in the laundromat. Two HUGE dumpsters that get emptied regularly. For the sites that are not full hook-up, Aqualand staff come around and clean out your black and gray waste tanks for you. The marina also has a little store that sells drinks, snacks, fish bait, licenses and gear. And they sell propane on-site at the marina (fill your tanks). The sites #'d in the 90's are the nicest sites, IMHO. The sites #'d in the 50's back up to a huge field that looks like it was once used as a small airport (or a long straight roadway, I cannot tell which). All of the sites are long enough for your Class A/B/C, 5'er or travel trailer, and most are wide enough to park your vehicle next to your RV. Many of the sites have mature trees covering them, topped up two as not to rub against the top of your RV.

We didn't get to enjoy many of the campground's amenities because we spent most of our time exploring DC, but based on everything we experienced, we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. My youngest really enjoyed the tractor ride!! Highly recommend!

The site has a lighthouse in classic Maryland style, but it's rarely open. There are some places where you can get in the water, but many where you cannot. The conditions out here can be a little rough, either from too much wind or, immediately inland, fetid swampiness. The history of the place as a Civil War penal colony is interesting. There's some placards and such, but not an enormous amount of actual stuff to do when I've visited. It should be noted that while these are not part of the park, visitors will see a memorial to the site's many lost inhabitants and a separate Confederate memorial as they drive up. For locals, getting a pass may be worthwhile. For those visiting the area, there are a lot of prettier and more interesting sites you'd be passing on the way here.

Again, it was a beautiful place but I think it's more for older couples and maybe we can get away for groups of adults.
