Weekend and holiday reservations required at the two parks starting Saturday, May 24 Sandy Point State Park, Maryland DNR photo. Beginning today, visitors planning to attend Greenbrier State Park or Sandy Point State Park for Memorial Day weekend as well as future weekends and holidays can make reservations at parkdayuse.maryland.gov.
