Three CCC camps were established in Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park in 1933 - 1942, one at each at the battlefields of Chancellorsville, Wilderness and Spotsylvania Court House.
Camp MP-1 was built near the location of the old McCoull House
on the Spotsylvania Court House battlefield
.
When the camp was closed in April 1936, the VA state police recruit school moved in for a brief time. Eventually, the buildings were removed except for the shop building which is currently used by the Park Service for maintenance and equipment - the only remnant of the Bloody Angle CCC Camp MP-1.
