Some possible things to consider in no particular order...
Knoebels in Elysburg, PA is fantastic and affordable. Plenty of camping around the area including one of their campgrounds that is as close as is humanly possible.
Watkins Glen is neat (the actual Glen in the state park).
Boston is worth a visit. Avoid driving in the city if possible. Driving under it is better, at least when it isn't rush hour, but propane is not permitted in the tunnels. Lots of history and museums, etc.
NYC could occupy all three weeks without much trouble. (Same for Washington, DC...perhaps even more so there.) I personally like camping at Floyd Bennett Field, though I do not enjoy getting there and back so much!
Philly has noteworthy historical sites and cultural institutions as well.
In DC, go to the Udvar-Hazy Center if you can (on the grounds of Dulles airport). It is a massive annex to the Air and Space Museum with an impressive collection of aircraft on display, many quite rare and unique. There are of course a large number of fine museums in Washington, whether part of the Smithsonian or not.
