It really depends on how much time will be spent where. If Baltimore & Annapolis are the primary attractions then the Millersville KOA is the one. For DC I'd be inclined to move to a CG closer to DC. Cherry Hill is hellishly expensive for the questionable convenience of having a bus to the METRO.
I'll add Lake Fairfax Countty Park to Bull Run & Green Belt for CGs much cheaper than CH but close enough to a METRO staion with relatively inexpensive all day parking. LFCP is an oasis of tranquility, besides maybe Dulles air traffic by day, compared to CGs close to major highways.
We stayed at Greenbelt years ago in a PU. It is basically a park with no utilities, so you will be roughing it or using a generator (if they allow that). It is only a few mile drive to the Metro station, but be warned that traffic in that area is ridiculous and you can get stuck in serious gridlock during peak periods. It seems like every road in the area is about 12 lanes wide and there is a traffic light every 500'. Greenbelt is close to NASA's Goddard Space Center, if you have any interest to visit.
