Best RV parks near Washington, D.C. and New York City?
The DW and I are planning a trip to Washington, DC and NYC for next summer. I'm looking for the best parks located nearby. We'll be arriving mid-July. Thanks!

My suggestion for DC would be to camp up around Gettysburg (multiple nice CG's to choose from) and then just do a day trip down to to the city. If you want to do mass transit in close, just park at the Shady Grove station and take the Metro on in from there.
If you plan to do this, and commute, check out Point Lookout State Park south of Annapolis. We drove in from there this summer and caught the METRO at Suitland. It was about 1:30 drive to the station, then about 20 minutes to the Mall.
Point Lookout is on the spit of land where the Potomac River runs into the Chesapeake Bay. It is on the site of a Confederate War POW Camp/Prison and has lots of history along with 6 different campground loops that offer an assortment of facilities. Some have no services, a few have water/electric, and some are FHU. Some are on the water, some are in the woods, etc.
