Campgrounds Near DC Metro
I would like to spend a couple of days visiting Washington, D.C. on our way home from Florida. What is a good campground near a Metro station?

The three that I'm aware of are these:
Cherry Hill--full-service RV park, gets very good reviews. I think the Greenbelt station is the closest, and I understand there's bus or shuttle service to the campground.
Greenbelt National Park--I stayed here for a week when being a Washington, DC tourist and it worked out very well. There are no hookups, but there are shade trees and shower houses and fire rings and picnic tables and very affordable rates.
Lake Fairfax Park (Fairfax County)--has hookups available, not too far from the Wiehle-Reston East station, and intermediate in price between Greenbelt and Cherry Hill.
All three are perhaps a 45 minute walk from the respective Metro station, depending of course on how fast you walk and which camp site you get and so forth (i.e. somewhere in the general vicinity of a couple miles).
