How do you plan to visit DC? How far outside of the city are you willing to stay? What type of campground do you want? What/where are the historical sites that you wish to see (in the city or surrounding the city)?
If you plan to take Metro into the city, Cherry Hill is the easiest and most convenient option. They have a free shuttle to the nearby Metro train station and allow you to be in the city in a short period of time. The park is nice and has amenities, but you are cramped in and pay a premium for the ease.
If you plan to drive or don't mind driving to a Metro station to get to the city, that opens up multiple other options for you. If you don't mind a longer drive, that opens up even more options.
