We camp host at Point Lookout, MD and LOVE it. It is about 50 miles south of Annapolis and is located on a spit of land that that juts into the Chesapeake Bay from where the Potomac runs into it.
It is beautiful, lots of trails, water frontage, fishing pier, crabbing opportunities and there is a great nature center. Water on both sides of the park. It has lots of history linked to it with the Lighthouse and the Civil War POW camp that was located here.

There are several local restaurants that are really good.
