Rocky Gap State Park in Flintstone, MD has some nice hiking trails from mild to almost wild. I don't think they have full hook-ups, but they do offer 30 amp electric and they have a dump station. Rocky Gap is close to Green Ridge State Forest which also has lots of hiking trails as do other State Forests in Western MD. I wouldn't want to take anything other than a pop-up or small TT to Green Ridge, I've only tent camped at Green Ridge.
PA has some really nice state parks, a lot of them with great hiking trails. Hickory Run State Park is one of my favorites. I know they offer some electric and full hook-up sites.
Everyone's water usage differs. We are a family of 4 and fill up gray water pretty quick, usually after 3 days using our shower. The black tank usually fills up in a week. However, if we are somewhere without sewer hook-ups, usually they have bath houses/comfort stations with showers and bathrooms. If we use the campground's facilities for showers, we get a week out of the gray tank too.

How long does it usually take for an average couple to fill up a gray & black tank? I wouldn't want to be stuck with a full tank and not know where to empty it
