I've stayed at Catoctin (across the mountain from Camp David) and it was nice.� PA state parks are generally very good, but if you are traveling with pets be advised that not all parks that permit camping also permit pets.� If this is an issue I have more PA camping info at home and can provide a rundown.

A glance at the map shows Catoctin Mountain Park (a National Park Service park) about 40 miles S in Maryland, Michaux State Forest and Park about 40 miles NW in Pennsylvania, and several state parks in Pennsylvania within a radius of 60 miles, all with campgrounds.� David McNeely
