If you like Civil War history also try Antietam Battlefield (Sharpsburg MD) and Harpers Ferry, in the same general area. The Appalachian Trail goes through Harpers Ferry and the C&O canal towpath is right across the river in MD and makes a great (level) bike ride. And, if you do want to spend a day in DC without having to drive in and mess with the traffic, you can take the MARC commuter train either from Frederick MD or Harper's Ferry WV.

My wife and I are headed to a family reunion in the southern Colorado Rockies in July. I haven't seen two of my three brothers and families in 10 years (we visited by other brother on our previous Colorado trip) and we'll have three generations (at least) there. This will be our second trip to Colorado with our 179.

Algonquin vs Arrowhead? hmm... I've been to both and, although Arrowhead is a lot smaller, I like it better.  It's not far from the main highway (Hwy 11) and it is near Huntsville which is a great town.  Algonquin is very popular, the park is huge but the campsites are quite open and (like all provincial parks) very busy.  
The nice part of staying in Arrowhead, you can easily take a day trip into Algonquin (45 minutes away) and your Arrowhead pass lets you into all other provincial parks so there's no extra cost.
There are lots of other options as you make your way through... you may want to take Hwy 69 route and check out Killbear, Killarney or Grundy along that route.  Absolutely beautiful parks as well! 

Wow! Now you have me looking deeper into that area. It's just loaded with Provincials' or Conservation Land. 

What's the deal with the conservation land? Is it Queensland? Can you camp on it? 

Well worth checking out... Ontario's provincial parks all follow the same mode; electrical sites, no running water, good comfort stations and a main dumping station.  They are well used, but there are usually some non-reservable sites.  The further north you go, the easier it is to get a site!

As far as conservation areas, those are simply local municipalities "park land".  They are similar to provincial parks but typically not as well funded.   They are usually a result of water conservation measures (dams, reservoirs, rivers, etc).  Most have seasonal camping where people are using their trailer as a "summer cottage" and you might get a few sites that are travel sites... 

Hope that helps
