Camp John Hay, Former military camp in Baguio, Philippines

The 530-acre complex contains pine forests, walking trails, hotels, restaurants, and recreational facilities at 1,500 meters above sea level.

The United States military established this mountain station in 1903 under President Theodore Roosevelt's order to provide relief from lowland temperatures.

The Bell House museum displays American colonial architecture and artifacts from the period when US forces controlled the mountain retreat.

The Manor Hotel and Forest Lodge provide accommodation options while multiple restaurants operate from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM throughout the complex.

The Cemetery of Negativism features symbolic graves where visitors can metaphorically bury negative thoughts according to a 1980s military tradition.
