Camp David, Presidential military base in Frederick County, Maryland, United States.
The 125-acre retreat sits in Catoctin Mountain Park at 564 meters elevation, surrounded by security fencing and dense forest.
Franklin D. Roosevelt established the facility in 1942 as Shangri-La before Dwight Eisenhower renamed it Camp David in 1953 after his grandson.
The National Park Service rustic architecture of Camp David integrates with the natural elements of Maryland's Catoctin Mountain landscape.
The retreat includes presidential quarters, meeting facilities, and a swimming pool, located 103 kilometers northwest of Washington, D.C.
World leaders have negotiated crucial agreements at Camp David, including the 1978 peace treaty between Egypt and Israel.
