Camp David: Presidential Retreat

Camp David is the country retreat of the President of the United States. It is located in Catoctin Mountain Park in Frederick County, Maryland. It is officially known as Naval Support Facility Thurmont and because it is technically a military installation, staffing is primarily provided by the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Marine Corps. The retreat, which comprises a scenic mountainous area of 200 acres, is surrounded by maximum-security fencing and is closed to the public.
