The Naval Support Facility Thurmont, popularly known as Camp David, is the rustic 125 acre (0.5 km²) mountain retreat of the President of the United States. Camp David is part of the Catoctin Mountain Park recreational area in Frederick County, Maryland, 60 miles (97 km) north of Washington, D.C., about 20 miles (32 km) southwest of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and about 15 miles (24 km) east of Hagerstown, Maryland.

First known as Hi-Catoctin, Camp David was originally built as a camp for federal government employees and their families,by the WPA, starting in 1935, opening in 1938. In 1942 it was converted to a presidential retreat by President Franklin D. Roosevelt and renamed Shangri-La. Camp David received its present name from Dwight Eisenhower, in honor of his grandson, David Eisenhower.[1]
