Presidential Retreat
adapted from The National Parks Service
Catoctin Mountain Park was originally land purchased by the government in 1936, to be developed into a recreational facility. The facility was to
demonstrate how rough terrain and eroded soil could be turned into productive land again. Camp Misty Mount was first used by the Maryland
League for Crippled Children. After the first year, the League moved to a second camp in 1938, Camp Greentop, because Camp Misty Mount's
terrain was difficult to negotiate in a wheelchair. A third camp, Camp Hi-Catoctin, was completed in the winter of 1938-1939 and was used for
three years as a family camp for federal employees.
In 1952. Truman approved a compromise under which the land north of Maryland Route 77 would remain Catoctin Mountain Park operated
by the National Park Service and the land south of Maryland Route 77 would become Cunningham Falls State Park. The official transfer took
effect in 1954. President Eisenhower renamed the retreat, after he took office in 1953, "Camp David," after his grandson
Camp David continues to serve as the presidential retreat today. It is a private, secluded place for recreation, contemplation, rest, and
relaxation. Many historical events have occurred at the presidential retreat the planning of the Normandy invasion, Elsenhower-Khrushchev
meetings, Camp David Accords with Menachem Begin of Israel and Anwar Sadat of Egypt, discussions of the Bay of Pigs, Vietnam War
discussions, and many other meetings with foreign dignitaries and guests. Maintaining the privacy and secluded atmosphere of the retreat is an
important role for Catoctin Mountain Park. The presidential retreat still remains within park boundaries, but is not open to the public it is a
place where presidents can relax, unwind, contemplate, entertain distinguished guests in an informal setting, and cope with the pressures of
modern-day society
