Camp David is a presidential retreat located in the Catoctin Mountain Park in Maryland, USA. Established in 1942, it serves as a private getaway for the President of the United States and their family, providing a peaceful environment away from the White House. The site is named after Dwight D. Eisenhower's grandson, David. Over the years, Camp David has hosted numerous important meetings, including the historic Camp David Accords in 1978, where President Jimmy Carter facilitated peace talks between Egypt and Israel.
