Exceeded Expectations
Camp David lived up to its implied name. You could summarize our stay as presidential. The host has thought of everything that you may need, and even the things that you didn't think about. We had a group of 25 adults and everyone in our group equally loved this place. From location to accommodations it was 5 star. The sunset view off the back patio/porch cannot even be scored as it was indescribably beautiful. Many in our group all have kids (not on this trip), but all commented that it would be a great spot for their families as well. Myself and our entire group fully recommend this property.

Wonderful Thanksgiving Stay
My family and I had a wonderful time at Camp David Retreat for Thanksgiving. It was 10 of us with 4 kids and 6 adults. We comfortably all fit and enjoyed all the on campus amenities. David and Wendy were incredibly responsive with our needs as we were preparing Thanksgiving feast away from home and we found the house well equipped. The kids loved the old school Nintendo games and pickleball courts. We highly recommend!

Gorgeous property with lots to do.
Loved our stay at Camp David. The main house and bunk house were both immaculate. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, volleyball, basketball, baggo, pickle ball, and the fire pit. This property is very well equipped with everything you need. The deck was very large with a fantastic view. A great property.
