A "Winter White House" is typically the name given to
the winter vacation residence of the standing
President of the United States aside from
Camp David,
the mountain-based military camp in
Frederick County,
Maryland,
used as a country retreat and for high-alert protection of the President and his
guests.
Although Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy had spent significant time in Florida
(Harry Truman having spent time there in the summer), Richard Nixon's
Florida White House was the first that reporters called the "Winter White
House".[10]

Camp David is the country retreat for the
President of the United States. It is located in the wooded hills of
Catoctin Mountain Park near
Thurmont, Maryland, also near
Emmitsburg, Maryland about 62 miles (100 km) north-northwest of
Washington, D.C.[1][2][3]
It is officially known as the Naval Support Facility Thurmont, because it
is technically a military installation, and staffing is primarily provided by
the
United States Navy and the
United States Marine Corps.
Originally known as Hi-Catoctin, Camp David was built as a camp for federal
government agents and their families by the
Works Progress Administration. Construction started in 1935 and was
completed in 1938.[4]
In 1942,
President Franklin D. Roosevelt converted it to a presidential retreat and
renamed it "Shangri-La" (for the
fictional
Himalayan paradise in the 1933 novel
Lost
Horizon by British author
James Hilton, which he had jokingly referenced as the source of the
Doolittle Raid earlier that year). Camp David received its present name from
Dwight D. Eisenhower, in honor of his father and
grandson, both named David.[5]
The Catoctin Mountain Park does not indicate the location of Camp David on park
maps due to privacy and security concerns, although it can be seen through the
use of publicly accessible satellite images.[3]
