Camp Peary is a military reservation in York County near Williamsburg, Virginia. It is now home to the United States Department of Defense's Armed Forces Experimental Training Activity. Camp Peary has about 9,275 acres (38 km²) of land, of which about 8,000 acres are unimproved or only partially improved. The 100 acre (400,000 m²) Biglers Millpond occupies the site adjacent to the York River.

Post-war, new missions
Turned loose by the Navy in 1946, Camp Peary was a Virginia state forestry and game reserve for five years. Then, in 1951, the Navy returned to the property and announced it closed to the public. It has been that way ever since.

Camp Peary later became well-known as "The Farm", a training facility for the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), although this has never been formally acknowledged by the U.S. Government. An airport with a 5000 foot runway was added to the facility near the site of Bigler's Mill. In 1972, the Virginia Gazette newspaper of Williamsburg reported that CIA agents were trained as assassins on base. The CIA replied that was nonsense. "None of its people," the agency said, "had ever been trained or used as assassins."

The roads and many structures of Magruder and Bigler's Mill are apparently still there and many are occupied. "Porto Bello", the hunting lodge of Lord Dunmore, last royal governor of Virginia, still stands on the grounds of Camp Peary. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places
