Camp David has often been used for formal and informal discussion between the United States and world leaders. Probably most famous is the summit that led to the peace agreement between President of Egypt Anwar Sadat and Prime Minister of Israel Menachem Begin that was forged at Camp David in 1978 with U.S. President Jimmy Carter, known as the Camp David Accords (1978), now also called "Camp David I."

In 2000 there were also talks that led to the Road map for peace, a plan for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, at the summit meeting between U.S. President Bill Clinton, PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat and Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak known as the Camp David 2000 Summit or "Camp David II."
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, Eisenhower-Khrushchev meetings, discussions of the Bay of Pigs Invasion, 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, or entertain distinguished guests in an informal setting. Furthermore, Camp David has, on numerous accounts, served as a place of safety and security for the President
