CCC gave this land a second opportunity and through re-growth, a new role as a recreation area, intended to be a Maryland State Park.  However, during WWII, Camp #3 became a Presidential Retreat, so the land around remained in Federal Hands, and only the southern portion became a Maryland State Park.  We visited both the east and west sides (road through the park closed in the middle for repaving) and did a little hiking to an overlook and to see some historical sites&#8230;remnants of the charcoal and iron industry (which denuded the trees), an old moonshine still, and a sawmill site.  And, no, we did not see Camp David.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-autoplay=\"true\" data-delay=\"5\" data-effect=\"slide\"
