The last time the property was opened up to heads of state was in 2015, when Barack Obama convened Gulf Cooperation Council nations. A gathering of Group of Seven leaders at Camp David during Trump's final year in office was canceled amid the pandemic.

The cabins at Camp David famously housed secret negotiations in 1978 between Egyptian President Anwar al-Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin during Jimmy Carter's presidency, producing a landmark peace agreement framework known as the Camp David Accords. Clinton also held talks there in 2000 with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian Authority chairman Yasser Arafat that failed to yield the same result.
