Camp John Hay

Camp John Hay is a major tourism and recreation attraction in Baguio City. It was a major hill station used for rest and recreation for personnel and dependents of the United States Armed Forces in the Philippines as well as United States Department of Defense employees and their dependents, last run by the United States Air Force.

Camp John Hay is much cooler and less humid than the rest of the Philippine Islands with its average elevation of 5,000 ft., thereby providing the milder climate more familiar to the typical American soldier. The facility housed The American Residence as well as Broadcasting facilities of the Voice of America, being an officially designated communications station.

The former American R&R facility at present serves as a tourist attraction. Among its current major attractions are the Par-69 world-class competition, Jack Niclaus-designed golf course, several restaurants and shops, The Manor and The Suites at Camp John Hay, as well as a shopping center and convention center.

Situated on the southeastern side of Baguio City, the Main Gate is presently located on Loakan Road, a 5-minute drive from its former location at the Upper Session Road-Loakan Road-South Drive rotunda. Camp John Hay has a second entrance accessible via the Baguio Country Club road, which is closer to other major tourist attraction.
