It’s clear that President Trump prefers the pink-hued glamour of his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida to the woodsy charms of Camp David, the secluded traditional presidential retreat in Maryland.

Before winning the presidential election, he told a reporter:

Camp David is very rustic, it’s nice, you’d like it. You know how long you’d like it? For about 30 minutes.

Mr. Trump has flown on Air Force One to the club in Palm Beach, Fla., for weekend retreats three times since entering the White House. He is expected to return again this weekend. But he has made zero trips to Camp David, a roughly 30-minute ride on Marine One from the White House.

At this point in their presidencies, Barack Obama had visited Camp David once, while George W. Bush had traveled there three times. During their two terms in office, Mr. Obama racked up 39 visits over 93 days, and Mr. Bush had 149 visits over 487 days.

When it comes to running the country or carving out time for a respite, there are perks and drawbacks to both Mar-a-Lago and Camp David. Here’s how they stack up.
