===== Historic =====

Camp Ouachita was used as a Girl Scout camp from 1937 until 1979 when the cost of providing potable water proved too much for the local council. It is now a [[National Register of Historic Places property types#Historic districts|National Historic District]] as the only surviving [[Works Progress Administration]] (WPA) constructed Girl Scout camp.<ref>{{cite encyclopedia | last = Crone | first = Camilla | title = Camp Ouachita National Historic District | encyclopedia = The Encyclopedia of Arkansas History and Culture | publisher = The Central Arkansas Library System | date = 2012-12-07 | url = http://www.encyclopediaofarkansas.net/encyclopedia/entry-detail.aspx?search=1&entryID=4204 | access-date = 2013-03-13 }}</ref>  It was built in the [[Ouachita National Forest]] for the Little Rock Area Girl Scout Council, which before had only occasional use of a local Boy Scout camp.
