Gypsy Camp Historic District, Summer camp historic district in Benton County, US.

Gypsy Camp Historic District is a former girls' summer camp on the west side of Arkansas Highway 59, about 5 miles south of Siloam Springs, on the north bank of the Illinois River. It holds four camper cabins, a dining and recreation hall, and three residential structures, all finished in pine slats or board-and-batten siding. A rock arbor and wall in the centre form an outdoor seating area.

The camp opened in 1921 as Arkansas's first dedicated summer facility for girls and operated continuously until 1978. Its long run demonstrated its importance as a pioneering venue for girls' summer recreation in the region.

The camp's name comes from the girls who attended it, called Gypsies, and the site kept that name after it became Gypsy Camp & Canoe in 2018. Visitors today see the same four camper cabins, dining and recreation hall, and three residential buildings finished in pine slats or board-and-batten siding. A central rock arbor and wall form an outdoor seating area between the buildings.

The site sits on the west side of Arkansas Highway 59, about 5 miles (8 km) south of Siloam Springs, on the north side of the Illinois River. Since 2018 it has operated as Gypsy Camp & Canoe, with canoeing on the river; the historic buildings stand together with the central rock arbor and wall.

The camp's buildings are finished in pine slats or board-and-batten siding, and a rock arbor with a wall forms a central outdoor seating area. The site is on the north bank of the Illinois River, west of Arkansas Highway 59, about 5 miles south of Siloam Springs. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
