The Gypsy Camp Historic District encompasses a former summer camp facility in rural southwestern Benton County, Arkansas. It is located on the west side of Arkansas Highway 59, about 5 miles (8.0 km) south of Siloam Springs, on the north side of the Illinois River. The camp facilities were built in the 1920s for a girls summer camp, and are believed to be the only facilities built for that purpose in the state. The camp includes four cabins for campers, a dining/recreation hall, and three residential structures. All are finished with either pine slats or board-and-batten siding. There is a centrally-located rock arbor and wall that provide an outside seating area. The camp operated from 1921 to 1978.^[2]

The camp was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.^[1]

In 2018, the site was purchased and now operates as Gypsy Camp & Canoe.
