Crystal Campground
The Crystal Campground is located on Forest Road 177 in Ouachita National Forest, northeast of Norman, Arkansas. The campground has nine campsites and a picnic shelter, and provides access to outdoor recreational activities including hiking, swimming, and fishing. The swimming area is made possible by the Crystal Springs Dam, a 30-foot (9.1 m) fieldstone dam built in 1935 by the Civilian Conservation Corps, that impounds Montgomery Creek to provide a swimming hole.[2] The campground's main picnic shelter was also built by the CCC at that time.[3] Both the dam and the shelter were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[1] The picnic shelter was knocked over by a falling tree.
