Camp High Point

Camp High Point is perched high in the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains on 163 acres near Mena in West Central Arkansas. Mena was founded in 1896 as a railroad town at the eastern foot of Arkansas's second highest peak, Rich Mountain. Rich Mountain is part of the Ouachita Mountain range, the highest between the Appalachians and the Rockies and offers the splendor of the 54 mile Talimena Scenic Drive, a national scenic byway. Mena, located in Polk County, is 56 south of Fort Smith. Camp High Point is a great property, complete with tree houses and a butterfly garden, a storm shelter, which doubles as a large indoor activity space, dining hall, and five living units for campers. Cabins built of stone and wood make up the living units. Each unit has a counselor cabin nestled among the camper cabins along with a pavilion and a bathhouse with showers and flush toilets. A more primitive unit, "Indian Bend," does not have a bathhouse or pavilion.
