Ouachita National Forest Overnight Camping Act
This bill directs the Secretary of Agriculture to restore overnight camping in the Albert Pike Recreation Area within Arkansas's Ouachita National Forest. Within 6 months, the Secretary must identify suitable areas, then establish at least 54 campsites (including 8 with electric/water hookups) by 2 years, all located outside flood zones. Existing non-flood-zone campsites must reopen within 30 days of the bill's enactment. The bill directly affects visitors to this Arkansas recreation area and the U.S. Forest Service as the implementing agency.
