The Damascus CCC Camp, Co. No. 3781 was a Civilian Conservation Corps encampment on Camp Hill Road in Damascus, Arkansas. Today, only three elements of the camp infrastructure survive: a large two-span stone arch that originally marked the camp entrance, a smaller arch that was used as a notice board, and a well. All were built in 1935 or 1936. At the center of the original camp property is a single-story brick ranch house, built in 1951 by the regionally noted stonemason Silas Owens, Sr.
The camp site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.
