   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-1928
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Texarkana   
   [PUBLISHED] [Erickson, Author, with Loken and Benton, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Federal Tort Claims Act. In this action involving the deaths 
   of 20 campers in the Albert Pike Recreation Area in the Arkansas portion 
   of the Ouchita National Forest, for purposes of applying the Arkansas 
   Recreational Use Statute, the campsite fee the Park Service charged was 
   not an admission fee, and charging the fee did not disqualify the Park 
   Service from claiming immunity under the statute; the activity of camping 
   within a 100-year floodplain was a common recreational activity and not an 
   uncommon one under the Statute; since this activity was a matter of common 
   usage, the statute's immunity would extend to a private land owner facing 
   this claim and the government could claim the immunity; as a result, there 
   is no jurisdiction under the FTCA for plaintiffs' claims against the U.S.
