autocamp

Drive-in tent site

An autocamp is a campground designed for motorists, with space for cars and tents or cabins.

The term dates from the early automobile era, when touring by car became popular and facilities sprang up along highways to accommodate travelers: We stopped at an autocamp outside Flagstaff.

The word has a nostalgic, early-twentieth-century feel.
