bunking up
Sharing sleeping quarters
Bunking up means sharing sleeping quarters, typically in close or makeshift arrangements: We'll be bunking up in the cabin together.
The phrase suggests temporary accommodation where space is limited—summer camps, military barracks, road trips.
It can also mean climbing into a bunk bed: The kids are bunking up for the night.
