cabinmates

Fellow lodge occupants

Cabinmates are people who share a cabin, whether at summer camp, on a cruise ship, or in other accommodations with cabin-style housing.

The word implies a temporary, assigned living arrangement rather than chosen roommates: My cabinmates and I stayed up all night talking.

The relationship often carries nostalgic associations with camp friendships.
