camp

Tents in wilderness

The most frequent meaning of camp is a place of temporary and somewhat primitive accommodation, such as that created by a traveling army, a group of mountain climbers, or a band of refugees.

When you stay at such a place voluntarily, you camp.

Sometimes, a group of people sharing values or ideas are called a camp: She’s in the pro-globalization camp.

The unrelated word camp is an abstract concept for a kind of humor that satirizes by extreme exaggeration.
