campers
Wilderness overnight guests
Campers are people who camp—staying overnight outdoors in tents, RVs, or similar temporary shelter, usually for recreation: The campers gathered around the fire.
A camper is also a vehicle equipped for camping, or a child attending summer camp.
In gaming slang, a camper is a player who stays in one strategic spot rather than moving around the map, often considered unsporting: That camper has been hiding in the same corner all game.
