camping areas

Outdoor sleeping spots

Camping areas are designated spaces where people can set up tents, park recreational vehicles, or otherwise stay overnight outdoors.

The term appears on signs and in park literature to indicate where camping is permitted: Camping areas are located near the lake.

Campgrounds and campsites are near-synonyms, though camping areas often suggests a broader or less developed zone.
