camping site

Pitched tent location

A camping site is a designated area where people set up tents, park campers, or otherwise stay outdoors overnight.

The term is interchangeable with campsite, though camping site emphasizes the activity rather than the location itself: We found a camping site near the river.

Camping sites range from primitive clearings to developed grounds with amenities like fire pits, picnic tables, and electrical hookups.
