campmate
Fellow wilderness dweller
A campmate is someone sharing a camp or camping experience with you—whether at a summer camp, a campsite, or in a reality TV show where contestants live together outdoors.
The word emphasizes companionship in a temporary, often rustic living situation: My campmate and I stayed up talking by the fire.
It parallels formations like roommate and classmate.
