campmates
Fellow summer campers
Campmates are the people you share a camp with—whether at summer camp, a campsite, or any temporary outdoor living situation.
The word emphasizes companionship through shared experience: My campmates and I stayed up telling ghost stories.
In British reality television, particularly shows like *I'm a Celebrity*, campmates are contestants living together in jungle conditions.
