campout
Night under stars
A campout is a recreational outdoor overnight stay, typically in tents.
The word emphasizes the social or group aspect—scout troops hold campouts, families plan backyard campouts with the kids.
We're doing a campout this weekend at the state park.
The verb phrase is camp out: They camped out under the stars.
