campsite

Outdoor sleeping spot

A campsite is a place where people set up tents or park campers for overnight stays outdoors.

It may be a designated spot within a larger campground, with amenities like fire rings and picnic tables, or simply a patch of ground in the wilderness: We found a campsite near the river.

Also called a campground when referring to the larger area.
