day-use

Day-use describes facilities, areas, or fees intended for visitors who come and go within a single day rather than staying overnight.

Parks, beaches, and recreational areas often distinguish between day-use areas and campgrounds, with day-use typically offering picnic tables, restrooms, and parking but no overnight accommodations.

The day-use fee at the state park is ten dollars per vehicle.

We found a nice spot in the day-use area for our picnic.
