logging camp
Lumberjacks' forest base
A logging camp is a temporary settlement where workers live while harvesting timber from surrounding forests.
These camps historically provided bunkhouses, a cookhouse, and basic facilities in remote areas where daily commuting was impossible.
The men spent winters at the logging camp, returning home only in spring.
Modern operations may use mobile camps or commuter arrangements instead.
