logging camps
Lumberjack work sites
Logging camps are temporary settlements where workers live while harvesting timber in remote forests.
Historically, these camps housed lumberjacks for months at a time, with bunkhouses, cookhouses, and equipment sheds: The logging camp shut down when the snow came.
The term evokes a rugged, isolated way of life largely displaced by modern commuting and machinery.
