tent camp

Temporary outdoor lodging

A tent camp is a temporary settlement where people live in tents rather than permanent structures.

The term applies to recreational camping grounds, military encampments, and housing for refugees or disaster victims: The organization set up a tent camp for families displaced by the flooding.

Unlike a campsite, which might have a single tent, a tent camp implies multiple tents and some degree of organization.
