tent camps

Temporary fabric villages

Tent camps are temporary settlements where people live in tents rather than permanent structures.

The term often describes housing for refugees, disaster survivors, or homeless populations: Tent camps sprang up along the border.

It also applies to organized outdoor accommodations for campers, scouts, or military personnel.

The connotation shifts with context—recreational tent camps suggest adventure, while humanitarian tent camps suggest crisis.
