tented camp

Temporary fabric lodging

A tented camp is a temporary accommodation site using large, often semi-permanent tents rather than buildings.

The term appears most often in safari tourism, where tented camps offer luxury lodging in remote wilderness areas: We stayed at a tented camp overlooking the Serengeti.

The phrase also describes military encampments and refugee settlements.
