tentmates
Canvas dwelling companions
Tentmates are people who share a tent, typically while camping, on a military deployment, or at summer camp.
The word implies a temporary arrangement and often suggests camaraderie born of close quarters: My tentmate snored all night.
Like roommates or bunkmates, tentmates share sleeping space but the relationship is usually brief.
