campground
UK: ˈkæmpɡraʊnd | US: ˈkæmpˌɡraʊnd
n. an area of land where people can camp, often equipped with basic facilities like toilets and fire pits.
The word "campground" is a compound of "camp" (from Latin campus, meaning "field" or "open space," later evolving to mean a temporary shelter) and "ground" (from Old English grund, meaning "land" or "soil"). The term emerged in the 19th century, reflecting the practice of designated outdoor spaces for recreational camping. The combination logically denotes a piece of land reserved for setting up camps.
