A camp is a cabin, tent or other form of temporary accommodation and the area surrounding such temporary accommodation. It can also refer to the period of time when the temporary accommodation is used.
Camps are most often used by training soldiers, Scouts, young people, travellers and gypsies. Camping often involves a variety of outdoor activities and teaches useful life and survival skills.
There is nothing quite like spending an evening away from home in either public or private campsites. In America's public lands there are plenty of places to camp in parks, national seashores, lakeshores, forests, and wilderness areas. Campsite fees, visitation fees and seasonal restrictions vary from site to site. In some cases, campsites can be reserved in advance. For detailed information on a particular location, contact that recreation site directly for full information.
Forms of camping include camping in developed sites, resorts, cabins; primitive camping, backpacking, overnight camping, modern camping; and camping in yurts, teepees, tipis and tents.
