As a noun, camp is a place where people stay in tents, cabins, or simple shelters, often for recreation, training, or temporary living. As a verb, it means to live or sleep outdoors in such a place.
From French 'camp' meaning 'field' or 'encampment,' from Latin 'campus' meaning 'field, open space.' It first referred to military encampments. Later, it expanded to cover holiday camps, summer camps, and other non-military uses.
