An area of land set aside for camping with facilities like tent spots, fire pits, and sometimes cabins.
Compound word: 'camp' (from Latin 'campus,' field) + 'ground.' The modern campground concept grew in the 1900s with increased outdoor recreation.
The first organized campgrounds were created for car camping in the 1920s-30s as Americans discovered road trips and nature—before that, camping was just sleeping rough wherever you found yourself.
