Plural of campsite; specific locations or areas where people set up camps for temporary shelter or recreation.
From camp (from Italian campo, 'field') plus site (from Latin situs, 'position'). This modern compound became common in the 20th century with organized camping and national parks.
Campsites are one of the few words that literally map themselves onto the landscape—each campsite is a specific GPS point that a campfire has turned into a place with meaning and memory for people.
