A campsite (also known as a camping pitch in British English) is a place used for overnight stay in the outdoors. The term campsite generally means an area where an individual, family, group, or military unit might camp. There are two types of campsites:

• an impromptu area (as one might decide to stop while backpacking or hiking)
• a dedicated area with improvements and various facilities (see below).

A campground is a group of dedicated campsites with common amenities.
