キャンプ場
解説 Definition
キャンプ場、野営地という意味です。日本語の「キャンプ場」とほぼ同じですが、テントやキャンピングカーで泊まるための区画や設備がある場所を指すことが多いです。
A place designed for people to stay outdoors in tents, campers, or recreational vehicles, often with marked sites and shared facilities such as toilets, showers, fire pits, or a small store.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
camp「野外で宿泊すること」と ground「土地・場所」をそのまま組み合わせた語です。テントを張る一区画なら campsite、区画やシャワー、売店などを備えた場所全体なら campground と区別すると実用的です。book a campground、stay at a campground など旅行の場面と結び付けましょう。
Break campground into camp and ground: it is literally ground set aside for camping. Picture the whole organized area beside a lake, including marked spaces, showers, toilets, and perhaps a store. A campsite is usually one individual place where a tent or vehicle is set up, while a campground contains many such sites and shared facilities. Useful combinations include book a campground, stay at a campground, and a family-friendly campground. Connecting the word with planning an outdoor trip makes both its meaning and its distinction from campsite easier to remember.

campground の語源・成り立ち Etymology
campground は camp＋ground の複合語です。camp はフランス語由来で、さらにラテン語 campus「野原・平地」へ、ground は古英語 grund「地面」へさかのぼり、campus や encamp と同根なので「野外で地面に営む場所」と見える語です。
Campground is a compound of camp and ground. Camp came into English through French and ultimately relates to Latin campus, meaning an open field or level area. Ground descends from Old English grund, referring to the earth, a surface, or the bottom of something. Together, the elements describe land used or prepared for camping, often divided into individual campsites.
