Camping describes a range of activities and approaches to outdoor accommodation. Survivalist campers set off with as little as possible to get by,whereas recreational vehicle travelers arrive equipped with their own electricity,heat,and patio furniture.
There is no universally held definition of what is and what is not camping. Just as with motels,which serve both recreational and business guests,the same campground may serve recreational campers,migrant workers,and homeless at the same time.

A children's summer camp with dining hall meals and bunkhouse accommodations may have "camp" in its name but fails to reflect the spirit and form of "camping" as it is broadly understood. Similarly, a homeless person's lifestyle may involve many common camping activities,such as sleeping out and preparing meals over a fire,but fails to reflect the elective nature and pursuit of spirit rejuvenation that are integral aspect of camping. Likewise,cultures with itinerant lifestyles or lack of permanent dwellings cannot be said to be "camping",it is just their way of life.
