WHAT DOES HOLIDAY CAMP MEAN IN ENGLISH?

holiday camp

Holiday camp

A Holiday camp is a type of holiday accommodation that encourages holidaymakers to stay within the site boundary and provides entertainment for them between meals. Today the term has fallen out of favour with terms such as Resort or Holiday village replacing it. As distinct from camping, accommodation typically consisted of chalets – accommodation buildings arranged either individually or in blocks. From the 1960s onward, many camps also added static caravan accommodation and today large numbers of static caravans are also termed holiday camps.
