a patch of dirt you pay for, defend from raccoons, and remember forever
means A specific spot, usually within a campground or wilderness area, where you pitch a tent or park for sleeping outdoors.
from A straightforward marriage of two old words. "Camp" comes from Latin "campus," meaning a flat open field — the same root that gave us military camps (armies drilled and slept on those fields) and, eventually, college campuses. "Site" descends from Latin "situs," a position or location. Stitch them together and you get the literal "field-place": a designated spot to set up your temporary home under the sky.
