The .camp zone is a generic extension linked to the word camp, which describes a place where people stay outdoors, often in tents, cabins or shared buildings. A name in .camp suits campsites, summer camps, outdoor clubs and groups that organise trekking or scouting trips. Visitors who see the ending understand straight away that the site is about being outside and about shared experiences.

A short history
People have gathered in camps for as long as there have been journeys, hunts and expeditions. In modern use the word covers organised holidays for children and young people, family campsites and the summer programmes that schools and clubs run. The .camp extension belongs to the group of generic endings, so it is open to organisers in any country. Campsite owners, outdoor educators and youth groups have taken it up because it describes their activity in one word.
Who runs it
A registry operator runs the zone and publishes the rules on registration. Registrars take orders from customers and pass them to the registry, which keeps the central record of each name. The operator may update its terms, so the version you accept at the time of the order is the one that applies to your registration.
Rules in practice
- Registration: generic zones are usually open, subject to the operator's conditions on acceptable use of websites.
- Owner details: the registrant should be the organisation that runs the camp or campsite, under the name shown in its official papers.
- Characters: names use letters, digits and hyphens, with a label of up to 63 characters.
- Bookings: if guests book places through the domain, keep the registration active well before the season starts.
Who uses .camp
- Campsites and holiday parks that take bookings for pitches, cabins and glamping units.
- Summer camps for young people that publish programmes, dates and staff profiles.
- Scout groups, outdoor clubs and walking associations that organise trips.
- Guides and trekking firms that run multi-day routes and wilderness skills courses.
Strengths
- The word describes the activity at once, so families and young people understand the offer quickly.
- It is short and easy to say aloud, which helps when a parent hears the name from a friend.
- It works well on signs, gate posts and the side of a minibus.
Things to keep in mind
- Children's camps are subject to local requirements for safety and supervision, so check those rules before you publish the programme.
- Campsites must follow local planning and safety rules, and a domain name does not replace the permits you need.
- Booking and cancellation terms should be visible before a guest commits, so place them on a dedicated page.
- Many camping names are already in use, so a place name or a local word often makes the address easier to find.
Tips before you register
- Check the name in .com and on the camping directories and social groups where your guests look for trips.
- Register the exact name of the operating company, as it appears on your permits and insurance.
- Publish a safety page, an emergency contact number and a clear list of what each stay includes.
- Set up mail authentication records before you send booking emails or newsletters.
- Set the renewal date for the quiet season, so the address does not lapse just before bookings open.
Frequently asked questions
Can a family campsite use .camp? Yes. Any campsite or holiday park can use the ending, as long as the site describes the real service and follows local rules.
Is .camp only for children's summer camps? No. Campsites, trekking companies, walking clubs and outdoor education providers can use it too.
Does a .camp domain help a campsite rank in search? It shows the topic clearly, but accurate pitch descriptions, honest reviews and a fast booking page are more useful to guests.
