It has been many years since I last went tent-camping, but my experience of
campgrounds in the US national park system was numbered poles marking each
campsite, a grassy area for pitching a tent, and a charcoal grill mounted on a
steel pole. You weren't allowed to cut brush or to have a fire on the ground,
only one in the charcoal grill, as a precaution against wildfires. There was a
wooden outhouse (pit toilet) shared by multiple campsites.
