A triangle representing a tent, marking a camping site on a map.
Also known as: Tent symbol, Camping symbol, Camp site sign
The campsite symbol is a triangle standing for a tent, used on maps and on road signs to mark a place where camping is provided. It says nothing about season, facilities, booking or whether the site is currently open, and it is frequently paired with a caravan outline where both are catered for. On British maps the symbol marks a site with some form of provision rather than any patch of ground where camping happens to be tolerated.
