Camping is an outdoor recreational activity involving overnight stays away from home in a shelter such as a tent, a caravan, or even a motorhome.

Generally participants leave developed areas to spend time outdoors in more natural ones in pursuit of activities providing them enjoyment.

To be regarded as "camping" a minimum of one night is spent outdoors, distinguishing it from day-tripping, picnicking, and other similarly short-term recreational activities.

Camping can be enjoyed through all four seasons.

A ranch is an area of land, including various structures, given primarily to the practice of ranching, the practice of raising grazing livestock such as cattle or sheep for meat or wool.

The word most often applies to livestock-raising operations in Mexico, the Western United States and Canada, though there are ranches in other areas.

People who own or operate a ranch are called ranchers, cattlemen, or stockgrowers.

Ranching is also a method used to raise less common livestock such as elk, American bison or even ostrich, emu, and alpaca.

A park is an area of natural, semi-natural, or planted space set aside for human enjoyment and recreation or for the protection of wildlife or natural habitats.

It may consist of grassy areas, rocks, soil, and trees, but may also contain buildings and other artifacts such as monuments, fountains or playground structures.

In North America, many parks have fields for playing sports such as soccer, baseball and football, and paved areas for games such as basketball.

Many parks have trails for walking, biking and other activities.

Some parks are built adjacent to bodies of water or watercourses and may comprise a beach or boat dock area.

Often, the smallest parks are in urban areas, where a park may take up only a city block or less.

Urban parks often have benches for sitting and may contain picnic tables and barbecue grills.

Parks have differing rules regarding whether dogs can be brought into the park: some parks prohibit dogs; some parks allow them with restrictions (e.g., use of a leash); and some parks, which may be called "dog parks", permit dogs to run off-leash.
