temporary camp set up near the worksite
Explanation:
These are camps set up near where the work is being done. Usually to save commuting for some long time from the nearest town through the forest to do the work. These are set up for some short time until the logging is finished. There would be sleeping quarters (maybe tents), cooking and washing facilities, some sort of rudimentary first aid station, and the like.
