camp vs campsite

0According to a dictionary, camp and campsite are a place where tents can be set up. I feel there's some difference. I'll give a couple of sentences and you can tell me which one works better and maybe why. Thanks in advance.02br

00(In Maine, people refer to their vacation house as a camp. It usually refers to a building. Sometimes it is very primitive without indoor plumbing and sometimes it's almost palatial and I would be happy to have it as a full-time home, but if it's a vacation house, it's a "camp.")0-
