A man camp is several acres of trailers where gas drilling “roughnecks” live while they destroy the area environment.
The plans, as they were presented to the Athens Township Supervisors in July, showed a 15-acre complex consisting of four dormitory-style buildings. The planned facility includes a kitchen, dining hall, office, lounge area, recreation facility, and laundry unit. Plans include a 130-space parking lot, and a fence surrounding the facility manned by 24-hour security.

I didn't know parking lots came
with sewage facilities.
what happened to all those jobs drilling would create for local people? seems like that was a crock. locals don't need a man camp because they have a place to live.
