Campsite as the place of occurrence of the external cause

This code indicates that an injury, poisoning, or other external cause of morbidity occurred specifically at a designated campsite. It specifies the physical location of the event, distinguishing it from other outdoor or recreational areas.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states that the incident leading to the patient's condition took place within the boundaries of a campsite. This includes injuries sustained during camping activities, such as falls, burns from campfires, or animal encounters at a campsite.

• Always use this as a secondary code to specify the location of an external cause.
• Ensure the medical record explicitly mentions "campsite" or similar terminology.
• Do not use for incidents occurring in general wilderness areas or parks unless specifically designated as a campsite.
