Basic training area (4,4)

I believe the answer is:

boot camp

(Other definitions for boot camp that I've seen before include "correctional facility" , "Site for harsh training" , "US training centre for military recruits" , "where terrier potentially goes" , "Centre for juvenile offenders" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
