Outpost with tents (4)
I believe the answer is:
camp
'outpost with tents' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for camp that I've seen before include "Coterie" , "Foppish" , "military depot" , "A tent, or effeminate in style" , "Where guys are tense" .)
