58,954 seems about right for the size of the area. It looks like they just took a picture of a city and tried to camouflage it as the refugee camp.

I could be wrong but that's what it looks like to me.
The link was to the Al Zaatari Refugee Camp in the photo. I wrote Al Mafraq as it's the nearest proper location (it is about 6 miles west-northwest of where I linked to and an actual city)

If you zoom in you can see a lot of the structures in the camp have got a pitched roof which would be consistent with them being tents as most proper buildings in the Arab region have a flat roof.
