Compound nouns made from two different nouns can be found in three different forms: 
  1. Separate words without a hyphen (eg. car park)
  2. hyphenated words (eg. ice-skating)
  3. made of one word (eg. website)

The only way to be completely sure about what form a compound noun should be is to check in a dictionary.
