a word commonly used in the gaming scene to define a player that will hide in one position the length of the game. No skill is required to do this and is generally irritating to other players. The 'camper' however believes they are the best player in the game.

In the context of restaurants , campers are people who socialize at a table or group of tables as their objective, rather than ordering food. Campers will typically order coffee or other beverages and one or two of a party might order a real meal, however their stay will often be two or more hours. Typically 24-hour restaurants like Denny's will be the most common location to find campers, often a group of "regulars". Some waitstaff hate campers because they occupy a table for long periods of time, preventing other customers from being seated there - but other waitstaff recognize that a steady group of campers can represent a steady flow of business, and upon building rapport with the regulars can reap handsome gratuities, as well.
(waitress #1) "I have a bunch of campers at table 7 who have been there 3 hours"
(waiter #2) "Relax, just seat these old folk who just walked in at table 6 and the problem will take care of itself"

Derogatory term used for someone who can actually master the team aspect fo most games, but has no one else to use this aspect with. "Campers" generally are seen in FPS games, especially ones based on a team mindset. These campers normally defend an objective, or wait for a tactical advantage.

Used by very sad and lonely people in online computer games such as MOH. The term used for anyone who should dare to shoot anyone else who belongs to a 'clan'. Whatever you do... if you should happen to be walking upto a door and it opens from the other side.... DO NOT shoot the person coming through... you will be called a camper! No matter how 'lucky' you were, you are a camper! Under no circumstances attempt to plead your innocence, the 'clan' members will gang up on you and get you kicked! You can't win.
To avoid being a 'camper', run around like a headless chicken waiting to be shot by an experienced 'clan' gamer.... who will then call you a n00b!

(2) someone who goes camping on a regular basis for their holidays.

player, especially in a first person shooter, who plants himself behind doors, in shadowed corners, behind crates, etc. and waits for enemy players to rush by and be shot from behind. Campers are called so because they choose such a spot and will often, for the duration of the game, not move from there or will only move to find a new 'camping' spot. The word is usually used in a derogatory manner, but the strategy is in fact quite legitimate. Happens in real life doesn't it? Snipers are, by default, campers as they have to find that perfect spot where they remain undiscovered and can lay down hellfire upon their enemies from afar.

A term used when a player (in a multi-player game) kills a person when the killer is stationary, in a hidden area for many minutes to wait for a target to get in range for a kill.
Many "pros" use this technique to guard key objectives of the game and hide in areas so obvious they are not and get several kills to loosen the load on the people guarding the "ctf flags" and are wrongfully accused as a person to get easy kills.
Many "noobs" use this technique to get easy kills in areas with virtually no player transit and tends to slow down the game just because of the choice of location.
Many "noobs" accuse "pros" as campers because they cannot understand the fact they just got killed in such a simple way and try to find a reason to justify the "uncommon" act of a person killing them.
