A strategy in First person shooters where the player sits idly by hoping and unsuspecting enemy will maybe walk in front of them. As red vs Blue said it, camping is not a legitimate strategy. Many campers would defend camping as the most tactically sound and intelligent strategy, when in reality they just dont have the reflexes or hand eye coordination to play the game normally. Also known as a strategy for 5 year olds and pussies who are afraid to die in a video game so they sit in the corner
1:damn that guy camping in the corner just killed me
2: he killed me too hes been sitting there all game what a camping fag he probably uses the heartbeat sensor and commando too
1: my 50 year old mother could get that score camping like him and shes never played before

in bars-

to eat up space by sitting at the bar or tables and either not drink anything, or nurse the same drink for hours, thus not providing tips for the bartenders or servers
I did not make any money last night. I just had a bunch of losers camping at the bar.

1. To go out in the woods with nothing but your aunt and a tooth-pick, and spend the night there.

2. Staying in one position.

3. Used in online gaming to mean staying in one position to gain an advantage over other players.
1. "Gee aunty, that was fun camping, I picked you right out!"

2. "I camped on the shitter at the station today for over 40 minutes - the commuters got rather agitated"

3. n00b: "TERRORISTS, STOP CAMPING YOU N00BS!!!111eleven11!! onehunderedandeleven11!!!"

Camping is a cowardly and cheap tactic of playing a video game, generally first person shooter, where usually the camper preferes to hide , lay on the ground and play dead , get up a rooftop, peek his head out behind cover or anything else to avoid direct confrontation with the enemy.

The rumor of camping being a legit and smart tactic can be easily destroyed by two facts : one , if everyone played like that then the gameplay would become frozen, static, and two, there is nothing smart and tactical in hiding and waiting for people to come to you so you can get a easy kill.
Some also say that camping is necessary,as noone would run around in real life in a real war. Those people are usually mentally ill becoz they seem to associate a game with real life , so they are to be ignored.
There are two type of campers, the stupid camper and the smart camper,who present different types of camping.

The stupid camper usually picks a random spot ,without taking into consideration if he has good cover, if the area is of high traffic, if it's near an objective or anything else, and he just sits there without moving. Those are usually easy to be killed , as if u get killed by them once u already know where to find them becoz they're not smart enough to move.
The smart camper is a whole different story. These people were born to camp and they camp for dear life. They have tactics ,tricks and determination in what they do. A smart camper usually picks an important area where people pass trough often , picks a obscure hiding spot where he is hard or impossible to be spotted and wich also provides him with good cover, chooses a suitable close range powerful weapon,such as a shotgun and usually aims down sights at all times. He also claymores the area up and from time to time switches corners. Usually they can be killed by throwing a flash or stun grenade before going at them or just noobtubing them out.
