In the context of real life someone who spends periods of time in an area, therefore you may even consider your home a campsite.
In the context of video games, mainly first person shooters camping varies, for example in a game like Battlefield 3 or Team fortress 2, taking cover to guard an objective or flag or other such position may sometimes be necessary, however in a game like Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 it is considered- with good reason, an illegitimate tactic, mainly because if it's an objective game mode. The camper may leave the objective for the purpose of only gaining kills for himself, or it may occur when they wish to maintain a K/D. With the killspeed of guns in call of duty it only makes sense to frown upon this, since the maps are so tiny in call of duty there is no sniping either.

A derogatory term used primarily in online shooters. Usually a person of little skill and pride, An epidemic in the online community, the scourge of online play, a disease or parasite that feeds on normal skilled players run and gun play style. A person that calls hiding in a corner strategy. A person that thinks the television is magically going to suck them into the game and give them a reason to fear for their life. A camper is a player or players who find a suitable location, then proceed to set up a tent and start a nice fire, from there they laugh and tell jokes while roasting marshmallows. From their location they usually have an amazing view of the map or level. They can easily pick people off and stroke their partners penis between kills.
Cod Player- You camping little bitch!
Camper- Its called strategy, and it makes me feel like a big man!
Cod Player- Thats what I told your mom last night you pussy ass camping faggot!

The scumbags of the fps genre in gaming. Although camping is an legitimate strategy for some modes of the game there are some pricks out there that camp 24/7 regardless of the game mode. Whether it'd be Team Deathmatch or Capture The Flag these retards will just sit there all day hiding and camping a little room with claymores rifles and everything else they can think of. It's douchebags like these fucks that give camping a bad vibe for everyone else when the game mode does call for strategic camping. Especially frustrating for Modern Warfare 2 where the fuckers plant claymores in every entrance for a room during Team Deathmatch.
That guy is such a camper, dickhead camps in Domination CTF and Team Deathmatch.
Omg that noob didn't move for the whole game or even tried to capture the flag what a fucking camper.
Dude that dickhead camper just hid in the room during the whole Team Deatchmatch.

Literally speaking, a camper is someone in online games who sits about waiting for somebody to come to them.
I think a more precise definition is somebody who does not have knowledge of an opponents whereabouts/proximity, yet still stays in one place.
It would be accurate to say that the majority of campers have little to no skill, usually they resort to this tactic when they have had enough of being killed playing games 'properly'.
Camping is not considered in the 'spirit' of online first-person-shooters.
People who move around killing could easily do the 'role' of a camper, unfortunately it would be very rare for this to work the other way round.
Campers generally have a high Kill to Death ratio, but will mostly end with less kills and it will be very rare for them to win a match against anything but poor players.
Camping is only partly excusable when player is a sniper or in tactical games, especially ones without re-spawning.

"Why is that guy camping so much - doesn't he get bored?!"
"I'm sure he tried it our way, but failed miserably and has resorted to what you see now."
"But there's a whole game going on out here that campers never see!"
"I know, people should realise you need to lose to get good, not pussy out and camp."
