What is considered "Camping?"
I am pretty curious about this. We all know what face camping is, its annoying and dumb but whatever, but im talking about actual camping. For Example, say i got a person on the hook right? And i see two people hiding within line of sight, if i go to chase them off, hit them and go back to the hooked guy because the second person is trying to unhook. Is that considered "camping?"

I, personally, consider camping when a killer remains around one area for a prolonged period of time, despite a lack of survivor activity. They could be camping their totem, a gen, or a hooked survivor, doesn't matter. If nothings happened and they refuse to leave the area, I call that camping.

In my experience, anything that prevents survivors from unhooking is "camping". Doesn't matter if you're chasing someone running to the hook and someone else is unhooking or if you set a trap that gets triggered remotely, or even if you're on the opposite end of the map (but with a clear line of sight to the hook while playing the Hillbilly or other killers that can get there ASAP).
Just ignore it. I've seen killers being called "campers" because they defended a hook that survivors were very obviously approaching.

I'd say camping is when a killer is inside of the range of Kindred. Outside of it wouldn't be camping, but rather proxying.

I would consider camping to be the practice of standing at a hook - in defiance of other, more important objectives - for no other reason than to secure a kill when it's not the best play.
(Sometimes it IS the best play, but not all that often.)
I'm not a fan of it and I generally won't do it. But if I walk five feet away and the person is already unhooked, you can be fairly sure that I'm gonna be back at that hook with some haste. 😁

If on your way from the hooked survivor, you see a survivor and go after them -- that's not camping. Chasing someone away isn't camping. It's doing your job.
Camping is when you stay in the area of a hooked survivor, without any signs of survivors, and wait for someone to come for the rescue (or not, as the case may be) Often refusing to leave that radius, even to chase survivors who you've injured.

Existing on the map after hooking a survivor.

there is no clear definition of the term.
thats why survivors love to throw it around so much - if you dont immediately leave the hooked area, you are "camping" them (which is absurd).
here is my definition of it:
"camping" refers to the killer staying within a close proxiimity (<16m) to the hooked survivor without having the knowledge of someone else being around or interacting with objects for longer periodes of time.
if the killer does the same while being further away from the hook, that is referred to as "proxy camping" (16 - 32m). with this he doesnt assure the survivor staying on the hook and wont suffer the emblem camping penality, however he can come to the hook very quickly when someone goes for the rescue and then proceed to tunnel down the unhooked.
another variation would be when the killer stands very close to the hook and keeps eyecontact with the hooked survivor. this is referred to as "facecamping". in some extreme cases the killers will facecamp the survivor so much that they actually block the unhook option for other survivors.
anything else would fall under eigther "hook defense" or just normal gameplay.

Choosing to stay by a hooked survivor instead of going out and patrolling even when you know no survivors are nearby.

When you're too scared to leave your comfort zone in a chance to find other survivors on gens.

You know, i think i get it now.

Staying within a close range of a hook while there is no considerable threat of that hooked survivor being unhooked at this moment.
This does not apply if it's endgame.

Thats what You and I consider camping, meanwhile half the population thinks you must leave the hook immediately even if you see 2 saviors coming from each angle, despite seeing them you MUST leave or you are a camper

@Entity_Hugs I love you.

playing the hag and teleporting to the hook cause they popped the trap

Staying close to the hook in order to protect it from unhooks or using it as bait to start a new chase.
Camping itself is a neutral term. There are situations where camping is obviously 100% justified and the smartest choice you can make. Or it can be because you are new and scared to take the chance of not finding another survivor. Or you could just be straight up trolling. Camping is not automatically a bad or malicious thing.

There was a time that killers used these terms to describe noob killer tactics.
It used to be a badge of honor to be a high rank killer while playing by the supposed rulebook.
I know times have changed, the game has changed a bit, but many old school killers still attempt to play as fair as possible and do just fine without relying on those tactics.

When survivors is not having fun or losing game.

There is no camping, only protecting the meat on the hook from those greedy Survivors who wants to steal the tasty meat ;)
