Definition: Although campers vary in kind from one game to another, the characteristic they have in common is that they loiter excessively at a particular location on a map, often an enemy respawn or item drop point, in order to gain an (almost always unfair) advantage over other players. Some games encourage camping more than others, and it's quite feasible that the most negative aspects of camping could be eliminated with more thoughtful game design.
