In [[PvP]], [[camping]] is used differently in different scenarios.

Camping a body means to stand around a [[corpse]], mostly likely waiting for a [[resurrection]] skill to be used on it. This is a worthwhile strategy if you killed a [[body block]]ed [[target]] and wish to keep it body blocked once it resurrects, leaving you able to [[pressure]] it and kill it again. This can also be applied to a [[Mesmer]] who camps a [[healer]] body hoping to cast [[Blackout]] once it resurrects giving your [[team]] more time to kill the other healer.

Camping the [[resurrection shrine]] refers to waiting at the resurrection shrine for a number of opponents to [[base resurrection|base resurrect]] to quickly kill them when they may be separated from the rest of their team. This can also be effected by body blocking the resurrection shrine, waiting for invulnerability to wear off, then using [[area of effect]] skills to score multiple kills at once.

Camping a target usually means targeting a [[foe]] to accomplish a task. An example would be an [[interrupt]] Mesmer camping an enemy [[Elementalist]], waiting for it to cast [[Blinding Surge]] so he can interrupt it.

Camping a [[weapon set]] refers to not taking advantage of [[weapon swap]]ping to increase effectiveness and reduce damage depending on the situation, such as camping a [[vampiric]] weapon when [[blind]]ed or not [[attack]]ing or camping a [[shield set]] instead of swapping to make use of [[40/40]] sets when not under pressure. This is usually considered to be a sign of poor or inefficient play.

A '''camper''' is a player who camps exits, entrances, shrines or such similar places to deter, stop, or eliminate foes with a specific target in mind. An example of camping would be in [[Alliance Battle]], a player/team watching over a [[teleport]] exit preventing or deterring the access of Kurzick/Luxon players to other shrines.
