In the direction of a camp or toward where a camp is located.
Old English combination of 'camp' (temporary settlement) and '-ward' (direction suffix), used since Middle English to indicate directional movement.
English has these hidden direction words everywhere—backward, forward, homeward—and 'campward' shows how our ancestors treated temporary military settlements as reference points for navigation.
