Not quite. The response above I thought answered this pretty well:

"The requirement to be "nearby" or "maintain a "presence" is only invoked once you have someone else at the camp contending for it."

The problem as stated is that "nearby" isn't clearly defined. But in practice, anecdotally at least, as soon as someone moves into an area that's generally regarded as a separate camp (except for the times when there is not currently a group camping it) then they can claim ownership. Until such time, the mob is free to engage (FTE). The game has been around so long now that there really isn't much question as to which areas are considered separate camps and which aren't. But if no one is around you're free to engage 4-5 camps on your own. However, as you can't simultaneously maintain a "presence" at each of the 4-5 camps in order to lay claim to it, if a group moves in then you have to concede the camp.

Hopefully you'll have a camp that's been a 'home base' of sorts that you can lay claim as your own by spending your time at that camp. If not, you run the risk of groups moving in and potentially laying claim to ALL your camps if you're not in the area actively camping them.
You are sort of confusing two different things a little bit. What is considered "a camp" and what is considered "nearby". They aren't the same thing.
