Just wondering is it ever okay to camp when your sniping, defending an objective or any other situation?
Is it ever okay to camp?

Camping's a legitimate strategy. It's just games like Call of Duty unbalance it and make it harder to kill them.
For example: Sniper in slot one, shotgun in slot two.

If you're defending an objective, it's not camping. It's 'defending the objective'.
I think that generally if you camp a spot you're just doing it wrong. Not because it makes you 'too good' at the game, that's a pretty piss weak excuse. "You're not moving or performing any sort of evasive maneouvres and that means you keep killing me!" Uh... what? Sorry, if some guy keeps picking you off because you keep coming round the same route, and despite the fact he's not moving you can't put a bullet in him, that's not him being good, that's you being awful.
The best 'snipers' move around all the time, to make sure they're always catching the enemy off guard.

Camping is a good way to get kills and to protect something. If I want to make sure my flag isn't stolen I'm gonna guard it, not camp it, guard it.
If I see an enemy is about to walk through a door that I'm near I'm gonna ambush him, not camp, ambush him. If I find a good spot for sniping, I will utilize it. I'm not cheating, I'm playing within the confines of the game.

I don't camp per-say...I just get really scared that I'm gonna die and hunker in random areas behind furnature or in corners
...and shoot everything that moves...
but camping is fine in my opinion...most of the time...ish...

That depends. Camping is perfectly valid if you are sniping, defending some kind of choke point, something like that. Spawn camping is just dickery.
Then there's my old bad habit of throwing prox mines in the vent above the toilet stall in Facility on Goldeneye...

It's a valid strategy, although I will admit there are areas that can make it imba.
It still is a valid strategy, though.

Yeah I dont camp though but It doesnt piss me off when people do as long as the entire team isnt doing it.
Yes, of course.
Just get a couple of friends, some food, a few tents depending on how many you are, matches, you know, everything you'd need on a camping trip.
Just remember to camp somewhere youre allowed to do so.
..We are talking about camping, arent we?
EDIT: by the way, my avatar's even a picture of camping.

I play recon on BC2 on multiplayer quite often. The best way to do that is to find a good hiding spot with a good view and stay put. Moving around makes it insultingly easy to get countersniped I've noticed.
Only when defending a certain area or object.
Any other reason isn't valid, though i find that pseudo camping can be OK for those(staying in a area for a short time[1 or 2 kills] then moving to a completely different area, racking up kills as you move).

Sometimes you have to hold ground because theres nowhere else to go.
But I dont like camping when an entire "Attacking team" in BFBC2 rush sits around camping with recon and does nothing but snipe and call mortar and not even doing it properly. Thus leading to the few that do attack are outnumbered and outgunned.
It really depends on the game tbh.

Camping is a legit strategy. I just get annoyed when I face and/or are playing with an entire team of campers. And that happens often. I do agree that some games make it so that camping is ALWAYS the best option, and those kind of games piss me off. As long as there is a way to kill the camper once you know his location that doesn't involve starting a sniper-war, I don't mind.
Sniping from one spot is okay. Sniping from one spot with two claymores in the doors, and someone checking each possible entry point is not okay.
