Is wandering around the camp for something to eat (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scampi

'something to eat' is the definition.
(scampi is a kind of food)

'is wandering around the camp' is the wordplay.
'wandering' indicates an anagram.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'is' is an anagram of 'si'.
'si' enclosing 'camp' is 'SCAMPI'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for scampi that I've seen before include "Crumbed prawns" , "Fish dish, often in rings" , "Dish of deep-friend prawns" , "sort of seafood" , "Shellfish" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
