Place for holidaymakers affected the audience's view (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

campsite

'place for holidaymakers' is the definition.
(location for a camping holiday)

'affected the audience's view' is the wordplay.
'affected' becomes 'camp' (camp can mean exaggerated or affected).
'the audience's' shows a homophone (sound like) (how it sounds to an audience).
'view' becomes 'sight' (synonyms).
'sight' is a homophone of 'site'.
'camp'+'site'='CAMPSITE'

(Other definitions for campsite that I've seen before include "Ground for tents" , "for temporary accommodation" , "Location for pitching tents" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
