Purpose of camping location? (6)

I believe the answer is:

intent

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'purpose of camping location?' is the definition.
'intent' can be an answer for 'purpose' ('intent' can be a synonym of 'purpose'). I am not certain of the 'of camping location?' bit.

'purpose of camping' is the wordplay.
'purpose of' becomes 'in' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'camping' becomes 'tent' (I've seen this in other clues).
'in'+'tent'='INTENT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for intent that I've seen before include "Mean to" , "Committed" , "Firm - plan - steadfast - purpose" , "With attention concentrated, bent on" , "Earnest, purpose" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
