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

'set up accommodation leader spots to the west' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'leader spots to the west' is the wordplay.
'leader' becomes 'pm' (PM is an example).
'spots' becomes 'acne' (skin condition causing spots).
'to the west' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (letters written right to left or 'east to west').
'pm'+'acne'='pmacne'
'pmacne' back-to-front is 'ENCAMP'.

Can you help me to learn more?
