Sleeps in the centre of ornate campsite (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

naps

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

'sleeps' is the definition.
(I know this)

'centre of ornate campsite' is the wordplay.
'centre of' indicates the central letters.
'campsite' becomes 'ps' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The middle letters of 'ornate' are 'na'.
'na'+'ps'='NAPS'

'in the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for naps that I've seen before include "Span including short sleeps" , "Takes forty winks" , "Tips; sleeps" , "Snoozes" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
