The aim of camping? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

intent

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

'the aim' is the definition.
('intent' can be a synonym of 'aim')

'camping?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'camping?' could be 'tent' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'tent' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'in' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for intent that I've seen before include "Keen" , "With attention concentrated, bent on" , "Bent on, resolved" , "set" , "Meaning -- determined" .)
