The Camp is a Light Effect from Tatooine.

Card Text

Deploy on table. Each non-battleground docking bay generates no more than one Force for either player. Opponent's aliens deploy +1 on Tatooine (or +2 if non-unique or to same Tatooine site as your Jedi, or +4 if both). (Immune to Alter.)

Lore

An isolated camp protected by Obi-Wan and Captain Panaka was established at the Queen's starship while Qui-Gon searched for a way to repair the leaking hyperdrive.

Strategy

By I-Ming Chen

This Effect puts the hurt on two annoying and dominant strategies in the game. With Heading For The Medical Frigate (from the DSII set), you can even start with it!

First, while you have The Camp out, your opponent will be less likely to activate a high amount of Force on turn 2 like in the past. No more camping at non-battleground docking bays with some cheap characters using the Imperial Arrest Order + Mobilization Points combo. If they want to, they must pay the price... occupy or control a battleground docking bay instead. Some will say that this will hurt decks like Ralltiir Operations, but that deck worked fine without that combo, and note that it affects both players. This card puts the "Wars" back in Star Wars. :)

Second, this card mitigates the bonuses the Dark Side reaps with Scum And Villany. Alien base decks can still be popular but they won't get the nearly free deploy that they used to get. Most aliens will end up costing what is printed on the card, but they should stay far away from the Jedi since that is Maul's and Vader's department.
