The whole camp thing feels like it's been tacked on so R* can monetise another thing online. I think I've only been to my camp once since I started playing, and I'm level 30 now.
I really don't see a point in it at all. I would actually prefer the way Arthur can set up a camp in the wilderness... Hell, the had it in RDR, for Pete's sake, so they really should either bring an individual campsite online, or make it worth people's time and money to upgrade the camp and spend time there.
