Not sure if these are the best movies with a camp setting but they are fun nonetheless.

Blood Reaper (2004) - Tents and cabins though both aren't in use very much as the victims rather walk/run through the great outdoors.
Memorial Valley Massacre (1988) - Pretty neat camp site with tents, RVs and trailers.
Satan's Blade (1984) - Log cabins and snow setting. Rare for slashers.
Bloody Murder 2: Closing Camp (2003) - Just like Troll / Troll 2 you don't need to see the first one. It's all about the sequel. Cabins galore.
Prophecy (1979) - Log cabins and tipis.
Motor Home Massacre (2005) - RVs and tents.

If you're looking for comedy, I'd recommend Troma's The First Turn-On. One of their early sex comedies, but I believe it's one of the better ones. It even has a young Vincent D'onofrio in a role as a psychotic camper. Pretty funny, but cheesy (in the best way).

As for horror, I think Sleepaway Camp is the definitive camp slasher. Even better than any Friday the 13th, IMO. Troma's Decampitated is an underrated one with a really kick-ass soundtrack.
