Morphology
The meaning 'an area of land set aside for people to pitch tents or park RVs' is directly derivable from combining 'camping' (the activity of sleeping outdoors) with 'ground' (the earth/land): literally, ground for camping. This noun+noun/location composition is a common, cross-linguistic and conventional pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Camping ground is a very literal name: it comes from the words camping and ground, meaning the ground where people set up tents or park camper vans. So, it means 'an area of land set aside for people to camp'.
