Morphology
The meaning 'a place for camping' is directly and transparently derivable from combining 'camping' (the activity of sleeping outdoors) with 'site' (a place or plot of ground); the compound clearly denotes a site used for camping. This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows ordinary noun-compounding, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Camping site comes from the simple picture of choosing a safe spot to set up a camp. Here camping means staying in a tent or caravan and site means the place, so it means 'a place where people can set up tents or park caravans'.
