First you need to define what sort of level of campsite is it that you're seeking. Is it the overnight stop for a bunch of Ithilien rangers sneaking about the place or an elaborate command tent area for a harad King as he slowly makes his way to Mordor? The former will be a few blanket rolls and maybe a subtle campfire while the latter will have huge, ornate tents, stacks of spears for the guards, a cooking area, tents for bodyguards, the King's banner, and so on.
Anything that doesn't act as cover and/or an obstacle should be put lower down the list to obtain, since it's game effects that matter most. Renedra do a nice range of plastic tents (and some campsite items as well), which you might consider if only for templates to make your own. Piled baggage is always good - backpacks and blanket rolls for light troops, barrels and crates for larger contingents. Tethered horses or mules might make an objective as well as an obstacle. A small pen of wooden stakes or wattle fencing could contain beef on the hoof - cattle to feed the troops. Piles of firewood are always easy to obtain and prepare, with maybe some tree trunks sawn flat to provide somewhere to sit. A few sticks with rope between might provide a washing line or somewhere for blankets to air, depending on how long they're camped for. Small watch fires might lie out on the periphery to detect incoming enemies without disclosing the centre of the camp. A prominent flag stand - possibly even on the back of a cart - would tell the army where the commanding general is, and lesser flags might denote nobles, sub-commanders, visitors, etc. A few slaves or prisoners might be sitting forlornly in a cage or stockade nearby. Wagons and carts - emptied of supplies overnight - are great to fight over, especially if they form part of a defensive laager. Portable tables would generally be crude affairs - planks laid across folding trestles - and there would be stools rather than chairs for portable comfort. Blankets or rough benches might supply somewhere for officers to sit while receiving briefings. A Shaman or War Priest might have a portable altar for their evil rituals while Good troops might have a small shrine with them.
