Are the gates open with all survivors still alive? If so the killer pretty much has to camp if they want to have a chance at getting a kill. So in this case it is a hard no. Coordinated survivors can still get a 4 escape with a camping killer and open gates.
If the game is still young with barely any progress on the gens, maybe then you have a case to penalize the killer for camping, but you can't just eliminate camping altogether.
The games poor balance currently requires it against good survivors. If we balance the game properly then sure remove it, but no we can’t just remove it without significant other changes as well. Camping is not the sickness, it’s a symptom. You need to fix WHY killers camp, not just punish them for doing it.
No, for the majority of killers camping is counterable the survivors just need to be smart. If you misplayed and put the killer in a situation where 3 people are injured and the guy is about to die, the killer shouldn't be excluded of the option of just making sure the survivors dies. The skill part just doesnt need to be on the killer survivors need to play well too

This isn't just a yes or no question.

As much as I hate camping, sometimes it's a necessary thing.
Its the same if you've asked "should we stop survivor from completing the generator without interrupting their work".
