MegaBirdDoes it mean they didn't set up a camp, or they did get back to the camp on time?
It depends on the context. Here are two examples, one with each meaning:
1. It's going to be dark in about an hour, we'll make camp here for the night.
2. It's getting dark, we're going to have to hurry if we want to make camp before sunset.
