(A) seems odd to me without 'camp'. The idiom is 'to pitch camp' (no article).

Do you feel weird if I just say,
They pitched (without any objects).
at / by / near / beside the waterfall. (all acceptable?)

Pitched at the waterfall would mean; you're throwing something at the "Waterfall".
Pitched their tent beside/near/by the waterfall makes sense.
