Some encampments simply provide you with kitchen space to cook your meal, while others have catered parties with free-flowing alcohol and pantry tents.
Some encampments provide no cooking space or food accommodations at all; indeed it was because of the history of Carolingian baronial encampments being amenity-free zones that we founded Crook'd Cat.
Many camps are effectively theme camps with a communal activity. Crook'd Cat is organized around food and cooking (or was last time I saw it in action). But far more common are fighter camps, where the group is a fighting unit. These are sometimes also geopolitical groups, e.g. Calontir. Some camps host particular events, or build particular structures (e.g. Casa Bardicci, Stairhenge).
