Charity's first to move east to set up accommodation (6)

I believe the answer is:

encamp

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'charity's first to move' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'east to set up accommodation' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'east' could be 'e' (abbreviation) and 'e' is found within the answer.
'set' could be 'camp' (camp is a kind of set) and 'camp' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'n' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for encamp that I've seen before include "Put up tents" , "Settle in tents" , "set up home?" , "Pitch tents" , "Settle into a tent" .)
