intent

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

'purpose of camping?' is the definition.
'intent' can be an answer for 'purpose' (synonyms). I'm not sure about the 'of camping?' bit.

'purpose of camping?' is the wordplay.
'purpose of' becomes 'in' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'camping?' becomes 'tent' (I've seen this in other clues).
'in'+'tent'='INTENT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for intent that I've seen before include "Meaning -- determined" , "With attention concentrated, bent on" , "Bent on, resolved" , "Bent on, determined to" , "Concentrating on a particular purpose" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
