These are just a few ideas for the expansion or enhancement of the Camping skill. The basic skill use is to remain unchanged. Rather, these ideas are in addition to the existing functionality.

Kindling still functions as the method for starting a campfire.

Bedrolls still function as the method for logging out in a secure camp.

The delay in securing a camp could be scaled down based on skill level. Normally it takes 30 seconds to secure the camp. For every 5 points in Camping, deduct one second of from the delay. At GM, this would mean waiting only 10 seconds to secure the camp.
