The dungeon crawl vision is antithical to camping. If you try
to make both coexist, either the dungeon crawlers get way too
little "prize" loot, or the campers get way too much.
Duplicating zones would ease overcrowding, but it wouldn't
change the campquest state of the game. Even if you
duplicated each zone so many times that each party were
practically alone in their own dungeon, the crawl party would
only see maybe one special mob per night while the camp party
would see multiple. Too little or too much.
