Not according to the posted rules, which is why those rules are basically a running joke because the rules are only rules if enforced, and if you petition you're typically going to get a lose/lose solution anyway.
(According to the rules, as posted) you absolutely can camp multiple things in a dungeon and if someone else shows up and starts taking mobs that you already were killing, unannounced, they are in violation, as they didn't communicate with you first and ask which camp you wanted.
e.g. given your example, if you were holding both Hands and LCY in Karnors, and someone wanted to pull from one of them, they need to ask you first which one you want. If you were sitting in LCY, they need to give you the opportunity to go "oh I'd rather have Hands" and move your group.
However, the "unofficial rule" tends to be you sit on the camp you actually want, pull whatever else you can that someone else isn't sitting on, and if someone else starts killing a camp you aren't sitting on but doesn't ask first if you wanted it, you suck it up and let them take it anyway (an "unwritten FFA rule").

I think both those scenarios actually fit into the
official rules.
Let's take the LCY/Hands scenario: the person holding both camps has to ... hold both camps. They only have a few seconds (the staff has never specified exactly how long) to grab the mob, and if they don't they lose the camp.
So, if they are holding both, but they're at LCY and Hands pops, anyone taking Hands is
officially in the clear ... as long as they just wait a few seconds to see that no one is taking it on pop.
All the stuff about communicating and picking a camp is if you get there
before the pop. If you see him clearing Hands, you can ask "hey are you camping Hands?", and if they say "yes, and LCY", then you can say "I'd like to camp Hands: do you want to keep it (and give me LCY), or do you want to keep LCY and give me hands?"
But again, the
only "unofficial" part is the unknown time for waiting: if you take Hands after only one second, did you wait long enough to give the camper a chance to kill it first? That part is admittedly a bit murky

I've talked to GMs first hand in this situation and they confirm the rules are correct that the other party should be asking first, but like I said, if you petition at best they will ensure you have a chance to pick the camp you wanted and at worst will make you both share, and that's if you can even get hold of a GM, so the "unofficial rule" tends to be how it's played.

This has not been my experience at all. 99% of the time I resolve camp disputes just fine by explaining the rules and communicating with the other player, but in the 1% of the time where someone isn't following them, the staff has always responded to my petition (if they respond at all) by supporting me and helping me keep my camp.
