Yeah, leap frogged. But, the GM clarified to me that even if the camp is clear, and nobody is there keeping a constant presence, it is considered open. I might have misunderstood, but I was told that you have to be at the camp, even when nothing is up in order to claim a camp.
I've always given a few minutes grace period. Nobody at camp, but camp is clear? Nobody in zone? I'll wait a few minutes for someone to show up before I attempt to start taking over. But what the GM told me is that the grace period (seemingly 30 seconds) is only necessary if others players are physically at the camp. (It might take them a minute to buff up before they attempt to kill, etc)
Doesn't mean I won't continue giving few minutes grace period when I show up to an empty camp with no players in it --- but this GM made it apparent that isn't necessary. If nobody is at camp when you show up, you can claim it if you can clear it.
I don't petition for stuff like this, instead I log off or find something else to do. There's also no way to prove who was or wasn't in zone, as far as I know. Either way, I think players should have some reasoning skills to say, "Oh this person must have been clearing the camp. I'll leave them to it." And not pull out the PnP guide book and start LawyerQuesting over time-locked content that isn't going anywhere.

Generally how I've seen it done is if you are still in the zone and only leave the camp for a bit and are back before the next spawn, a GM will usually say it's still your camp. Easy example: Sisters in LFay, you've cleared the camp and are just making the short run to the elf vendors and back. If you're back for the next spawn it's usually ruled as still your camp.
If you leave the zone, you cannot still lay claim to the camp.
