Each profession places its own camp object once you have done the camp quest; the skill is what the client snapshot asks for. Plan a whole camp in the WoW Forever camping planner.
This page gives the talents level by level, not the quests to do; two paid addons plan leveling routes inside the game, compared in Zygor vs RestedXP for WoW Forever (the comparison contains affiliate links).
