So that was a little weird...
I clicked on a waypoint for "camp" and got transported to a different part of the map that I haven't even discovered yet, and which isn't yet connected to the coastal region I arrived at in the beginning of the game. Did I miss something? Because I could well have done-- there's a ton of stuff to learn in this game and I am still trying to figure out the basics properly.

Where were you exactly when you went to camp?

when you teleport to your camp you... are in your camp...

how is that not obvious?

There are different camps.
Resting in Underdark will give you a different camp than resting in the forge area.

I had gone looking for my stuff after some kids stole it in some hub area and found a way into an underground passage where I fought some orcs guarded by two statues with glowing eyes (and some unconscious druid I couldn't figure out how to revive).

I found a way out and explore above ground for a bit, found Level 3 Owl Bear underground which I didn't engage with (because my party was still Level 2) and so I exited and explored more.

Then I decided that this was getting me nowhere and decided to fast travel back to the original hub area, but "camp" was not the waypoint to pick.

So I was just wondering what I have got myself into as I figure out the game's systems before full release drops in August. It seems like a massive step up from Divinity OS2, that's for sure.
Let me repeat: where were you exactly when you used fast travel to go to camp? I don't care what you were doing, only where you were.

I'll load up the game right now and take a look, try to figure it out. (I might have been at some place with sheep, two dead guys looking to find their sister who had gone to see a "hag", but I have to make sure that's exactly where I was.)
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

Woah! I just took a full rest at camp in order to access waypoints again and woke up where I had been before I teleported: at the Sunlit Wetlands, standing next to one of the two dead brothers.

Aha! Thanks for the info.
Ok, so here's how it works:

Overground and underground/indoors use different camps, both are instanced areas unconnected to the main map.

When you "go to camp" during the day you are basically just accessing your camp stash and any camp followers or companions you told to wait at camp. If you are underground/indoors, it will be a different camp, but you will have access to all the same things (or at least should). When select 'leave camp' you should reappear exactly where you were when you went to camp. You should also have the option to rest by clicking on a bedroll.

Pressing the long rest button will bring you to the same camp as before, except it will be night time and any pending cinematics will play.

Does that clarify things?

It sure does, thank you.
