Invalid Destination
I got this camel habitat off the Planet Zoo Workshop -- so I didn't make it myself.

I believe I placed it down correctly but every time I go to put a camel in the habitat, it says "Invalid Destination." It has a null barrier around it. I have tried adding a different barrier -- didn't work. There is a staff gate already placed. There are also staff members in the area. I just can't figure out what the problem is.

Try placing the BP again from scratch because you said you had edited the original barrier and there is no way what you have at the moment will work, once placed and the staff path is connected click on your trade centre and as stated before select an animal, click on move to zoo then click on the inside of the habitat
If none of that works try doing a Steam file integrity check in case you have a corrupted file

Are you moving the animal by hand or just choosing return to habitat?

I go to my animal storage and hit send to zoo.

If the animal has never been in the habitat yet then it won't know where to send it as it's just a blank habitat. Check the animal and hit move. Then drag and drop it in the habitat.
EDIT: A caretaker will still move it you will just be telling him where to take it.

If that doesn't work can you go to edit barrier and screenshot it so we can see where the null barriers are and I assume you've checked the path connected to the gate is also connected to the trade centre, finally if you can post a link here to the BP you downloaded I'll check it out in one of my zoos

I just checked and it doesn't say move but does say Send to Zoo. If you are clicking inside that habitat and it still says invalid destination then it must be one of the things mentioned by Moving Target.

Spotted it I think - the keepers gate seems to be INSIDE the null barrier in picture 2 - try moving the gate or redoing the null barrier and make sure it connects to either side of the keeper gate - can't quite make it out but there seems to be a second null barrier inside the building too, if that is connected to the keeper gate then that would also be causing a problem

Yeah, the keeper's gate is clearly inside the null barrier but I can't tell what's inside the building. To the best of my knowledge you can't BP barriers inside other barriers. They disappear when the BP is placed.

Screenshot 1 seems to be showing a null barrier inside the building, that barrier isn't there in the original - see my screenshot for the original barrier layout, not quite sure what happened when the OP tried to fix the barrier but it's a hot mess now lol, best to just start again

I just looked at it too. When facing the habitat gate the left barrier needs to be extended into the building and follow the wooden railing else the guests will be inside the habitat.

What happened to the barrier in the bottom right corner of your screenshot?
