I can't resist a bit myself. How about you?

Minimal to none really.
Except in Superhero games, where a little is suitable to the genre.

P.S. - I have at least one good friend who will be disappointed in me for my stance too.

Minimal to none.

However, other players in the group have different ideas. There's one player who cannot avoid camp; every one of his characters is campy.

Depends on the style of game and who I'm playing with. Also, I don't GM campy games well but I love playing in them. Depends on the strengths and mood of the group. I've been known to love it both ways.

It isn't constant. There are cases where camp is good, cases where it isn't. Or... sometimes I feel like a nut, sometimes I don't.

Yep, that about sums up my position too.

What would camp mean in a roleplaying game? The party meets in an inn? Monsters in rooms they can't get out of? Caves behind waterfalls? Gelatinous cubes?

Depends on the group to some extent, but my own preference is (within vague reason) the campier the better most of the time. If you're gonna play a role, take it right over the top!

None. Dark humor is often appropriate. Pop culture in-jokes rarely are. Outright slapstick never is.
