There's no camping macros!!!!
Read this FAQ
You need to do this branch ATK.....it's a long grind but not when you're already out there hunting grinding your other Ranger XP.
Hunt, camp, heal, hunt some more - repeat.

Hey, before you post, you might want to do a quick search for threads which contain similar ideas/desires. You are the third person in the past 12 hours to ask for a quick and easy way through scout/ranger. So really, I think the other threads are on the first page and you could get your information without adding another thread to the pile.
But basically, no. There are macros out there, but they actually make you take LONGER to go through the branch. Camping is just one of those great professions where being at the keyboard is actually better than AFK'ing or macroing.
Go to the scout forum and read Brisc's guide to getting through scout. He gives all sorts of great tips for going through scout. If you go Ranger, apply the same concepts.

grinding macro's are almost on my pet hate list now as much as afk harvesters.

Yanno, I am beginning to think this is a conspiracy to get me to stop being all nice and polite and sh1t.
S'not werking.
I will not flame the people who are sofa king wee todded they are not able or willing to actually earn a title, they want in NOW.
Sad really. These are the type of "rangers" (lowercase intentional) who know absolutely nothing about absolutely everything. Ask one the best weapons to use on Kimo's, or what weapons not to. What traps work best on Krayts. What traps work best on Rancors. I could go on for days... better to ask where the cloner is in Theed, as most never left there.
Yeah, let me see a "ranger" with no badges asking for training. A rude salute and he/she/it better have the filter on.
To the 90% of the profession, salute.
to the other rabble, KMA kiddies, no soup for you.

see, I did not flame "anyone" - I still put the fun in dysfunctional

wow guys...asking for a simple macro seems like someone hit your new car on the back!
stay calm! at the end is just a game!
i was asking a macro just to complete the last to box of the camping tree on the ranger profession.
as far now i have not macroed anything and i played myself( not AFK) all the path to 4244.
I Like the profession and tought was just stupid to keep doing the boring/setupcamp and disbanding just to get up there to 4.
and personally i dont think there is anything more to learn doing that for the last two boxes.
but, if this is what you like me to do, I will do that way.
Farewell to all of you!

As its stated in the scout FAQ the quickest way to grind camping is making camps. There is a second way now with calling pet/droids 20 times to max out your camp count as well.

The reason people on the boards flip out about stuff like this (myself included) is that it gets asked over....... and over ........ AND OVER again. it gets a little old real fast.
sit in ranger camps for about 30 mins (thats full xp right? i can't remember anymore) anyhoo and power craft camps in practice mode on your tool if you finished tracking and wayfairing first you will have plenty of hides and bones to finish atleast the first2 boxes(metal is easy to find on the bazzar)

21 actually.
but that was before the change allowing crafting. And that is lump on a log, don't do squat but sit, camping,
Which is why macros waste 30 minutes per camp, as camps poof at 51.

Forgive my ranger colleagues but once you've been around a while it does wear a little thin to be asked this repeatedly. I'm sure you can understand that. That said, they are basically right - there is no macro that you can do to get through camping and yes, you are basically right - it's boring and a real horrible grind (if you choose to grind it).
If you're in a hurry to get to Master Ranger, then here is some advice that isn't a macro but may help you on your way.
Why not join a guild (if not already in one) and ask if they can meet in camps? Then while the meeting is going on and you are gainfully employed, you can sit there and put a few camps up and down. More people there also helps you earn the xp quicker.
Why not hold a fishing competition (or just go fishing) and sit contemplating the meaning of life while gutting a few fish, earning some cash for fish meat in the process, and grabbing some camping xp.
Why not go do a cave or something with some friends and then both before and after, pitch up a few camps to do buffs (before) and heals (after).
Does your galaxy hold squill hunts? Go along and just as the lair is being finished off, pitch up a camp so people can heal up and you can grab a quick bit of xp as well as improving your harvesting and combat skills.
I am sure there are more... good luck on getting to Master Ranger. I didn't grind it (took me six months) but I have to say that that last box of camping had me on a mission to find creative ways of getting the xp without having to wait any longer.

It's not boring..... set up camp near a lake, set a timer for 20 minutes... fish meanwhile and the disband camp and repeat the process (Finally sell the fish for 1-2K at the Bazaar).
Having a combat droid is also fun.... don't group with it... and send it out to kill stuff whilst you sit in your camp drinking a cold beer.
Sometimes, even talking to your droid is fun.... a little crazy but, hey... you have like 70 hrs to burn camping 
It's never boring as long as you invent something to do 
Ps, craft stuff as well you can sell.... whilst camping (Frontiering is for the Ranger what Hell week is for the the Seal Team. When you pass it, you have earned your Master Ranger tag )
