How do you say:

> I slept in a tent on/at the campsite.

I've been trying to make sense with it for a while now and I just can't make
it work.

I think I know the vocabulary needed: 寝ました, テント, キャンプサイト and maybe 一張? If you
know words that would fit better, please tell me.

How do I express "I slept in a tent" in Japanese?
There are many ways you could say it.  
テント+寝る seems fine if you want a short and easy way to say it.

As far as camping goes, you can use 野営 and 野宿 but I don't think they are as
common as キャンピング.

If you want a fancy sentence, maybe you could go with something like.

> 昨日は野営して、テントで寝ました。

Which would mean

> Yesterday I went camping and slept in a tent.

You could say...

>  ( _Lit._ slept in a tent, at the campsite.)
>   * キャンプ場のテントで寝ました。 as suggested by @naruto.  
>  ( _lit._ slept in a tent of/at the campsite.)

You could say:

>   * キャンプ場にあるテントで寝ました。
>     * I slept in a tent (that is) standing on the(a) campsite.
>   * キャンプ場のテントで寝ました。
>     * I slept in a tent of the campsite.
>

I rarely say キャンプサイト. It would be better if you said キャンプ場.
