Go to a place where they can't hurt you. Eventually a Link or Fox or whoever is going to get tired of jumping around spamming bombs and boomerangs or SHDLs when all you have to do is stand and jump in place. Or duck. Use your dash attack to approach a SHDLing Fox, it's fast and you duck pretty low. Choose stages where camping is more difficult.

I am guessing you are more talking about vsing Fox, right?

Do similar to what Moogle said. use dash attack if the opponent uses a Double laser or single laser too close. If you use it too often, the opponent can grab you out of it. if the fox user is on the same height as you, crouch and then down tilt, or do it directly into a DJC or running A.

Try starting combos with a back air, n-air, or f-air. Up tilt does not work nearly as well to start off combos compared to Link or DK or such as Fox can easily hit you before you hit him. DJC's are much better to start with or a short hop f-air.

Either pick Dreamland and use lots of prediction (preferably correct prediction) or pick Hyrule/Saffron and sit on the right/left side (respectively) and wait. Put your controller down, have a cup of tea. Maybe throw a couple eggs while you're at it.

Parry them, nair, jab, duck, dash attack under them all work against most projectiles.

That's not going to work vs. players who are actually meant to camp (patient ones), and you gain nothing.

Why does it necessarily have to be projectile camping he's talking about. Maybe he's talking about something like Kirby U-tilt camping, which many Yoshis have trouble with. If that's the case, I would say to USE NEUTRAL B since it's pretty much the only reliable move that can beat the U-tilt.

u can either resort to the ***** mode of camping like a ***** or do a tricky approach and trick them and ****

i don't encourage playing a homo but if it works for you then do it

Like i've stated in my first post. I play melee style (inclose fighting) think like Zero from the X series or Zero series. I'm against camping myself i hate it with a passion but it seems whenever i play someone in tournament fights or regular matches that camps i always lose to them so i need a idea or two. Some of these idea's was really great actually

Jake is definitely dropping Yoshi
Use eggs. Sure, they may be very easy to block and avoid, but if you use them efficiently enough, you can annoy them enough to the point where they'll approach you. Just make sure that you can't be punished while using the egg ;)

What I often do is if my opponent is camping excessively, but is within range of punishing an egg thrown by me, I'll throw the egg right in front of me, so that if they try to punish me, they'll get hit by the egg (since it's in their way).
