ELI5: What does it mean when someone says horror is “campy”?

I read it a lot. I don’t get it, though. Does it mean tacky? Far fetched? What constitutes a campy horror film?

It's exaggerated for the camera and humor, e.g. the Adam West Batman TV series was campy, but the new ones are not, they are serious.  Shaun of the Dead, Chucky and Army of Darkness are  campy horror movies, it as as much goofiness in it as it does horror, but not It and The Conjuring are not campy.
