Be warned, these camps have a high risk of dying and sometimes often. You can usually get so much exp it doesn't hurt much but have at least a scroll of instant reraise and a fully charged RR earring at all times.
Having HQ staves and such is not necessary but bear in mind that the better your gear (food too) the better your chances of survival. This is especially true when going to a new camp at the minimum level or trying a higher camp earlier.

I have found that duoing (sometimes trio) is the absolute best way to go about these camps. With 2 ppl your chances of dying and exp flow is much better. The only downside is that the exp does take a small hit so you may want to switch to the next camp a lvl or 2 early.
If you encounter someone at a solo camp near your lvl, always ask if they want to Team Up. Most of my duo partners were complete strangers who even if they didn't need a partner, joined up anyways to help another BLM out and to avoid any accidental deaths.

Other than that please do not solo while /anon as it makes it impossible to see if anyone is soloing that camp. Walking all the way out to Pso'xja to find a /anon BLU or BLM soloing at the only camp is just bad business. Set in your search comment your <pos> of camp and BST Pet or something similar to let anyone else know that you are there. This will hopefully avoid anyone showing up and trying to steal camp unless thay are complete assholes. In that case I recommend coming up with a solution to ruin their day as they have tried to ruin yours. Personally my favorites were continually zoning a Goblin in Oldton Mov. until the JP BLM logged off (probably crying). Hey I was there for an hour before he showed up and he never asked to join me. Just thought he could start killing my mobs. So I stunned the gob, skilled up Dark magic and made it impossible to get any exp.
If you do this to someone who was there first you deserve to die! Don't be an ass, wait your turn. Some solo camps are busy for days at a time. No one said this was always easy.
Good Luck, happy hunting, and please be respectful.

The original guide that the Wiki post is from is the Detailed Solo Guide - Lv. 19-70 by Salacia. Reading through the 5 pages of it I came across these bits:

At ~62-66 you can solo the qiqirn enterprisers at the I-10 entrance to Aydeewa from Wajaom Woodlands pretty safely. There are 4 that pop here, all fairly close to the zone but far enough apart from each other to avoid links. Cast blink, stoneskin, and make sure to nuke from a distance, as they will hit you very hard if you stand too close. Otherwise they only use a ranged attack which will not interrupt your casting. I generally had to sleep them at about 25-30% and rest some mp back to finish them off.

At about ~67-71 you can go to the Qiqirn Archaelogists at the E-10 entrance from Wajaom. I believe there are 7 mobs in this area, so it is possible to have 2 BLMs soloing depending on level. Two are quite close to the zone, so if you're going there for the first time you can test one out pretty safely. Be warned that these will sometimes run away from you and grab links. I don't think that I would attempt this camp without sleepga II. If you can get your kill order/pop time into a groove you shouldn't have to worry about the links too much though. There is a lottery pop NM qiqirn here too, although I've only seen it once. He linked to the mob I was casting on before I even realized it was an NM. He will range attack you for 250 or so a hit, so I wouldn't attempt killing him if you see him.

Just wanted to add that once you're at 68 blm/rdm can easily solo Om'hmpted (spelling?) in sea. At 71 many were still giving me 300 base xp.
Gravity -> drain -> run -> nuke -> repeat until they open their mouth then biggest nuke.
As a hume with medochre gear I started to be able to reliably solo them without resting around level 70.

At lvl 70, or even at 68, you could go to Aydeewa Subterrance for exp on the Qiqirn Archeologist. Entrance is at E-10 Wajaom Woodlands, but fastest route to get there is from Mamool Ja staging point, escape from Mamook, then take a short walk there. Chain 2 is possible at lvl 68, and it's very doable at lvl 69 for no less than 1k/chain. Duo is recommended since faster kill = more exp. There are 2 of them right at zone, so you could practice soloing. They don't melee, but they do run to their sweet spots like a real RNG, so keep that in mind to avoid link.
