Ex 99 Question

Salvete!
I was reviewing older material and I came across a problem for part II of exercise 99, question 2.
"My son Sextus is carrying his booty to the Roman camp." It says not to use dative.
I came up with "Filius meus Sextus praedam suam ad castram Romanam portat." I felt weird using the accusative for Roman camp but I know I've seen that use somewhere in D'Ooge already.
The key gave me the following answer when I checked it.
Filius meus Sextus praedam suam in castra Romana portat.
I know this use of the ablative is wrong, because in means in/on.
Are either of these answers right?
