Camphor is solid material ,that is sublimate.The bond of the camphor breaks when the specific temperature is given to the camphor which directly changes the state of camphor into liquid state it is all upon its ignition temperature.

The proccess in which the solid state of matter gets converted into gaseous state without passing through the liquid state is called sublimation, and, the deposited crystalline material so obtained is called sublimate.

Like any solid, camphor CAN sublime. The fact that you can smell it so well attests to that fact (you can smell the vapor that has sublimed from the solid).
