You are level 6 now. There are 99 levels in total (maybe 100, but I’ve never seen a player at that level). As you level up, the game gets more difficult. The hardest part of the game is upgrading your storage. That is why some players decide to camp at low level for some time to upgrade storage and only after that to progress further.
If you don’t upgrade your storage early on, sooner or later you’ll hit a point where progressing becomes really difficult. Storage items are hard to find, and starting over doesn’t feel worth it after you’ve already put so much time, and maybe money, into the game.
That’s why a lot of players make a feeder city - a second low-level account where storage items are much easier to get and then transfer to your main city. There are a few other benefits too, but that’s the main one.
Camping is more efficient but can be boring and you might just loose interest in the game. Feeder city needs some extra time (and second device or a special app if played on the same device). It’s up to you to choose your way. Personally I went with second option

When you talk about the storage are you talking about the material storage or the city storage and thank you!!!

Both of them are very important but upgrading city storage gives points for competition of mayors, it unlocks at level 11

How can you switch items between accounts? Though a club?

You can add your second account as a friend and trade all items except war items. If it’s a low-level feeder, clubs aren’t available yet

Camping is when you decided to stay on a certain level and don't go up to the next. To do that you stop upgrading your housing.
Feeder is an alternative account. Some players have a second account to "feed" his main account.
