Not sure where to find jungle camp stats as of now, ive heard of negative mr and such so id like to know if running magic pen or lethality is going to help clear speed.

Magic pen doesn't help against camps. They do have negative MR. I think AR pen does help.

You will do, by far, less damage to jungle monsters with penetration in the early game. Penetration is for late game.

To any monsters with resistance of 0 or less, penetration will have not any effect and can be considered useless in that situation. Taking AD/AP will be better for early game.

It's up to you to decide whether taking penetration for late game is worth it, or taking damage for early game to reach late game better is worth it.

penetration does not help in jungle except against dragon and baron. Magic pen will help clearing red buff, but armor pen does nothing on it. Armor pen helps clear blue buff, but magic pen does nothing for that, and outside of that, penetration doesnt help at all.
