I would not consider it a simple marching camp, but a logistic base for the campaign. If we look at real marching camp, we can consider Polybius' marching camp. Created for two legions and related auxiliary troops, with no much space between tents and palisade, we have an area about 36 ha (88 acres) in size. And, as said, Severus troops were something more (probably around the effective of 3 legions, around 2 legions from italy, including Pretorians, plus vexillationes from Britain legions, and obvs auxiliary troops). The figures are compatible.
