The Kohathites' camp location on the south side places them in proximity to the sanctuary's entrance (the east). Their position reflects their significance: they are positioned closer to the center of Israel's organization, near the priests and the tabernacle's main approaches.
This geographic arrangement serves practical purposes. Being positioned on the south allows the Kohathites quick access for guarding, setup, and removal of the sacred vessels. Their proximity mirrors their prominence in the sanctuary's operations.
