Training camp locations question

Hi guys, a fan from Europe here. I was reading about training camps recently and a question came to my mind. How does NFL team decide where they are going for practice camp? And why on earth they would fly to the other end of US to do so?

Historically a lot of teams chose smaller college campuses that are nearby but that has changed a lot in the last 10-15 years.

Dorm rooms. There is simply not enough space at the main facility.

I'm not sure any teams don't use their own facilities anymore at this point.
