For an accessible introduction to modern (>= 3.10) Camlp4, you may be
interested in Jake Donham's blog post series "Reading Camlp4" :
http://ambassadortothecomputers.blogspot.com/search/label/camlp4
You will also find valuable (though incomplete) information on the
camlp4 wiki : http://brion.inria.fr/gallium/index.php/Camlp4

The older version of camlp4 (< 3.10, now called camlp5) also provides
a documentation
http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/tutorial-camlp4/index.html , and you can
also use to Martin Jambon's tutorial
http://martin.jambon.free.fr/extend-ocaml-syntax.html (for the older
camlp4).
