Eliashberg & Gromov sketched a proof in their paper "Convex symplectic manifolds" (Section 3.4). Written in the 4-dimensional case it says:
For $r>0$ define the subspace $X(r)\subset\mathbb{R}^4$ to be the union of the half-space $\lbrace q_2<0\rbrace$ and the half-space $\lbrace q_2>0\rbrace$ and the 3-ball $\lbrace(p_1,p_2,q_1,0)\;|\;p_1^2+p_2^2+q_1^2<r^2\rbrace$. For $R>r$ there is no 1-parameter family of symplectomorphismssymplectic embeddings $S(t):B(0,R)\to (X(r),\omega_\text{std})$$S_t:(B(0,R),\omega_\text{std})\to (X(r),\omega_\text{std})$ with the image of $S(0)$$S_{t\le0}$ in $\lbrace q_2<0\rbrace$ and the image of $S(1)$$S_{t\ge1}$ in $\lbrace q_2>0\rbrace$.
McDuff & Traynor ("The 4-dimensional symplectic camel and related results") go on to show that $X(r_1)$ and $X(r_2)$ are symplectomorphic if and only if $r_1=r_2$. Oh they also give Eliashberg--Gromov's proof of the camel theorem (Theorem 5.2), reducing it to the monotonicity lemma as in the usual Gromov nonsqueezing theorem.
