So, a bit confused about a particular scenario that came up. I plan to use a Cambion (half-fiend) as an enemy when the party has access to Banishment. My question is, would Banishment send him to the Hells/Lower Planes/etc, or the harmless demiplane as described by the spell, since he is half-human and I'm saying he was born in the Material Plane, but he is still considered a fiend.

Since the Cambion is native to the Prime Material Plane, it will depend where they are when the spell is cast.
If they're on the Prime Material Plane, the Cambion will be banished to a harmless demiplane.
If they're on another plane of existance, the Cambion will be banished to the Prime Material Plane.
It's up to you. From the sounds of it, a cambion could be native to either the Prime Material plane or the Fiendish planes perhaps depending on where it was born.
"Cambions raised in the Nine Hells serve as soldiers, envoys, and personal attendants to greater devils. In the Abyss, a cambion carries only as much authority as it can muster through sheer strength and force of will."
The text for cambions certainly indicates that some of them are raised in the Nine Hells or the Abyss while the text on parentage indicates that some of them may grow up on the Prime Material plane. So, deciding where the cambion was born and grew up will decide the effect of the Banishment spell on it.

It's up to you. You decide what his home plane is.

The OP said the Camion was born in the Material Plane so it's where it is native from. Where it was raised is not important to the spell.
