The settings variable CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH is an extension of your media directory. So by setting it like this
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')
CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH = "uploads/"
you’d end up with an upload path like <PROJECT_ROOT>/media/uploads/2014/03/29/<FILENAME>
You can drop the uploads\
completely and just use an empty string for CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH
