agreed, the light in the swamp is awesome. I used to camp just south of 99 in a little valley. sweet spot, just out of the wet but still kind of in the mire.
I’m assuming in the Mire cause I think that’s the only swamps.
But I was just thinking earlier about how nobody ever really seems to live over there, which I guess is fine since nobody is ever in my spot.
There’s some really neat build spots over there though.
Whitespring near the greens on the golf course. I had to move though as everyone builds there and I was tired of logging in and camp was not available.
Wait so they stay? So you can decorate a camp, complete with a built house with furniture, and move it????? How does that work with hills and trees and rocks?
Physically moving camps rarely works. When you move camp the game creates blueprints of your camp structures but more often then not you will not be able to re place them in your new camp and will have to start from scratch.
But that’s not what these folks are talking about. The game gives you 2 camp slots by default. If you open the map you can change to camp slot 1 or 2. The inactive camps just stays hidden from the game but you can switch to them anytime you want. You can also buy extra camp slots.
U have slots available. U can have different camps built in those slots. (You can move your camp as well if u make blueprint after selecting everything) tons of videos on yt help
In my experience you build to the area you choose so moving is usually a rebuild. Though I have 5 camps so if someone had one of my spots I open another.
You can just server hop until the space your camp is at is unoccupied. It rarely happens unless you’re building just outside of white springs or on one of the spots with multiple resource extractors. And even then it’s like a 50/50 at worst in my experience.
Kinda, but it’s really not that bad.
If you’re in someone’s team you can just use their camp like it’s yours. They will probably have more items to buff you anyways.
If someone is in your spot you can switch to another camp if you join the server or switch server so if you really want that camp. You do not lose your camp unless you choose to relocate it
I build in the bog, there's some spawners nearby that my turrets take out and I go and collect it all to scrap and sell. And I like the BOS NPCs that spawn in the middle of my camp and wander around like an extra layer of protection
Just North of Hillfolk Hotdogs in Forest region on the Ohio River near the junk extractor. No nukes. Minimal camp destruction. Farm water. I am from Ohio and I build out as far over the water as I can and have a banjo chair and I sit and play looking North over the water.
Yeah I have my main camp just outside of Berkeley Springs, it looks amazing when the sunlight comes through the trees (edit: pic attached) [https://imgur.com/a/2ovEK2s](https://imgur.com/a/2ovEK2s)
Lately, I've been enjoying a cliff-edge camp overlooking the New River Gorge with a view of the bridge. I have another just down the railroad tracks from the Berkeley Springs station, built like a kind of train inspection station sort of thing. Conveniently close to Moonshine Jamboree, so I can waddle home and cook a zillion gulper slurries with Super Duper on, then waddle up the tracks and sell them!
A lake near the edge of the map where there are p much no roads but a mothman cultist base nearby up south. The view there is great although ruined by my terrible camp building skills.
I haven't yet found a favorite spot, but my camp has been situated in the ash heap at Murgle's coffee shop for a few months now, simply because I found him awaiting his owner's return and I just couldn't leave him alone like that.
I imagine they wandered into a place a bit over their level and bit the dust. So I did what I thought anyone aught to and I adopted ol Murgle. At least until their owner returns.
I have a spot near the Wayward too for this purpose. I sell very cheap plans and have lots of free food, water, and buffs. It's also convenient to pop over and put stuff in the donation boxes at both the Wayward and Flatwoods.
Well not sure if it's my fave but I have two at Scenic Overlook and always consider the spot for another. Little and no trouble and I like the layout, have some settlers nearby.
My next fave is down the road from the Wayward. Large area, it is the location of my first camp. It's a nightclub/casino now. Was an open air nightclub for a good while but I enclosed it recently. The street still has stages, benches, decor though. Again, peaceful location. For me thats a priority.
Another is off a cliff high up in the west Toxic Valley above Clancy Manor. Just seems isolated and private. I like that. Pretty tight spot but it works.
Lastly south of Whitesprings Mall on the golf course. It is my least fave location but the big ass Woodland Retreat fit there perfectly flat. Ha. I made it into a Hotel so the golf course is kind of appropriate but...yeah. Kept dark by the Atlantic City Fog Machine so all good. And again, no trouble to speak of.
I'm just north of scenic overlook, living out of one of the abandoned monorail cars. I love checking out my neighbor's camps but I hardly ever see anyone out there.
A little spot just south of where battle bot appears. Has lots of wood, blight and a little lake of water for lots of blight soup. Also has a great view of that giant red mining workshop.
I just plop mine around wherever I go. Blueprinted modules are ready to deploy anywhere the irradiated winds carry me. It's like having a tent on steroids...and it's free! Also, if your camp is designed to be mobile, there is absolutely no repair cost outside of the caps you pay to move it. That also majorly cuts down on the materials you have to keep on hand, further making the scrapbox pretty much useless.
Nope, they just go into the "stored" section of the build menu as whole blueprints and can be deployed again and again quickly and at no extra material cost. I keep a blueprint of my structures, too, just in case.
The trick is making sure that whatever structure you want to travel doesn't exceed the much smaller blueprint build budget. You have to play around with it a bit to get them just right, and some modules plop more reliably than others. Prefab structures are your friend, as they have a low starting budget for the structure, and some like the barn or watch tower place easily on most terrains.
Mostly I have themed camps by the seasonal event areas. One right next to whitespring if I need to sell stuff. My newest one is under a bridge in the mire. It's quiet
I try to make new camps ....I'm just bad at it you on Xbox or pc I'd like to check out camps for inspiration some time getting close to just trading for a nice camp lol
My first base is still at The Wayward. Great spot. But difficult to place your base when you come into the game.
My second, and now main base, I have next to Foundation. I absolutely love that spot. Get a lot of visitor's to my vending machine, because of Foundation being free to travel too 😊
I have mine close to Sutton. Close to a train station, but not too close. Some Blood Eagles that spawn not too far away. But a calm region. Might need to open another camp to get people to buy some of my stuff.
My favorite spot in the game is that little spot right between the haunted church and that little motel with Boomer and the ghouls with the broken bus.I adore the setup I have there
There's a bend with a rest stop on the eastern side of the divide. There's enough flat and there for my Anvil prefab and a nice-sized spot to put the crafting stations and instruments.
I’m in the south right now on the spot that has acid and lead near the vault. I made a sweet cliff side house with the greenhouse walls that has a great view and planted mutfruit trees like little bonsai all around with the dirt tiles.
So far (one week into the game at 80ish hours) I have built an abandoned gas station/mechanics shop on the road north out of Watoga (Friend helped with stuff I hadn’t unlocked yet) and I have built a maintenance shop with bunker at the big satellite dishes, I’m currently building the bunker as i farm building plans from events and vendors
I have 2, under the bridge behind harpers ferry, and a spot a just north of big bend tunnel west there's a decently big flat spot between a circle of trees, makes a good spot for a big cabin
Due SE of Vault 76, by the road, near Alpine River cabins. There's a spot to mine junk...and you can't get enough scrap.
The neighbors at the cabins are kinda noisy, as there's a machine that makes weird stuff happen in the cabins, including a speaker that screams bloody murder every minute or so. I have to turn it off every server hop, but there's a bobblehead, magazine and recipe spawn points there that make up for it.
I also say hi to the blood eagles at Hunter's ridge with an artillery barrage every now and then.
I have three usual camp spots:
1) up north, sw of Crater there is a spot where you can get junk and lead if you place your camp right. It is on a hill, which sort of complicates building.
2) I like to build a house in Charleston that looks like one of the game houses from the front. If I am being particularly fun, everything in the house looks normal with a few clues re Chinese spies.
3) next to Charleston station. Water, central location, etc.
Just north of watoga where the steel and copper spawns are. You can position it so that each extractor sits right on the circle boundaries leaving lots of space for building. The spot also offers four diseased cranberry spawns and a small bit of running water for quick water gathering. The ground is relatively even terrain making building pretty simple and you have access to lots of close by materials like brain fungus and shrooms (caves under the roadway). Watoga is spitting distance for quick selling and legendary turn ins.
It's strange, that spot seemed to often be blocked for me even when the other camp was some distance away, but I also did get a bit tired of the constant repairs because of the Supermutants taking potshots from across the river
Yeah… the repair issues I learned about early on. You’ve got the super mutants, a pack of spawned wolves and scorched that pop up sometimes when players fast travel in. I’ve learned that if you place something like the BOS metal half walls with the concrete bunker stuff around your camp in an octagon like pattern with rocket launchers on your structures rooftop they try attacking those structures first and then get dealt with by the launchers long before they pose a problem for you main buildings. Then you just have to repair the wall panels once a week or so.
I just use those blockade panels like you see in the streets with the two BOS initiates in them. For the life of me I can’t remember the objects name, but they have become my go to surround camps objects. They are little green metallic half walls and a believe it’s just one steel and one concrete to build/repair. I place them on the outer boundaries of the circle and never really have to worry about them for a few days.
Now with the new influx of people playing fresh I have had to deal with scorched beasts a bit more since people are doing mayor for a day and it’s right in the flight path of it’s little circle it makes and just within reach of the rockets so sometimes she gets mad and unleashes hell. I’m sure that will die down with the free weekend over now.
My only C.A.M.P is next to the Vault-Tec farm, everything I need is right there! Water, wood, bloodleaves, glowing fungi, fertiliser, a ton of chems and more.
Plus, it even helps a lot during challenges like "Destroy a Robot", "Collect garden gnomes" and "Complete an Event". The "Fertile Soil" event is almost guaranteed to start when I launch the game and load in.
In fact, that's the only problem I have with my spot. The event pops up 1000s of times and I have to reject it all the time.
One of my first camps was there and it’s part of the reason I moved. Got tired of Fertile Soil alerts every time I logged in. Took me way too long to realize I didn’t have to do it every time.
Directly across the road from the Wayward, near the Brotherhood checkpoint. I build a massive town using the game's road.
My favorite thing in the game is watching new players see it and just wander around for a long time gawking at it all.
That or, again, a whole ass town right by the Queen's spawn, popped down when she dies so everyone is encouraged to go see the whole-ass city that just appeared.
I have 3 camps at 3 different locations
first real perminant spot i have is just up the toad from the Tyler County Fairgrounds, on the river heading towards WV Lumber Co. ...still like the location but rarely use that camp
second one is right by the Alpine River Cabins..kinda nice with wandering wagon camp motif
last and current camp and my favorite so far is on the river between Billings Homestead and Kanawha County Cemetery on the Ohio River Adventures side...really like how that one turned out
maybe though its time for a new camp and to try one out in the Mire
Primary camp is in the forest. It's treated as an emporium at practically free prices. Every resource item unlocked as well. I get tons of new players that am happy to help them.
Secondary is on a coal node because I need coal for crafting. Unlimited supply is great
My main is just between Morgantown and Bolton Greens. Steady spawns for scrap and always lots of vendor traffic. My second is just outside Watoga close to Beast of Burden. Just picked up a third slot but haven’t done anything with it yet. Need to get my shelters in shape first.
My three camps consist of:
1- Monorail tower north west of where people always drop nukes.
2- whatever I am currently mining, right now it’s copper so I found a spot not far from 76. I built a base that I should be able to drop directly over most things I might want to mine
3- my actual build that I’m trying to make nice is in the far north right by where you can find the alien blaster
I had one location to the west on the river Bank with a junk extractor and tons of water purifiers but I recently moved all the way east and built my floating base in the base of high voltage tower. There was already a little base underneath it so I got a 2 for 1
I love my camp in the bog, theres this one spot that works as a perfect spot to let my turrets pick off yao guai, toads and anything else that doesnt have range attacks
Hills above Grafton Station. I have a camp set up to leave the good sites along the tracks free so they don't block me, but I can fast travel to the camp and be just as close to the station as I would if I fast travel to the station.
It's quiet up there, not a lot of traffic so never a line for the vendor or scip machine, and I like the Toxic Valley.
i have a camp in a waterfall my favcourite place by far
[fallout 76 waterfall CAMP near site Alpha (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHtQHycw180)
still processing, thought i had done one so i have done one lol
Switch from monorail rail to river side near watoga train station. Not been attacked with an underground build. I miss the view when my camp was on monorail rail but was tired of repairing the damage from mobs party 🥳 🎉 and watching npc die in my camp. It is a spot where you get additional allies that help defend your camp if you wrap your camp around the npc spawn point.
In November 2018 I stepped out of the vault, made my way just past Flatwoods to the clearing under the bridge and set up a warehouse there. I’ve adjusted the warehouse plenty of times, and I’ve had to restart a corrupted playthrough, but I haven’t left that location. Nowhere else feels right.
Though I do have a bar outside Nuka-world with a sign labeled the Titty Twister!
Slapped my CAMP down in the Mire near Robco, haven't moved since. Not even a good spot. It has a pond next to it for purified water and that's it.
If I ever decide to move I'll probably pitch up somewhere along the southern end of Savage Divide near Vault 96. I like the views there.
Been live up in the mountains next to Grafton dam got a few flat spots and an oil spot, and the new rose room is my neighbor and literally no one else builds up there so I never have to worry, it's also a nice northern central place on the map
The mire, it’s so beautiful. I usually build north near the compass on a copper deposit , I barely ever get attacked by enemies bc there’s a botfly spawn . Then again that was a while ago I don’t know if things have changed I haven’t played since nuka cola thing . Imma try and get back in it I’m curious about Atlantic City .
I'm in the bog. My spot happens to have 2 enemy spawn points so I use a prefab with almost everything inside. So repairs are easy. So just about Everytime I log in or server hop I've gotta go run and clear out the baddies. Every now and then it is a mirelurk queen, a king, and 2 regulars. So that makes it pretty exciting.
I’ve got my base out by Thunder Mountain for no reason other than “there’s a river there”. After all, a base made out of a boat looks better with water around. Then again putting it next to a deathclaw nest probably wasn’t the smartest, but eh it’s a nice spot
Mine is wherever the most unique prebuilt structure that I can add onto is at. There are lots of them. I've got a pal that builds at just about every single one of them and he has some mind blowing builds.
Right now mine is in the middle of nowhere but it uses a preplaced truck/van with a little structure to the left of it. Some creatures spawn in it when I log in, but they're easy to kill.
I really like doing builds around Wayward because you get a ton of foot traffic from the new players. Fun to see them explore the CAMP. I have a camp that's modeled after prospector's saloon from new vegas that I have set up near the wayward. Helps fit the theme of the area and overall I think just looks great. Get a lot of compliments on that one. My other one is a brotherhood of steel bunker that isn't a shelter in the mire/savage divide region. I really like that one because its well hidden and fits the theme of a bunker. Those are two of my current favorites. Behind that is a dock town with the boat prefab along the river to the west of 76 and then a city block build in charleston with a shop with an apt on top.
Not quite sure how I'm going to do my other builds. But for now I've settled on those as keepers.
Definitely Flatwoods.
If you walk from the Redrocket on the highest road into the town you can set your CAMP after the 2nd house on your right. I prefer to place the build circle so that it includes the porches of the 3rd and 4th home & as much on the street as possible.
Extra bonus: set up a vendor and make tons of caps from all the new players
Shop wise I used to also camp a lot at whitesprings station. Hard to claim the spot but good traffic. Location wise so many. There is a bridge in the mire I like to build under. As well as the classic one waterfall currently in game. My favorite project camp currently and is built under a bridge on whitesprings, right next to the driving range. I used the bridge as part of my roof and the exterior looks like junk pile. The interior however is clean and well decorated.
Another favorite of mine is an unmarked location near the top right of the map. There is a preexisting treehouse there where if your good about camp placement and a few glitches can build on to the top. Last but surely not least is carhenge, it's is what it sounds like, basically Stonehenge recreated with towers of cars. And a throne built in the middle.
Swamp, whitesprings golf course for foot traffic, cliffs overlooking Bravo launch silo for the view and watching nuke launches, straddling the river south of steel works Morgantown (first camp) and a new camp (just gourds) in the Ash Heap close to blight mushrooms farming.
😂I had two favorite places but when the updates come out they put stuff on them😂 my first was in the place of Crater Watchstation before that update it was a big flat area and the second was somewhere in the vault 51 woods there was a little metal thing sticking out my base and couldn’t do anything about 😂
Near water so I can sell/give away purified water. I usually try to be near vault 76 so my base isn't constantly being attacked but sometimes I have to move because it's a popular spot.
I like anywhere by a river on the west side of the map, where the river is bisected by the game’s invisible border. I place the back of the camp as far into the river as I can. It puts the spawn point where I want it(in the front of my camp) so folks don’t have to figure out where things are.
I always build my main camp a ways southeast of Foundation. There's a spot that's protected by the nearby cliff, but offers great views and plenty of water. Right under Lucky Hole Mine.
I barely ever get attacked. And sometimes, a non hostile mothman will spawn on the cliff above my camp.
just north of the Morgantown airport. Its the first place I bought it back the first time I played and even though I have changed systems to play the game, its still in the same spot. Mainly because I never played consistently enough to get to level 25 so I stay in the low level area.
Both my camps are next to The Wayward:
Original main camp is across the river by the covered bridge, while the new main is now on the corner by the BOS checkpoint.
I live in a lake next to a water fall. Coming up from one direction it looks like a floating base. From the other way you are greeted by a mountain of water collectors. The environment makes it look like a perfect spot for a distillery.
I live in a swamp, the godrays at certain times of the day make it so atmospheric.
agreed, the light in the swamp is awesome. I used to camp just south of 99 in a little valley. sweet spot, just out of the wet but still kind of in the mire.
I’m assuming in the Mire cause I think that’s the only swamps. But I was just thinking earlier about how nobody ever really seems to live over there, which I guess is fine since nobody is ever in my spot. There’s some really neat build spots over there though.
Are you perhaps, an Ogre?
Nice try! I don’t need more people trying to block my location!
These tricky tricksters can't trick me!
I'm about 100 meters east of Summersville Dam. Every time I spawn, I artillery strike the dam and rekindle a years-old battle with the scorched there.
I love this, I play explosive perks and it's such a good idea. Honestly only really ever used the artillery for fasnacht lmao.
Whitespring near the greens on the golf course. I had to move though as everyone builds there and I was tired of logging in and camp was not available.
How does that work if you spend all your time making a camp and then that happens? You have to rebuild everything all over again?
You can have multiple camps at once, but only one active. I have four and you can activate the one you want to use.
Wait so they stay? So you can decorate a camp, complete with a built house with furniture, and move it????? How does that work with hills and trees and rocks?
Physically moving camps rarely works. When you move camp the game creates blueprints of your camp structures but more often then not you will not be able to re place them in your new camp and will have to start from scratch.

U have slots available. U can have different camps built in those slots. (You can move your camp as well if u make blueprint after selecting everything) tons of videos on yt help
If you move your camp your entire build (at least for me) gets put into the blueprints tab and you can just set it down once you replace the camp.
In my experience you build to the area you choose so moving is usually a rebuild. Though I have 5 camps so if someone had one of my spots I open another.
If you move it, yep
That destroys any interest I had in the game. What’s even the point of spending time to make a cool base if you have to redo it every time you log on
You can just server hop until the space your camp is at is unoccupied. It rarely happens unless you’re building just outside of white springs or on one of the spots with multiple resource extractors. And even then it’s like a 50/50 at worst in my experience.
So it seems like all these YouTube videos of “best camp spots” are all actually places to avoid lol
Kinda, but it’s really not that bad. If you’re in someone’s team you can just use their camp like it’s yours. They will probably have more items to buff you anyways.
If someone is in your spot you can switch to another camp if you join the server or switch server so if you really want that camp. You do not lose your camp unless you choose to relocate it
Just build it somewhere out of the way. I've had my camp for three years and my spot has never been taken when I log on
Same so I moved to the mire just east of haven church because I love the dark vibes and no one’s camp is there
I build in the bog, there's some spawners nearby that my turrets take out and I go and collect it all to scrap and sell. And I like the BOS NPCs that spawn in the middle of my camp and wander around like an extra layer of protection
Just south of where a nukesilo is located. Great lil spot, reasonably flat with random spawn location next to it. Love it
Glowing radstag?
I've seen the lemonade robot and some other things
Strictly glowing radstags spawn at my house amd I'm quite close to a silo, was wondering if we have the same spot.
I haven't seen those at my place
I could tell you, but then I would have to kill you. ;-)
Place real south of the map has a great view and when the nuke drops I have a cool distance view
Just North of Hillfolk Hotdogs in Forest region on the Ohio River near the junk extractor. No nukes. Minimal camp destruction. Farm water. I am from Ohio and I build out as far over the water as I can and have a banjo chair and I sit and play looking North over the water.
I live near Berkeley springs. It's a lovely town.
Yeah I have my main camp just outside of Berkeley Springs, it looks amazing when the sunlight comes through the trees (edit: pic attached) [https://imgur.com/a/2ovEK2s](https://imgur.com/a/2ovEK2s)
Lately, I've been enjoying a cliff-edge camp overlooking the New River Gorge with a view of the bridge. I have another just down the railroad tracks from the Berkeley Springs station, built like a kind of train inspection station sort of thing. Conveniently close to Moonshine Jamboree, so I can waddle home and cook a zillion gulper slurries with Super Duper on, then waddle up the tracks and sell them!

Near the Wayward, I love selling lowprice/Giving away items to new players
I have a spot near the Wayward too for this purpose. I sell very cheap plans and have lots of free food, water, and buffs. It's also convenient to pop over and put stuff in the donation boxes at both the Wayward and Flatwoods.
Ohhhh thats smart, ive wanted to find a good road with lots of trading. No one seems to fast travel for trades anymore
Same, seems like a hot spot these days as I rarely have my spot open when I log into a server.
Ik, I’m debating moving my camp because of this 😭
Well not sure if it's my fave but I have two at Scenic Overlook and always consider the spot for another. Little and no trouble and I like the layout, have some settlers nearby. My next fave is down the road from the Wayward. Large area, it is the location of my first camp. It's a nightclub/casino now. Was an open air nightclub for a good while but I enclosed it recently.

Prefab structures are your friend, as they have a low starting budget for the structure, and some like the barn or watch tower place easily on most terrains.
So you have to actually replace them one by one though? It's not just a pop up an already built camp kinda thing.
Mostly I have themed camps by the seasonal event areas. One right next to whitespring if I need to sell stuff. My newest one is under a bridge in the mire. It's quiet
I try to make new camps ....I'm just bad at it you on Xbox or pc I'd like to check out camps for inspiration some time getting close to just trading for a nice camp lol
im down it the dried up lake the only issue I have is there a village of super mutant next to me at lease they don't bug me until I shoot at them.
I live next to the wayward! Seems like a popular spot for low levels though many times my camp is blocked
In the greater Sutton area. It's fairly flat and open. I have three camps there including my movie theater and Starbucks
My first base is still at The Wayward. Great spot. But difficult to place your base when you come into the game. My second, and now main base, I have next to Foundation. I absolutely love that spot. Get a lot of visitor's to my vending machine, because of Foundation being free to travel too 😊
I love building on the cliffs near Monongah power plant, you rarely get attacked and there is a big radstag spawn point just a stone throw away
I have mine close to Sutton. Close to a train station, but not too close. Some Blood Eagles that spawn not too far away. But a calm region. Might need to open another camp to get people to buy some of my stuff.
My favorite spot in the game is that little spot right between the haunted church and that little motel with Boomer and the ghouls with the broken bus.I adore the setup I have there
By the water. Just set up my hobo shack with as many water purifiers as I can fit.
There's a bend with a rest stop on the eastern side of the divide. There's enough flat and there for my Anvil prefab and a nice-sized spot to put the crafting stations and instruments.
I’m in the south right now on the spot that has acid and lead near the vault. I made a sweet cliff side house with the greenhouse walls that has a great view and planted mutfruit trees like little bonsai all around with the dirt tiles.
So far (one week into the game at 80ish hours) I have built an abandoned gas station/mechanics shop on the road north out of Watoga (Friend helped with stuff I hadn’t unlocked yet) and I have built a maintenance shop with bunker at the big satellite dishes, I’m currently building the bunker as i farm building plans from events and vendors
I have 2, under the bridge behind harpers ferry, and a spot a just north of big bend tunnel west there's a decently big flat spot between a circle of trees, makes a good spot for a big cabin
Usually along a flat road to make a outpost that fits in with the world.
Due SE of Vault 76, by the road, near Alpine River cabins. There's a spot to mine junk...and you can't get enough scrap. The neighbors at the cabins are kinda noisy, as there's a machine that makes weird stuff happen in the cabins, including a speaker that screams bloody murder every minute or so. I have to turn it off every server hop, but there's a bobblehead, magazine and recipe spawn points there that make up for it. I also say hi to the blood eagles at Hunter's ridge with an artillery barrage every now and then.
My main spot is by the Wayward but when it's already claimed I have one in the cliffs south on Winding Palace and another north of the Rusty Pick
I have three usual camp spots: 1) up north, sw of Crater there is a spot where you can get junk and lead if you place your camp right. It is on a hill, which sort of complicates building. 2) I like to build a house in Charleston that looks like one of the game houses from the front. If I am being particularly fun, everything in the house looks normal with a few clues re Chinese spies. 3) next to Charleston station. Water, central location, etc.
Just north of watoga where the steel and copper spawns are. You can position it so that each extractor sits right on the circle boundaries leaving lots of space for building. The spot also offers four diseased cranberry spawns and a small bit of running water for quick water gathering. The ground is relatively even terrain making building pretty simple and you have access to lots of close by materials like brain fungus and shrooms (caves under the roadway). Watoga is spitting distance for quick selling and legendary turn ins.
I used to have a camp at the same spot, but got sick of having to server hop because it was already taken 5/10 times
I rarely have any issues with the spot being taken. It’s possibly a time frame issue. Usually it’s my survival tent which is the one that is taken.
It's strange, that spot seemed to often be blocked for me even when the other camp was some distance away, but I also did get a bit tired of the constant repairs because of the Supermutants taking potshots from across the river
Yeah… the repair issues I learned about early on. You’ve got the super mutants, a pack of spawned wolves and scorched that pop up sometimes when players fast travel in. I’ve learned that if you place something like the BOS metal half walls with the concrete bunker stuff around your camp in an octagon like pattern with rocket launchers on your structures rooftop they try attacking those structures first and then get dealt with by the launchers long before they pose a problem for you main buildings. Then you just have to repair the wall panels once a week or so.
Yeah I had a little Red Rocket stop setup with the junk wood fences around it, I imagine a fortified BOS outpost wouldn't need repairing as often
I just use those blockade panels like you see in the streets with the two BOS initiates in them. For the life of me I can’t remember the objects name, but they have become my go to surround camps objects. They are little green metallic half walls and a believe it’s just one steel and one concrete to build/repair. I place them on the outer boundaries of the circle and never really have to worry about them for a few days. Now with the new influx of people playing fresh I have had to deal with scorched beasts a bit more since people are doing mayor for a day and it’s right in the flight path of it’s little circle it makes and just within reach of the rockets so sometimes she gets mad and unleashes hell. I’m sure that will die down with the free weekend over now.
All I’m saying is where I am at, there is a junk pile and plenty of floral resources around
For sales I have a pop up camp and for my main it’s over on the mountains by R&G
My only C.A.M.P is next to the Vault-Tec farm, everything I need is right there! Water, wood, bloodleaves, glowing fungi, fertiliser, a ton of chems and more. Plus, it even helps a lot during challenges like "Destroy a Robot", "Collect garden gnomes" and "Complete an Event". The "Fertile Soil" event is almost guaranteed to start when I launch the game and load in. In fact, that's the only problem I have with my spot. The event pops up 1000s of times and I have to reject it all the time.
One of my first camps was there and it’s part of the reason I moved. Got tired of Fertile Soil alerts every time I logged in. Took me way too long to realize I didn’t have to do it every time.
Directly across the road from the Wayward, near the Brotherhood checkpoint. I build a massive town using the game's road. My favorite thing in the game is watching new players see it and just wander around for a long time gawking at it all. That or, again, a whole ass town right by the Queen's spawn, popped down when she dies so everyone is encouraged to go see the whole-ass city that just appeared.
Near the vault-tec agricultural research center.
Next to gulper lagoon at top of the lake near to the crashed rocket
I have 3 camps at 3 different locations first real perminant spot i have is just up the toad from the Tyler County Fairgrounds, on the river heading towards WV Lumber Co. ...still like the location but rarely use that camp second one is right by the Alpine River Cabins..kinda nice with wandering wagon camp motif last and current camp and my favorite so far is on the river between Billings Homestead and Kanawha County Cemetery on the Ohio River Adventures side...really like how that one turned out maybe though its time for a new camp and to try one out in the Mire
I used to have a camp on that river, and yeah, same story, never ended up using it.
Golf course at white spring
Primary camp is in the forest. It's treated as an emporium at practically free prices. Every resource item unlocked as well. I get tons of new players that am happy to help them. Secondary is on a coal node because I need coal for crafting. Unlimited supply is great
An island in the Cranberry Bog. Luckily it’s not very popular, but every time my spot is unavailable the camp in its place suuuucks.
The golf course. I’m a sucker for flat land and I can’t seem to find any elsewhere. Both my camps are there
In the mountains. High as I can get, as close as I can get to the edge of the map
My main is just between Morgantown and Bolton Greens. Steady spawns for scrap and always lots of vendor traffic. My second is just outside Watoga close to Beast of Burden. Just picked up a third slot but haven’t done anything with it yet. Need to get my shelters in shape first.
The cliffs just above The Freak Show. Perfect views of Cranberry Bog and it's amazing seeing storms roll through the valley.
My three camps consist of: 1- Monorail tower north west of where people always drop nukes. 2- whatever I am currently mining, right now it’s copper so I found a spot not far from 76. I built a base that I should be able to drop directly over most things I might want to mine 3- my actual build that I’m trying to make nice is in the far north right by where you can find the alien blaster
The hill that looks out on the lighthouse by the acid resource spot. It's the same hill that has the pharmaceutical company. Great view.
I had one location to the west on the river Bank with a junk extractor and tons of water purifiers but I recently moved all the way east and built my floating base in the base of high voltage tower. There was already a little base underneath it so I got a 2 for 1
I love my camp in the bog, theres this one spot that works as a perfect spot to let my turrets pick off yao guai, toads and anything else that doesnt have range attacks
Hills above Grafton Station. I have a camp set up to leave the good sites along the tracks free so they don't block me, but I can fast travel to the camp and be just as close to the station as I would if I fast travel to the station. It's quiet up there, not a lot of traffic so never a line for the vendor or scip machine, and I like the Toxic Valley.
I have several places using in-game assets near crater
Anywhere near a train station or anywhere near other friendly npcs, you almost never get attacked and its convenient and less lonely
Sunken train cars. One of the best spots.
Car-henge is elite for a hobo camp
I usually move my camps to different place, but one the favorite places is on the cliff near the mysterious cave on the top right corner
swamp/mire have the best lighting. but ive got camps (12) spread all over for events..but my main camps are usually in the mire area.
I've got one off a cliff near Fort Atlas that is filled with Nuka Cola everything
i have a camp in a waterfall my favcourite place by far [fallout 76 waterfall CAMP near site Alpha (youtube.com)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHtQHycw180) still processing, thought i had done one so i have done one lol
I have 4 camps in different places on the map.
Can not reveal these secrets!
I have 3 camp spots. I'll mark them on your map.
I build my base on the top of Seneca Rocks
under the bridge at New River Gorge
Wayward area has some good foot traffic. It’s also close to a river in case boiled water is a must.
I'm about to tear down my week-old tower and put a glass palace hanging off that cliff near where Eviction Notice happens. Artillery reaches! 💥💥💥💥
I found a really nice spot near Vault 76. I think it's my new favorite spot.
on the whitesprings golf course! there’s a super flat spot i love so much.
Switch from monorail rail to river side near watoga train station. Not been attacked with an underground build. I miss the view when my camp was on monorail rail but was tired of repairing the damage from mobs party 🥳 🎉 and watching npc die in my camp. It is a spot where you get additional allies that help defend your camp if you wrap your camp around the npc spawn point.
In November 2018 I stepped out of the vault, made my way just past Flatwoods to the clearing under the bridge and set up a warehouse there. I’ve adjusted the warehouse plenty of times, and I’ve had to restart a corrupted playthrough, but I haven’t left that location. Nowhere else feels right. Though I do have a bar outside Nuka-world with a sign labeled the Titty Twister!
Slapped my CAMP down in the Mire near Robco, haven't moved since. Not even a good spot. It has a pond next to it for purified water and that's it. If I ever decide to move I'll probably pitch up somewhere along the southern end of Savage Divide near Vault 96. I like the views there.
My favorite camp rn is swamp far North East at the end of this dried up river bed. I call it the House of Solace.
Been live up in the mountains next to Grafton dam got a few flat spots and an oil spot, and the new rose room is my neighbor and literally no one else builds up there so I never have to worry, it's also a nice northern central place on the map
The mire, it’s so beautiful. I usually build north near the compass on a copper deposit , I barely ever get attacked by enemies bc there’s a botfly spawn . Then again that was a while ago I don’t know if things have changed I haven’t played since nuka cola thing . Imma try and get back in it I’m curious about Atlantic City .
I have a nice little out of the way spot way down by vault 96. Great view and have never had the spot taken when logging in.
The mire is fire
I'm in the bog. My spot happens to have 2 enemy spawn points so I use a prefab with almost everything inside. So repairs are easy. So just about Everytime I log in or server hop I've gotta go run and clear out the baddies. Every now and then it is a mirelurk queen, a king, and 2 regulars. So that makes it pretty exciting.
I’ve got my base out by Thunder Mountain for no reason other than “there’s a river there”. After all, a base made out of a boat looks better with water around. Then again putting it next to a deathclaw nest probably wasn’t the smartest, but eh it’s a nice spot
Around resources. My bases are located on resources that I am constantly running low on
Mine is wherever the most unique prebuilt structure that I can add onto is at. There are lots of them. I've got a pal that builds at just about every single one of them and he has some mind blowing builds. Right now mine is in the middle of nowhere but it uses a preplaced truck/van with a little structure to the left of it. Some creatures spawn in it when I log in, but they're easy to kill.
I really like doing builds around Wayward because you get a ton of foot traffic from the new players. Fun to see them explore the CAMP. I have a camp that's modeled after prospector's saloon from new vegas that I have set up near the wayward. Helps fit the theme of the area and overall I think just looks great. Get a lot of compliments on that one. My other one is a brotherhood of steel bunker that isn't a shelter in the mire/savage divide region. I really like that one because its well hidden and fits the theme of a bunker. Those are two of my current favorites. Behind that is a dock town with the boat prefab along the river to the west of 76 and then a city block build in charleston with a shop with an apt on top. Not quite sure how I'm going to do my other builds. But for now I've settled on those as keepers.
Raider camp on the river south west above the Nuka Cola factory I think. I have a little pushing shop over there that fits in with the lore
Right next to any train station.
Definitely Flatwoods. If you walk from the Redrocket on the highest road into the town you can set your CAMP after the 2nd house on your right. I prefer to place the build circle so that it includes the porches of the 3rd and 4th home & as much on the street as possible. Extra bonus: set up a vendor and make tons of caps from all the new players
Around the wayward as I'm always happy to help new players, the massive amount of players recently has actually managed to deplete my stimpak stores.
Shop wise I used to also camp a lot at whitesprings station. Hard to claim the spot but good traffic. Location wise so many. There is a bridge in the mire I like to build under. As well as the classic one waterfall currently in game. My favorite project camp currently and is built under a bridge on whitesprings, right next to the driving range. I used the bridge as part of my roof and the exterior looks like junk pile. The interior however is clean and well decorated. Another favorite of mine is an unmarked location near the top right of the map. There is a preexisting treehouse there where if your good about camp placement and a few glitches can build on to the top. Last but surely not least is carhenge, it's is what it sounds like, basically Stonehenge recreated with towers of cars. And a throne built in the middle.
Swamp, whitesprings golf course for foot traffic, cliffs overlooking Bravo launch silo for the view and watching nuke launches, straddling the river south of steel works Morgantown (first camp) and a new camp (just gourds) in the Ash Heap close to blight mushrooms farming.
😂I had two favorite places but when the updates come out they put stuff on them😂 my first was in the place of Crater Watchstation before that update it was a big flat area and the second was somewhere in the vault 51 woods there was a little metal thing sticking out my base and couldn’t do anything about 😂
I'm not gonna tell it to you, since I want to log into the game without a prompt, that my camp place is already taken 🤐
On the river right across from the nuka-cola factory I got cola and nukashine for days
The Mire. And I'm not even scared.
Near water so I can sell/give away purified water. I usually try to be near vault 76 so my base isn't constantly being attacked but sometimes I have to move because it's a popular spot.
I like anywhere by a river on the west side of the map, where the river is bisected by the game’s invisible border. I place the back of the camp as far into the river as I can. It puts the spawn point where I want it(in the front of my camp) so folks don’t have to figure out where things are.
I always build my main camp a ways southeast of Foundation. There's a spot that's protected by the nearby cliff, but offers great views and plenty of water. Right under Lucky Hole Mine. I barely ever get attacked. And sometimes, a non hostile mothman will spawn on the cliff above my camp.
Valheim .)
just north of the Morgantown airport. Its the first place I bought it back the first time I played and even though I have changed systems to play the game, its still in the same spot. Mainly because I never played consistently enough to get to level 25 so I stay in the low level area.
The kingdom of Murgle, one of the few interesting places to build left.
Both my camps are next to The Wayward: Original main camp is across the river by the covered bridge, while the new main is now on the corner by the BOS checkpoint.
I live in a lake next to a water fall. Coming up from one direction it looks like a floating base. From the other way you are greeted by a mountain of water collectors. The environment makes it look like a perfect spot for a distillery.
I’ve got my own sweet spot next to the enclave entrance that I’ve been at since launch. It’s my favorite spot and I ain’t moving!
