Fallout 76: Best Camp Locations

April 18, 2024

In Fallout 76, picking the right place to camp is very important for staying alive. Every campsite in Fallout 76 has its own set of difficulties and benefits. In Fallout 4, the materials that can be used to build a settlement depend on where the players are.

2024 is arguably going to be one of the biggest years ever for Fallout 76, so players won’t want to miss what the game has in store for the year.

In Fallout 76, finding the right spot is important for surviving post-apocalyptic West Virginia. Picking the best campsite is an art that relies on the level, the way the player plays, and the resources they need. Deciding on a campsite boosts confidence and makes the game more fun.

Updated on April 18, 2024, By Benjamin Joe: A lot has changed in Appalachia over the past couple of years. There are new locations, new enemies, and lots of new quests. Because of this, it seems like a good time to update this piece with the hottest spots to settle down and build a base. The CAMP system has come a long way since the game’s launch. There are now lots of ready-made prefabs and decorative items that players can use to create bases that are unique and immersive. With the recent influx of new players, it can be difficult to find a place to build a base that isn’t already being used by countless other players. With that in mind, this article aims to teach players all there is to know about the best spots to build in Fallout 76.

Pros	Cons
Stunning Landscape	A Tricky Location To Build In
Little To No Enemy Interference	Players Can Spawn Under The Base
It’s A Large Area To Build	Players Can Fall Off And Die Easily

There is a beautiful Seneca Rock Cabin and a Pleasant Valley Cabin across the Seneca Rock Bridge. The building of the bridge shows how unique the Appalachian scenery is. The Seneca Rock Bridge’s high location makes it safer from attacks from below. One thing that stands out is how beautiful and useful the camp is.

Newcomers to Bethesda’s Fallout 76 should consider the following excellent beginner perks.

Because the place is so famous, it draws various threats. But, by building high up, players aren’t likely to encounter much enemy interference. Players can get water from the Seneca Rock Bridge, it’s easy to defend, and it’s a good spot to be able to fast travel to for free.

9 Morgantown Trainyard

Resource-rich Industrial Center With The Ability To Create Strategic Defenses

Plenty of Resources	Not Much Here For High-Level Players

In Fallout 76, the Morgantown Trainyard Camp is great because it has everything players will need. The camp is west of the trainyard, in the Appalachian Forest. There are some resources in the area, making it a good place to build for lower-level players.

From where the camp is, it’s easy to get to Morgantown. This access lets players deal with and get along with other survivors in the trainyard. The Morgantown Trainyard’s main goal is to find a balance between the resources that are available and the risks that could come from enemies.

Pretty Flat Terrain For Building	Not A Lot of Player Traffic

The Noose Tree camp has a horror movie feel. The environment shows the remains of a skeleton with eerie beauty and hanging nooses all around it. Survivors like this place because it has a unique, spooky atmosphere with a sense of nostalgia.

Each faction in Fallout 4 has different, awesome quests. These are the best ones across the board.

In the camp, the toxic valley makes things hard for the players. The camp is flat, which makes it easy for players to build up their base in any direction. The Noose Tree is one of the best camps in Fallout 76 because it’s close to a lot of loot and supplies.

Pros	Cons
Lots of Players Travel Through This Region	Lots of Other Players Build Here
A Fairly Flat Landscape	Prone To Enemy Attacks
Good Location For Free Fast Travel	Not The Best Views

Another great camp option is the EL-B1-02 Relay Tower. The flat ground, drinking water, food, and ability to protect against battle or existing threats make the camp stand out. This location generally brings in wandering creatures and players.

The EL-B1-02 Relay Tower has good visibility of surrounding areas but is also open to threats. Protecting the CAMP is fairly straightforward, especially with a few well-placed turrets.

Pros	Cons
Fun For A Water Build	Building on Water Can Be Tricky
Plenty of Resources	The Potential For Tough Enemy Attacks
A Decent Amount of Player Traffic	Not Ideal For Low-Level Players

In Fallout 76, the Lake on the Mountain is a famous and peaceful place to camp. At the same time, enemies don’t spawn all that often. However, when they do, they tend to be pretty tough enemies. Because of this, it may not be the best place for low-level players to set up CAMP.

Wanderers can find a balance between peace and the constant risks in the Fallout 76 world by setting up camp near the lake on the mountain. There are various stories and conspiracies in Fallout 76 surrounding the Lake on the Mountain.

4 North of Greg’s Mine Supply

An Ideal Mid-Level Building Location

Pros	Cons
The Forest Region is Aesthetically Pleasing	Not A Lot Here For High-Level Players
Lots of Flat Land	Attacks Can Happen Fairly Frequently
Not A Lot of Players Build Here	Not A Lot of Player Traffic

By heading a little north of Greg’s Mine Supply, players will find a fairly large area in the forest with very few obstructions. This area is good for building on flat ground. That said, it doesn’t come without its drawbacks.

Attacks tend to happen fairly frequently around this area. Although, it’s worth noting that the enemies typically aren’t that difficult to deal with. Since it is a large forest area, it’s easy and fun to build a camouflage-style base that fits neatly into the landscape.

Alternatively, players can use the road that runs through this region to build their own diner or shopping center that fits neatly into the surrounding area.

3 New Gad

A Dried-Up Lake Filled With Super Mutants

Pros	Cons
Lots of Water	Frequent Super Mutant Attacks
A Good Free Central Fast Travel Location	Aside From Water, Not A Lot of Resources
A Lot of Flat Land	Can Be Seen As A Bit Boring

This Super Mutant-infested area is a great place to build for those players who enjoy lots of plain, flat land that they can build off. Since there are lots of prefabs that players can place, New Gad is a great place to build for players who like to build their bases quickly.

While the Super Mutants tend to attack pretty often, a few strategically placed turrets should take care of them. Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of resources around, aside from water sources. So, for players who love resource-rich areas, it may be best to pick another location.

2 North of Whitespring Station

One of The Most Popular Build Locations

Pros	Cons
Lots of Player Traffic	Quite A Lot of Competition For Build Space
Attacks Aren’t Very Frequent	There Are Already Free Fast Travel Points Nearby
The Train Track Can Be Incorporated Into The Build	Not A Lot of Large Structures To Incorporate Into A Build

The area around Whitespring Station is one of the most popular places to build in all of Fallout 76. Lots of players use The Whitespring Station as a central trading post, making this area a great place to get lots of visitors to a player’s base.

While the competition is fierce, it is worth having at least one CAMP in this location. Since Fallout 76 gave players the ability to own more than one CAMP, it is now much easier to handle loading into a world and finding out that your CAMP spot has been taken.

With it being a central point on the map, it is a great location to set up shop and sell items to other players.

A Very Popular Place To Call Home

A Very Popular Place For Players To Visit	Lots of Players Build Here
Whitespring Robots Can Help Ward off Enemies	High Chance of Enemy Attacks
Lots of Flat Land	Not A Lot of Resources
Nice Views of Pre-War Appalachia	Players Often Nuke This Area

Whitespring Golf Course is in the Whitespring area of Fallout 76. This camp costs a lot and has a nice view of the scenery. The best thing about the Whitespring Golf Course is also how safe it is. People are drawn to the camp’s central location, which has become very famous.

The previous inhabitants can cause issues, but there is a team of Whitespring Robots that do their best to handle any unruly Ghouls. That said, this probably isn’t the best location to build for low-level players, as they will find themselves getting attacked fairly frequently.
