Fallout 76: 6 Best CAMP Locations In The Cranberry Bog

Post-war Appalachia isn’t the most welcoming of places. That said, there are plenty of places where the player can settle down in relative peace. Fallout 76‘s C.A.M.P. building feature is popular among all types of gamers. Whether the player wants to pop down a couple of prefabs and fill the interior or create a detailed base from scratch, there are plenty of options to choose from.

The Cranberry Bog region is one of the more hostile areas in Fallout 76. With Scorchbeasts flying around the place, hostile robots, and lots of other aggressive enemies, players may wonder if there are any relatively safe places to build in this region. While there are no places that are 100% free from enemy interference, there are a few relatively peaceful locations where players can set up shop.

6 Flooded Trainyard

A Surprisingly Calm Area

• Plenty Of Open And Flat Space
• Not Many Enemies

If the player heads slightly east of the Flooded Trainyard, they will come across a fairly flat open area that is perfect for building. While it does have a few trees and a few dips in the ground, all things considered, this is relatively clear when compared to many other C.A.M.P. locations in this region.

Not only is it relatively flat, but players shouldn’t encounter too much enemy interference if they decide to build here. Also, since it’s just a stone’s throw away from the Snallygasters that inhabit the Flooded Trainyard, it’s a very handy location to have access to when completing challenges that require the player to kill Cryptids.

5 Drop Site V9

A Front Row Seat To The Scorchbeast Queen

• Close Proximity To The Scorched Earth Event
• Plenty Of Player Traffic

Fallout 76‘s first boss battle is a very popular event that sees most players from any given server traveling to join in the battle whenever somebody launches a nuke over Fissure Site Prime. Provided the player places their C.A.M.P. behind Drop Site V9, their base should remain untouched by any nukes that have been set to detonate in this area.

The main reason why this is among the best places to build in the Cranberry Bog region is how much player traffic comes through the area. When Scorched Earth has been triggered, since most of the players on the server will flock to Drop Site V9, any player with a C.A.M.P. in the area will get an influx of visitors. This is great for those keen traders who are looking to sell items in their C.A.M.P. Vendors.

4 Firebase Hancock

A Great View Of Sparse Sundew Grove

• Not A Lot Of Players Build Here
• Very Little Competition

The area south of Firebase Hancock is often overlooked as a viable build location. While the player will encounter some enemy interference here, it’s more than worth it for the great views of the nearby Sparse Sundew Grove. Gamers often overlook this area, which makes it an ideal place to call home, as the player is unlikely to load into a world only to be greeted with the “CAMP Can’t Be Placed” message.

Here’s what the best spots for a camp are in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Fallout 76, and what their pros and cons are.

The area is relatively clear of obstructions, which makes building here pretty easy. Whether the player wants to put together a couple of prefabs or build something more elaborate, there’s enough space to incorporate most build ideas.

3 Sacramental Glade

A Great Open Clearing

• Lots Of Open, Flat Land
• The Area Rarely Gets Attacked By Enemies

Sacramental Glade isn’t as popular as it used to be. However, despite having gone through a drastic change during the Once In A Blood Moon update, it is still a good area to build near. While there are lots of enemies within the location itself, if the player heads slightly east of Sacramental Glade, then they’ll come across a large open clearing that is perfect for building.

The enemies that inhabit Sacramental Glade typically won’t venture out far enough to attack any C.A.M.P.s that are placed nearby, making it a great and peaceful location to call home. The area to the east is open and pretty flat, providing players with a blank canvas where they can show off their creative builds.

2 Kerwood Mine

A Clifftop Retreat

• Great Views Of Cranberry Bog
• Natural Pathways That Can Be Included Into Any Build

Kerwood Mine is located on the border between the Savage Divide and the Cranberry Bog. What makes this place so great is the views it offers. If the player makes their way behind the mine, then there are plenty of cliff edges where they can build a base that won’t get a lot of enemy visitors.

There are hiking trails on top of the mine that are free from most obstructions. Also, it is possible to place a C.A.M.P. in such a way that grants the player a stunning view of the whole Cranberry Bog region.

1 Veiled Sundew Grove

Build Along A Main Road

• A Pre-Existing Structure
• A Flat Road That Is Great For Building

Veiled Sundew Grove has a lot going for it when it comes to build options. There is an abandoned home nearby that players can build within. This is great for those who enjoy incorporating existing structures into their builds. Also, Veiled Sundew Grove is right by a main road. This road has lots of space for gamers to build. Players may need to place down a few turrets, as there are a couple of possible enemy spawn points nearby. However, there are also some friendly NPC spawn points, which can help to give the player’s base a ‘lived-in’ feel.

With a bit of work, it’s possible to create a truck-stop style C.A.M.P. that players can visit to browse C.A.M.P. vendors. With the introduction of player-made caravans coming to the game, truck-stop-style builds are going to become increasingly popular as players enjoy creating builds that allow for immersive gameplay.
