This guide is your compass, leading you to our handpicked favourite spots and the best camp locations in Fallout 76.
With the vast map of Appalachia filled with different POIs and areas rich with specific resources, knowing where to set up your camp and build your base in Fallout 76 is a difficult decision for new players.
For those who have recently ventured into the world of Fallout 76 and are in search of the perfect spots to erect their base, fear not.
Best camp locations in Fallout 76 to set up
The locations we have chosen as the best spots to set up your camp and build a base around it in Fallout 76 are based on unique locations, access points, nearby resources and POIs and other such factors.
Best camp locations in Fallout 76 — Seneca Rocks
Seneca Rocks is almost at the center of the game’s map, making it an ideal location to build your base and access every other POI for fewer Caps and the best scenic view of the entire map.
We recommend building a base at the top of the mountain, as you see in the above screenshot.
Best camp locations in Fallout 76 — Summersville Lake
Summersville Lake is the best location for new players to build their base as they get a flat surface, access to water, and Lakeside Cains Workshops for farming resources like Lead, Crystal, Wood, Water, Silver, and Food.
Moreover, it is also near two major XP and resource farming POIs, New Gad and Summersville, where players can farm enemies like Super Mutants and Raiders for weapons, scrap them for resources, or sell them at Train Stations for Caps.
Best camp locations in Fallout 76 — Lake Eloise Fissure Site
Lake Eloise is the ammo farming base location for players willing to take risks. While I had my base at Seneca Rocks, I built my friend’s base in Lake Eloise from top to bottom of the mountain, giving a gorgeous view of Lake Eloise and access to two of the critical resources in the game: Lead and Acid.

A Lead deposit is found at the top of the mountain and an Acid deposit at the bottom, inside the cave. The best way to build a base is to place the camp device in the middle of the mountain.
Best camp locations in Fallout 76 — East Ridge Lookout
East Ridge Lookout or areas like The Retreat are the best base locations for players looking for a dark and gloomy place to settle down.
Moreover, players also access Workshops like the Red Rocket Mega Shop for resources like Almunium, Nuclear, Junk, Food, Steel and Water and Thunder Mt. Power Plant Yard for resources like Power Core and others.
That sums up our guide on the best camp locations in Fallout 76.
