Monster Hunter World: All Camp Locations

There are 15 Monster Hunter World Camp Locations. Each map has 2-4 camps, there are 5 maps in total. Camps are used for fast travel and as respawn points when you faint. Unlocking them early will save you a lot of walking later on, so getting them should be your first priority when reaching a new area.

To unlock the camp location you must first find it and then complete its delivery quest in Astera’s Research Center. Finding the camps is the tricky part because the game does not show them on the map and doesn’t even tell you they exist. All camps are in quiet places far away from monsters. You will have to stray from the main path to find them. They tend to be on the outer edges of the map, inside caves or up high where no monsters can reach.

When you find a campsite your buddy, “The Handler” will make an audio comment saying that this looks like a good campsite. Then you must head back to Astera and talk to the NPC at the research center to view delivery quests. All those quests are called “Setting up Camp”. You must bring 2 unique items to the Research Center to complete the quest and unlock the camp.

The Ancient Forest Camp (17) is quite tricky to find. It’s at the very top of the tree. If you chase after the Grimalkyne up there (which is marked on the map) you’ll run into it automatically.
