The Forest – The Best Location for Creating a Safe Camp

by Falagar / Articles, Misc. Guides / 13 May 2018

This spot is the best location for creating a safe camp away from cannibals and mutants.

What You Need To Know

This spot is an excellent place to set up camp. Having survived there for over 30 days and counting, I’ve had no problems with Cannibals or Mutants.

Where Is It?

You can find this spot just off the coast, ideally situated between two of the key areas on the Island.

How To Make This Camp Work

To make the camp work, you will need to know the limitations of being on a smaller island.

What resources does it have in abundance?

-Rocks

-Small Rocks

-Turtles

-Birds

-Fish

In addition to that, this particular area seems to get rain fairly often. However, like most places in-game, it can go through some dry patches.

The abundance of food makes this camp a dream since you’re not going to need to resort to cannibalism at any point. This protects your sanity and allows you, in general, to survive longer since you aren’t progressively creating more aggro mobs.

The benefit of surviving the first 30+ days is the increases you’ll get in your Strength & Athleticism stats, making completing the game a lot easier. Or just generally dealing with mobs in caves a lot easier.

How to overcome the lack of certain resources

There’s no way around the fact that you’re going to need to bring logs and sticks to the island on a raft.

You can use a small raft initially, but eventually, you’ll want to build your way up to using larger rafts. These rafts offer you more opportunities to build more log holders and stick holders.

This is the most challenging aspect of this spot since it’s very time-consuming. That being said, it’s worth the safety you’ll have for the effort.

Getting Around

You need rafts to get around; swimming to and from shore isn’t only energy inefficient, but there are sharks in this area.

This camp is near at least four caves, all within a 5-minute travel time. Additionally, there is access nearby to great hunting areas for Boar, Deer, and Rabbits. Lizards are generally found all over the island, but you can find these nearby as well.

The safest spot in the game for those who want to play the long game, or simply those who want to survive while still having Cannibals enabled in the game.
