Unlock all pop up camps in Monster Hunter Wilds with this complete guide. Find locations, unlock tips, and fast travel benefits.
Have you ever been deep in the Ancient Forest with a bag of monster parts and then learned that your next quest goal was kilometers away? Same thing here. During one of those long, exhausting hikes, I decided that I was going to really work on unlocking every pop-up camp in Monster Hunter: World. Let me tell you, it changed everything. If you’re tired of going back and forth and wasting time when hunting, this guide is for you. Let’s get going!
What You'll Discover:
Why Pop-Up Camps Are Important
First, let’s talk about why you should care about pop-up camps. Picture this: You’re chasing a Rathalos that keeps getting away, and just as you’re about to hit it, it flies halfway across the map. If there isn’t a camp nearby, you’ll have to go through perilous areas, avoiding Jagras and hoping you have enough vitality left. But what if there was a camp close by? Boom, quick trip, restock, and you’re ready to go again.
Unlocking pop-up camps can turn a tedious journey into a seamless wild adventure. You need all pop-up camps in Monster Hunter Wilds to stay alive. They are set up so that you may get to essential areas faster. After you unlock them, they stay as fast-travel points. You will be thankful afterward.
How to Start Pop-Up Camps
It’s not as easy as just finding camps to open them. You have to:
- Find out where the camp is: Look at the map until you find a good spot to set up camp. These are often buried in places that aren’t very obvious, so check for spots that look like they could be used but aren’t.
- Finish the Delivery Quest: After you find a camp, you need to head back to Astera and finish a special delivery order. This usually involves receiving stuff like Monster Bone S or Vespoid Carapaces.
Don’t worry; I’ll help you with all of the camps below.
Camps in the Ancient Forest by Area
The Ancient Forest is a big, beautiful jungle that is hard to travel around in. You should open these camps:
1. Camp Southwest (1)
You can start this camp right away.
Why It’s Helpful: Your home base for the Ancient Forest. It’s close to the main gathering areas and the forest’s entrance.
2. Camp in the Northeast (11)
It’s close to Area 11. Follow the trail up the vines that are close to Area 6.
To open it, you need to bring one Ancient Bone and one Monster Bone S.
I accidentally spotted this camp while getting away from an angry Anjanath. Don’t be like me; plan your vacation and bring climbing gear (figuratively speaking).
3. Camp Northwest (8)
Near Area 8, next to the Rathalos nest, is where it is.
To unlock: Bring one Mastodon Shell and two Monster Bone S.
Why It’s Useful: It’s great for aiming at Rathalos and other flying creatures.
Camps in the Wild Spire Waste
Deserts and wetlands are what the Wildspire Waste is all about. Fast-travel points are a huge help because jogging on the sand is not fun.
1. Southwest Camp (1)
Location: By default, it’s open.
Why It’s Useful: This is where you start all of your tasks in this area.
2. Central Camp (6)
Location: Close to Area 6, where the swamp and desert meet.
To unlock, you need to bring in one herbivore egg.
Personal Tip: Carrying an egg while avoiding monsters is really painful! What do I think? First, get rid of any close hazards.
3. Camp Northeast (15)
Location: Close to Area 15 and the Barroth’s stomping grounds.
How to Unlock: Bring 2 Vespoid Carapaces and 1 Monster Bone M.
Why It’s Useful: It’s a great place to hunt Diablos or meet up in the upper desert area.
Camps in the Coral Highlands
The Coral Highlands are beautiful, but they can be hard to get around without camping since they are so steep.
1. Camp in the Southwest (1)
Location: Unlocked automatically.
2. Northeast Camp (12)
Near Area 12, high up in the coral structures.
How to Unlock: Bring 2 Shamos Hides and 1 Monster Bone M.
Why It’s Helpful: Makes it easy to get to Legiana hunting areas.
Camps in Rotten Vale
Ah, the Rotten Vale, a horrible place filled with poisonous fumes and disgusting crawlies. You have to have camps here.
1. Southeast Camp (1)
Location: Unlocked by itself.
2. Central Camp (11)
Location: Inside a cave, close to Area 11.
To unlock: Bring 2 Girls Hides and 1 Monster Bone M.
Personal tip: The Girls won’t stop, so carry antidotes and cleanse the area before you start harvesting items.
Camps for Elder’s Recess
Finally, the Elder’s Break. Some of the game’s toughest monsters live in this volcanic area.
1. Southern Camp (1)
Location: Unlocked by default.
2. Eastern Camp (8)
Location: Close to Area 8, amid the volcanic caves.
How to Unlock: Give 2 Doregama Hides and 1 Monster Bone+.
Why It’s Useful: It’s important to be able to quickly get to Nergigante and other Elder Dragons.
How to Find and Open Camps
- Look around carefully: Camps are often located off the beaten path. Look for places that appear out of place, such as vines to climb or tiny corridors.
- Mark Locations: Use your map to mark potential camp spots so you can revisit them later.
- Prepare for Deliveries: Always keep a variety of crafting materials on hand, as you never know what’ll be required.
My Journey to Unlocking All Camps
Unlocking all pop up camps in Monster Hunter Wilds was a game-changer for me, but it didn’t come without challenges. I still remember my first attempt to deliver a Herbivore Egg in the Wild Spire Waste. Imagine me, dodging Jagras, fumbling the egg after a misstep, and yelling at my screen. It took three tries, but the sense of triumph when I finally succeeded? Unmatched.
Each camp I unlocked felt like a mini victory. The thrill of discovering a hidden path, the relief of finding a camp near a monster’s lair, and the sheer convenience of fast travel made every effort worth it.
