Camps are facilities you can fast travel to and enter to manage items, change equipment, and more. Towns are special as they contain several more NPCs where you can buy items or upgrade gear.

Pop-up camps are mobile camps you can build around the locale with a maximum of four at a time. These camps, if spotted by an agitated monster can be destroyed. The safer the location is, the less likely this is to happen.
