What to Do if Your Camp is Destoyed

Wait for It to be Automatically Repaired

Destroyed Pop-Up Camps automatically get repaired after a certain amount of time. If you don't have anything urgent to do, head somewhere else and wait for the camp to be repaired.

Instantly Repair with Research Points

If you want to repair a Pop-Up Camp right away, head to its location and ask the Palico next to the camp to repair it immediately. This will use Research Points, but you can use it as a camp without having to wait.

Cannot be Repaired with Monsters Nearby

If there are monsters nearby, the Palico will not appear and the camp cannot be repaired. If you defeat the monsters or drive them away with a Dung Pod, the Palico will appear to repair it.

Remove & Build Somewhere Else

If you don't need the destroyed Pop-Up Camps, you can just remove it. If removed, the amount of points required to build the camp in the same location will increase until a certain period of time has passed.

Rebuild in a Safe Location

If you do not want your camp to be destroyed, it's recommended to avoid building it in a location deemed 'insecure' or 'dangerous'. Remove the camps that are frequently destroyed and no longer unusable, and then move it to a safe location.

How to Set Up Camp

Go to the Site and Use the Camping Kit

Pop-Up Camps can be set up by going to the proposed camp site and using the "Camping Kit". You can only place up to 4 Pop-Up Camps, so it's recommended placing them in a location that will be useful to use as a base.

Removing Camps

Pop-Up Camps can be removed by talking to the Palico found next to the camp. The Palico can only remove the camp in that spot, so you will have to travel there.

Pop-Up Camp - How to Return/Fast Travel

PS Controller Keyboard/Mouse

Method 1	Select from Fast Travel List ➡ ➡ Choose Destination ➡
Method 2	Select a Fast Travel Point on the Map ➡ Hover Over Destination ➡

Method 1	Select from Fast Travel List M → A or D → F → Choose Destination → F
Method 2	Hover Over a Fast Travel Destination on the Map & Select It M → Place Cursor on Destination → F

On the Map screen, open the Fast Travel destination list and select either the Base Camp or a Pop-Up Camp to return easily. You can also Fast Travel by moving the cursor directly over the camp icon on the map.

Set a Waypoint

If you set the camp icon as a Waypoint on the Map, you can return using Seikret's auto-movement. However, you need to ride the Seikret to the destination, so it will take longer than using Fast Travel. This method is useful if you want to gather materials on your way back or if you wish to pass some time.
