Summary
There are many great places to build inFallout 76. From large open areas to places with existing structures that players can incorporate into their builds, there are options to suit everyone. While selecting the perfect place to build can feel like a big decision, players can now build more than one CAMP.
Players often choose to have a CAMP build set up in several locations. That way, if one location is occupied on a particular server, they can simply activate another one. Building plays a big part in the world ofFallout 76. Players love coming up with new and creative builds to show off to other wastelanders.
Updated June 30, 2025 by Benjamin Joe:The building community in Fallout 76 is a strong one. Many players enjoy playing the game with the sole objective of creating as many unique CAMPs as possible. With the inclusion of the Best Builds feature, players can now put their creations forward for others to visit and rate. Thankfully, there are plenty of great options when it comes to build areas.
While the original list has some fantastic locations, there are a few more that deserve a mention. This update will add three new entries: the area near Vault 76, fixed seasonal event locations, and the area surrounding the Gleaming Depths.
Receives Plenty Of Player Traffic
Competition For Building In This Area Can Be High
Vault 76 is where all players will begin their journey. This iconic area is a place that many newer players visit regularly. This is because Vault 76 is a free fast travel point.Players who opt to build here can take advantage of the constant stream of players who regularly use Vault 76 to save Caps on travel.While some of the terrain is a bit tricky to build on, the overall lack of enemies makes the area a relatively peaceful place to call home.
High-level players may want to build somewhere further down the map, but for low to mid-level players, the area around Vault 76 can be a viable place to set up shop.
Great For Making Caps During Limited-Time Events
Limited CAMP Placement Options For Most Fixed Event Locations
There are a fair fewlimited-time events that take place throughout the year. While some of them span across the whole map, others are concentrated around one specific location.Events like Fasnacht and Meat Week have fixed locations, meaning that at the top of every hour, players will flock to the area to take part in the event.
Usually, there are a few minutes before one of these events will actually start, making these areas perfect for making some Caps sales from bored wastelanders. Also, for those who enjoy building CAMPs that match their environment, seasonal events are perfect for getting creative and coming up with a base that fits in with what’s going on nearby.
Lots Of High-Level Players Frequent This Area
It’s A High-Level Area. Player CAMPs May Get Attacked Often
The Nearby Glow Of The Gleaming Depths Has A Unique Appearance
The Area Around The Gleaming Depths Is Pretty Rocky And Can Be Tricky To Build On
Fallout 76’smost recent update introduced players to the Gleaming Depths. This game mode is by far the hardest thing the developers have put in the game. Players need to make their way through severalincredibly challenging Raidsto walk away with the best loot. Because of its difficulty, many high-level players flock to this area to test their skills.
This makes the area around the Gleaming Depths ideal for those looking to make some extra money. High-level players usually have a few Caps saved up, meaning that it’s pretty easy to rack up some decent sales by building in this area. Also, because of the green glow that comes from the Gleaming Depths, it gives the whole area an interesting yet creepy vibe that can make builds feel pretty cool.
Players Can Fall Off And Die Easily
Very Few Players Build Here
Not Many Resources
There is a beautiful Seneca Rock Cabin and a Pleasant Valley Cabin across the Seneca Rock Bridge. The building of the bridge shows how unique the Appalachian scenery is.The Seneca Rock Bridge’s high location makes it safer from attacks from below. One thing that stands out is how beautiful and useful the area is.
Because the place is so famous, it draws various threats. But, by building high up, players aren’t likely to encounter much enemy interference. Players can get water from the Seneca Rock Bridge, it’s easy to defend, and it’s a good spot to be able tofast travel to for free.
Plenty of Resources
Not Much Here For High-Level Players
InFallout 76, theMorgantown Trainyard Camp is great because it has everything players will need. The camp is west of the trainyard, in the Appalachian Forest. There are some resources in the area, making it a good place to build for lower-level players.
It’s quite close to a few notable locations which makes it ideal for those who don’t have a lot of Caps. Fast traveling can be quite costly for new players. So, having a CAMP set up near key travel points can help players hang on to their hard-earned Caps.
Not A Lot of Enemies Around
The Nearby Sensor Can Interfere With Building
The Noose Tree camp has a horror movie feel.The environment shows the remains of a skeleton with an eerie beauty.Survivors like this place because it has a unique, spooky atmosphere with a sense of disturbed beauty.
The area is flat, which makes it easy for players to build up their base in any direction. The view of the area is breathtaking. The great views and the lonesome hanging noose make this the perfect place for a Halloween-themed build. The only major downside of this area is that it isn’t a high-traffic location, meaning that players may struggle to get visitors.
Allows Players To Build Fun And Unique Bases
Open Landscape
Gets Attacked Fairly Frequently
The Mole Miner Tunnel is a fairly unique place to build. The cool, open landscape is a big draw for players. The underground tunnels help to add more depth to a player’s base. By building here, it is easy to create an immersive base that fits in with its surroundings.
The interconnected caverns make the area safer from attacks.The camp has a lot of useful things that bring out the beauty of the area.To get around well in the underground tunnels as players, they will need to plan their camp perfectly.
Good Location For Free Fast Travel
Not The Best Views
Another great camp option is the EL-B1-02 Relay Tower. The flat ground, drinking water, food, and ability to protect against battle or existing threats make the camp stand out.This location generally brings in wandering creatures and players.
The EL-B1-02 Relay Tower has good visibility of surrounding areas but is also open to threats. Protecting the CAMP is fairly straightforward, especially with a few well-placed turrets.
A Decent Amount of Player Traffic
Not Ideal For Low-Level Players
InFallout 76, the Lake on the Mountain is a famous and peaceful place to camp. At the same time,enemies don’t spawn all that often.However, when they do, they tend to be pretty tough enemies. Because of this, it may not be the best place for low-level players to set up CAMP.
Wanderers can find a balance between peace and the constant risks in theFallout 76world by setting up camp near the lake on the mountain. It’s a great place to build a waterside base.
Not A Lot of Players Build Here
Not A Lot of Player Traffic
By heading a little north of Greg’s Mine Supply, players will find a fairly large area in the forest with very few obstructions.This area is good for building on flat ground.That said, it doesn’t come without its drawbacks.
Attacks tend to happen fairly frequently around this area. Although, it’s worth noting that the enemies typically aren’t that difficult to deal with. Since it is a large forest area, it’s easy and fun to build a camouflage-style base that fits neatly into the landscape.
Alternatively, players can use the road that runs through this region to build their own diner or shopping center that fits neatly into the surrounding area.
