Camp Camus is a large summer campground deep in Doe Valley Forest, in the northwest of Knox Country. The visitor map calls it Camp Camus, while the signs at the site name it Camp Busy Beaver.
The camp is a sprawl of buildings spread through the woods. A ranger's cabin runs the grounds, and sets of cabins, a canteen, storage sheds and a classroom stand along a river. A lone cabin sits further north beside a stream.
Survivors come here for a mix of food, medicine, tools, materials and camping gear, all found far from the crowds of any town. The camp sits in the Deerhead Lake district of the forest, reached by long dirt roads. That makes it one of the most remote places in Knox Country to loot or to settle.
Camp Camus Layout
The main office is a two story ranger's cabin with a medical room, storage and a kitchen. Beside it are a picnic area, a small tool shed and a lodge.
The living quarters are sets of cabins split into two sections, with a large central building used as a lodge and bathhouse. Closer to the river stand the canteen, the counselor cabin, the classroom and the storage buildings.
The northern cabin stands alone by a stream, with picnic tables, a campfire and a latrine outside.
Deerhead Lake and the rest of Doe Valley Forest lie to the southwest. Meadshire Estate is also to the southwest. Coalfield is to the west.

Possible Loot Items in Camp Camus
The ranger's cabin is the richest building, with food, medicine, tools, materials and camping gear. The tool shed by the picnic area adds a few more tools. One storage building near the river holds sports gear, and the other holds tools and materials. The canteen's upper floor is full of crates, mostly tools and gardening seeds. The canteen kitchen and janitor's room are also worth a search. The living quarters give books and a janitor's supply room. The classroom furniture can be taken apart for carpentry practice. The northern cabin holds a military ham radio and an antique oven.
Surviving in Camp Camus
The forest around the camp is very rural and quiet. Even so, the main points of interest in Doe Valley Forest can draw a crowd, so the buildings deserve a careful approach. The river and the stream give water and fishing. Seeds from the canteen and the open ground around the cabins make a start on farming possible.
The ranger's cabin has the best mix of supplies and is the natural choice for a base. The northern cabin is even more isolated, with its antique oven for cooking.
The dirt roads in are long and winding. Over time they overgrow with trees and become hard to drive, so a vehicle route may need clearing with an axe. Stocking up before moving in saves dangerous trips out of the forest.
