Campsite

The campsite at night

The Campsite is a region in Baldur's Gate 3. This is a special location that the party discovers when they first initiate a long rest, and can subsequently be traveled to similarly or through fast travel.

Purpose and usage

The Magic Mirror

The campsite provides a location to swap or speak to party members, store or retrieve items from the Traveller's Chest, change class or revive fallen Companions via Withers, or take a Long Rest. Through interacting with the Magic Mirror, Custom, Dark Urge, and Hireling characters (not Origins, or Companions) can change their appearance. In Multiplayer, Withers' Wardrobe of Wayward Friends will spawn there when player characters are dismissed.

When travelling to camp, all attached party members will travel also if they are not too far away from the traveller. Fleeing combat will also move the fleeing character to camp.

Day and Night Versions

Day-Time Version

The day-time version of the camp is accessed whenever the party chooses to go to it through fast travel. The party may also appear here instead of in the World Map after resting if certain camp cutscenes that don't trigger automatically are available. It is also possible to reform the party composition here.

Night-Time Version

The night-time version of the campsite serves as the mandatory location for Long Resting. It is also a key location to progress the main and companion stories through camp conversations. The party composition can reformed here in the same way as in the day-time version.

Waypoints

This location does not contain any waypoints, but can be fast travelled to at any point when fast travel in general is allowed. Arriving at the campsite this way will show the daytime version of the location.

Events

During Baldur's Gate 3, many story related events happen at the campsite. These are almost always triggered upon taking a Long Rest, but some of them automatically happen upon reaching certain triggers. Sometimes, several events can be queued if all of their requirements are met. If multiple camp nights have been unlocked, they play in order of priority.

Instances

The appearance of the Campsite (tents, furniture, characters, etc.) may change as the story progresses, provided the player character gathers companions and allies. The campsite has several instance variants that are used when travelling to camp from certain game locations. Like the open world it is possible to loot containers and take items to be sold. These can be looted from each instance.

Act One

• Basement Campsite: This campsite is visited when in the basement / cellar of any home in the Blighted Village or in the basement of the Toll House at the Risen Road.
• Cavern Campsite: This campsite is visited when resting in the Whispering Depths or in the Graverobber's Cave in the Apothecary Cellar.
• Crèche Y'llek Campsite: This campsite is visited when resting inside Crèche Y'llek.
• Overgrown Chapel Campsite: This is campsite is visited when in the interior of the Overgrown Ruins or inside the Shattered Sanctum of the Goblin Camp.
• Rosymorn Monastery Trail Campsite: This campsite is visited when resting in the main area of Rosymorn Monastery Trail.
• Underdark Campsite: This campsite is visited when in the primary Underdark region.
• Underdark (Grymforge) Campsite: This campsite is visited when in the Grymforge area of the Underdark.
• Underground Campsite: This campsite is visited when in underground over-land regions such as the Zhentarim Basement or the Underground Passage.
• Wilderness Campsite: This is the primary campsite the party visit when in the Wilderness or its outdoor locations.

Act Two

• Gauntlet of Shar Campsite: This campsite is visited when resting in the Gauntlet of Shar.
• Last Light Inn Campsite: This campsite is visited when resting while in the Last Light Inn location of the Shadow-Cursed Lands.
• Moonrise Towers Campsite: This campsite is visited when resting in Moonrise Towers.
• Shadow-Cursed Lands Campsite: This campsite is visited when resting while in many of the areas within the Shadow-Cursed Lands.

Act Three

• Baldur's Gate Alley Campsite: This campsite is visited when resting while in the Lower City.
• Elfsong Tavern Suite: This campsite is different from the others in that it is not automatically obtained by resting. Instead, the party must speak to Alan Alyth in the Elfsong Tavern and unlock the option to stay at the Inn, either by paying gold or via a dialogue check. Once unlocked the room will be available on rest, and replaces the Alley Campsite as the main camp while resting in Baldur's Gate.
• Rivington Campsite: This campsite is visited when resting while in Rivington or Wyrm's Rock.
• Wyrm's Lookout Campsite: A one-time campsite visited during an intermission after completing Act Two.

Item persistence

It is possible to place items, containers, chests in a camp. If returning to the same camp instance those items will persist. However, travelling to a different camp instance, those items will not be moved to the new instance.

At a certain points in the story it is not possible anymore to return to camp instances from previous Acts. So leaving storing items in these camps can be dangerous.

The Traveller's Chest is the only exception; its contents persist across all camps.

Notes

• Some campsites contain Easter Eggs in the form of "singing spots," locations where a character can stand and hear alternate music. The known singing spots include:

• 
  "Singing" rock above Astarion's tent in the Wilderness camp at X: -643 Y: -199. Plays a fully orchestrated and vocalized version of "I Want To Live."
• 
  "Singing" vista overlooking Wyrm's Rock at the Wyrm's Lookout camp at X: 363 Y: 51. Plays a fully orchestrated and vocalized version of "I Want To Live."
• 
  "Singing" cliff overlooking a canyon in the Rosymorn Monastery Trail camp at X: -389 Y: -1031. Plays a fully orchestrated and vocalized version of "I Want To Live."

• The Elfsong Tavern camp also features unique music, "Song of Balduran", though it is not necessary to stand in any particular spot to hear it.
