Quick answer
Place the kit as a blueprint from the Special build tab
The Basic Camping Kit does not use a normal inventory “use” action. A game-specific Steam answer says to open the lower-left build controls, choose the Special tab, and place it like a workstation blueprint.
- Enter the dungeon and open the lower-left build menu.
- Choose the Special category and select the Basic Camping Kit.
- Place the blueprint, then let the party complete construction.

When a campsite is useful
Submitted player material describes campsites as support for longer expeditions, with rest, mood, and repair trade-offs. Bedrolls can be a lighter alternative, but they do not provide every campsite benefit.
Resource trade-off
Community discussion warns that camping kits consume materials that may be scarce in early builds. Decide whether the extra support is worth the cost before placing one on a short run.
Frequently asked questions
Why is there no Use button?
The kit is placed through the build interface, not activated directly from inventory.
Are old campsites persistent?
Persistence was discussed as a player idea, not confirmed as a current feature.
Can I pack it back up?
The submitted evidence does not establish a universal recovery rule; check the current build before relying on it.
