Camp Office is a two-story cabin located on the western side of Mystery Lake.
Overview[]
The Camp Office's location makes it arguably the best safehouse in most gameplay modes, as it is centrally located both midway other Regions on Great Bear, as well as within Mystery Lake itself.
Nearby key locations are: Mystery Lake, ice fishing huts scattered about, cat tails around the lake perimeter, and a rabbit grove nearby between the Deadfall area and Trapper's homestead. Deer and wolves may wander the area, with additional Deer spawns on the Lake and the clearing between the Office and Forestry Lookout, as well as a moose sometimes frequenting the train tracks some distance from the building.
The Office has two entrances (front and back), and two floors. The first floor features a work bench, a first aid box next to the back door, and a potbelly stove. A potato sack can potentially spawn under the staircase. Next to the stairs is one of the Radios necessary to contact the Trader (if enabled).
The second floor sometimes features a corpse that may spawn at the top of the stairs, a wood burning stove, two bunk beds, a dresser, a shelf, a cupboard, a table, and chair. Near the desk upstairs is a note left behind.
All the containers combined: Dresser (2 x 10 kg), Cupboard (15 kg), and File Cabinet (4 x 10 kg) offers a total 75 kg (165 lbs) of guaranteed indoor storage, an additional 10 kg (22 lbs) with Workbench and First Aid shelf added, plus a wide and a tall shelf. Running the 3 indoor cooking slots simultaneously - while fuel intensive - makes it possible to cook large amounts of meat relatively quickly.
There is also a metal container outside behind the building, ideal for storing both perishables such as meat, and items intended to be left uncured, like Green Birch Saplings. Keep in mind that Ruined items disappear when they reach 0% condition inside a container, so consider storing food on the ground instead.
Trivia[]
It is implied in Episode 2: Luminance Fugue that Jeremiah would regularly shelter in the Camp Office, judging by the amount of discarded Pork and Beans cans left around.
This location is one of the most iconic places in the game as an important central location in the first region to be released.
