Where To Find Every Pop-Up Camp In The Windward Plains In Monster Hunter Wilds

A core appeal of Monster Hunter is the structure. You pick the monster you want to hunt, get all your gear ready, gather up a team, eat your meal, and head out. That has been the standard across just about every Monster Hunter Game. Until Monster Hunter Wilds. Pop-Up Camps change the game quite dramatically.

No more running to the hub between hunts, and having to pick out a hunt from a list. Run out into the world and find those monster yourself, and rest at any camp you find along the way. And when it comes to the Windward Plains, there are quite a few Pop-Up Camps for you to find.

What Are Pop-Up Camps?

Pop-Up Camps are, for all intents and purposes, the same as your own tent back at Base Camp in each region. You can start quests, change your equipment, restock your items, and pretty much everything else. The only major thing you miss out on are the helpful NPCs at Base Camp, like Gemma or the Provisions Stockpile.

There are two ways of setting up a Pop-Up Camp, which are as follow:

• Speaking with the representative Felyne at any Base Camp and choosing the location you would like your Pop-Up Camp established from the list of discovered locations.
• Using the Pop-Up Camp Kit yourself while at a Pop-Up Camp site, calling a duo of Felyne to set up the camp for you straight away.

Mind you, if your camp slots are full in a region, you can only reset them by returning to Base Camp.

While Pop-Up Camps are incredibly handy, they come with their own risks. Any monster that comes across them will almost definitely destroy them, at which point you have to either wait for them to be repaired automatically, or pay some Guild Points to have it repaired immediately.

How Many Pop-Up Camps Are There In The Windward Plains?

Across all the regions of the game, the Windward Plains easily has the most Pop-Up Camp sites of any region, though you still can’t place any more than five at its maximum limit. The majority of these camp sites are out in the open, though some may find themselves hidden away in hard-to-reach areas.

There are a total of 13 Pop-Up Camps in the Windward Plains. The only thing to look out for here is that many of the Pop-Up Camps are relatively close to one another. Make sure none of them are too close and you have a quite coverage of areas when choosing which camps to establish.
