Where is a good place to start a base?

[hi team it's me 0]

Hi me and my friends were trying to find a good structure or very small village away from cities that we could store vehicles and stuff, we've got bored of the classic tents in the woods, we tried orvolets factory zombies seem to infinitely spawn there so it was too much effort keeping it secure, any good places? :D

What map?

[Michaelvoodoo25 3120]

Chernarus? Grozovy Pass is a nice out of the way place, some buildings up there

[hi team it's me 0]

Yeah chernarus sorry, and oooh will head up there now, what are the zombie spawns like there?

The forest above Cherno by Gvozdino is really nice, no one thinks anyone would be stupid enough to hide there, so its never checked thoroughly.

Anywhere on the western side of the map or north east

You do realise that by suggesting places in a public forum is effectively making them a poor place for a camp? most people wouldn't dream of posting their best base ideas here. Also you should realise from the off that any camp will eventually be found.

Best thing to do is get a copy of the map open in photoshop or something similar, pinpoint the places you first went. Pinpoint the places where you regularly go. Pinpoint the places where you see most other people.

Now draw lines of travel too and from each of these points, making diversions for areas of cover or areas of interests between these points.

Dont include areas around the east and north edge of the map (if Chernarus)

Now look at the map.

Look at the least traversed areas of the map. Find un-enterable buildings, low yield buildings/sheds, buildings or places that arent even worth looking at that fall in the un-travelled areas. These are places to consider for bases and least likely to be found quickly.

That's the first places we usually look for camps mate..... (well after weve checked the west and nothern areas of the edge of the map).

Don't do Islands without reliable transport. You don't want to feel that pain.

Doesn't that mean its the last place you look, since there are only North, South, East and West?

Also, just mentioning it doesn't make it a worse hiding spot, people will still hide just as much as stuff as they usually do by the forest at NWAF.

If theres a building, it will have zombies spawn in/outside of it. I think the only execration is the very large warehouses (the one near Stary comes to mind as an example, theres a couple around that are isolated though and there are usually other buildings nearby) I would advise against thouse because people usualy check them for vehicle spawns (I belive a bus spawns in one) and its realtively hard to secure (theres like 2 or 3 doorways, gaps in the wall where someone can shoot into, and one or two stairs that lead into the catwalks above). Unless your out int he woods away from all buildings zombies will spawn, even something as simple as a shack will have 2-3 zombies spawning nearby. I believe sandbags stop zombies (not 100% sure) better than catwire does. Any camp will more than likely be found (I have a pretty good camp set up in the woods, surrounded by hills and forest with a clearing big enough for a helicopter whenever I get one. Lotta game nearby to hunt, only thing I wish I had was a nearby source of water, its been found a couple of times and looted, I stayed in the same spot however since I didnt have anything of high enough value other than a van that went missing.

I would suggest to make a camp in some pine forest between the small cities on the center of the map, no one have time enough to search for camps there.

That's where literally everyone camps.
