On top of clear skies, buried beneath each camp are bunkers homing crafting recipes which gives Deacon St. John the ability to craft deadlier weapons and items. Here are the 10 Ambush Camp Locations You Need To Know About in Days Gone.
10 Horse Creek Ambush Camp

9 Cascade Radio Tower

7 Belknap Caves

At the bottom of the ladder, a blueprint for a new craftable awaits. The Smoke Bomb is a key weapon as far as dealing with hoards, disorienting Breakers, or trying to make yourself disappear in a hurry.
Just make sure you've switched back to your rock before throwing it as a distraction, or else you'll end up with some curious enemies investigating a cloud of smoke.
6 Bear Creek Hot Springs

4 Redwood RV Park Ambush Camp
The RV Park can be found southwest of the Rogue Tunnel Nero Checkpoint just above the border separating the North from the South. Once you've passed the hanging human ornament, you'll meet a rather large group of bald, freaker worshiping rippers.
In between a row of portable toilets and the large wooden fence, located is the hatch leading down to the park bunker. One of the key weapons you'll rely on often while going up against dozens of freakers is the Attractor Bomb, a bomb which as the name dictates, lures in the infected before exploding.
3 Deerborn
Tucked away Southeast of Sherman's Camp, your reward for clearing this campsite out is discovered several feet below in the bunker found by the Marauder's campfire.
When taking on hoards, stocking up on explosives are ideal as they focus on destroying groups of enemies rather than one at a time. What you'll find here is one more convenient weapon added to your arsenal that you'll be cycling through your survival wheel while taking on dozens of infected, the proximity bomb.
2 Berley Lake Ambush Camp
Admirers of the Drifter Crossbow should seek the camp West of the Berley Lake. Near the Southern border of Lost Lake next door to several nests, a place which will stimulate players fascinated with crafting various styles of bolts.

1 Cascade Lakes Railway

Poison bolts work as you may imagine with each shot slowly killing whoever you have your crossbow aimed at. A residue bolt that turns enemies on each other and a handful of other styles. Once this camp has been cleared, Deacon will add one more bolt style to his stockpile, the explosive bolt. This bolt does a superior job of taking out multiple enemies at once.
