Maple Lodge Campsite

Misleading rooms

The game splits some rooms differently from how they look. It matters for the Ouija Board, Ghost Orbs and the ghost room.

• The Reception Building isn’t on the same floor as the campsite: the game counts it on the cabin’s first floor.
• The big open areas (Campsite A, Campsite B and the North East Path) count as rooms, but they can never be the ghost room.
• From the Cabin Bedroom the ghost can make a short roam to another floor.

Hiding spots

• The restroom stalls make a good hiding spot: the ghost rarely walks in unless you draw its attention. Hold the stall door shut in case it tries to open it.
• Tent flaps don’t block the ghost’s line of sight unless they’re fully closed, even if you hold them up to cover yourself.
• From the Picnic Area the ghost can’t see players on the cabin’s balcony, even standing up.
• There’s an invisible wall on the Pier past the first pole: from the cabin porch or behind the cabin the ghost can’t see you if you’re far enough out. Crouch behind the chair at the end: the ghost has to walk all the way out to see you.

Where to loop the ghost

• You can loop the ghost around the picnic tables.
• You can also run a big loop across much of the map: the Reception Building, Campsite B and the Staff Storage Area.
• The paths fork a lot and almost everything connects in more than one way: use that to lose the ghost.

Tips

• Weather matters a lot: outside the cabin and the Reception Building the temperature won’t rise even with the power on, heavy rain puts out candles and other flames, and strong wind can drown out sounds like thrown items or the ghost’s voice during a hunt.
• Finding the ghost room or fingerprints takes more work than in a house. Besides the usual surfaces, fingerprints can show up on the inside edges of tent flaps, tent windows, the base of lanterns, the string light poles and their switches, picnic benches, small tents, cooler boxes and log seats.
• The Cabin Key is under the mat by the cabin door. The cabin doors can’t be unlocked during a hunt, but once open they never lock again.
• You can light the campfires with a Firelight or an Igniter, but they don’t warm up the room (probably a bug).
• Campfire A and Campfire B have no main lights, so nothing stops sanity drain there. Campsite A and the Cleaning Closet are dim rooms: they drain sanity at 80% of the rate even with the lights on.
• In the Entrance, Staff Storage Area, Storage Tent 1, Campsite B, Picnic Area, Cabin Living Room and Cabin Bedroom you also need the small lamps on to stop sanity drain. Each restroom’s light switch (the one inside, not the one on the pole) also counts for the Cleaning Closet.
• Bone: They spawn randomly anywhere the ghost can walk, but only in rooms that can be the ghost room. In the Black, Green, Grey, Red and White Tents they never spawn inside, only on the outside part; for the Grey and White Tents they sometimes end up in Campsite B.

Trivia
