Island Campground

The **Island Campground** is located on a small rocky island in the Northern Ocean, in the top left of the map. After you help to construct it, it provides you with daily passive income.

## Discovering it

The daily Newspaper sometimes advertises the parts of the game you haven't tried yet. On such days, a question mark is displayed over every newspaper you come across. One of those ads is about an entrepreneur looking for a partner to develop a rocky island. However, it's not required to see this ad before starting the construction. You can just discover the island yourself while exploring the Northern Ocean on your boat, then disembark on the beach and talk to the Duck to start.

## Building it

You can find the Ranger Duck on the beach below the cliffs. This Duck is looking for a business partner to build a campground. Your first task is to build a Ferry Dock, which requires 100 boards of Lumber.

To get the lumber to the island, you need to become a Substitute Ferry Captain for a day. Then put a Pickup Truck loaded with lumber onto the ferry and sail to the island. (A Forklift loaded with lumber will not fit due to the length of the lumber. However, you can still use it to bring up to 4 stacks of lumber to the Marina in one trip, then transfer it to a nearby pickup truck.) You can buy the lumber at the Sawmill, pick it up from Construction Duck’s storage, or steal it from the Port.

Before the Ferry Dock is built, you just stop your Ferry near the beach, and the lumber will be unloaded automatically. Then talk to Ranger Duck to start the construction.

The next step is to build a Reception Shelter and at least one Large Tent. Now you need to moor your Ferry in the Ferry Dock, and drive the pickup into the unloading area. Up to 400 lumber may be stored on the island. Talk to the Ranger Duck to access the construction menu.

Additional buildings will increase the duration of campers’ stay and the amount they pay. The total cost of constructing all buildings is 4500 coins and 575 lumber.

## Campers

To make money from your campground, you need to bring campers and stock the cooler with food.

### Bringing them in

To bring campers in, work as a ferry captain again. When a driver requests to board your Ferry and to move them between the Marina and the Island, sail them to your campground instead.

Note that you must bring Ferry passengers (those who wait in a car or on a bike near the Ferry dock, and request a Ferry ride when you dock there). Bringing anyone else, like taxi passengers or friends, will not work.

### Duration of stay

There are two beds in each tent. Each car or bike will fill one tent, regardless of the number of passengers in that car. If you bring a car with a driver and 2 passengers, one of them will say that that he/she will have to swim back to the mainland.

With the campground fully constructed, they will stay for 7-8 days. A number on a clipboard in front of each tent shows the remaining number of days. They will leave themselves; you don’t need to ferry them back to mainland. On leaving, they write reviews in the guestbook. Then you will need to bring new campers to fill empty tents.

## Profits

The money can be retrieved from the safe. Any combination of numbers will work, and it doesn't have to be the same. If you don’t collect the coins or collect them partially, they stay in the safe for you to collect the next day. After the Reception Shelter has been built, you can travel to this island using the Ocean Map, which allows you to quickly restock the food in the cooler and collect the money.

Each occupied tent will pay 125 coins per night. Additionally, each tent will eat one food item from the cooler and pay 2.5 times (rounded up) more than the value that the Bear near the Sasquatch House pays for.

If you don’t collect your daily profits, they stay in the safe so you can collect them later. There doesn’t seem to be any limit on the amount of coins the safe can hold.

## Ferry Duck

If you have at least 5 guestbook reviews, you can have the Ferry Duck bring campers to your campground for you. The Duck will give you the phone number (`555-2267`), which you must put onto a Billboard (costs 500 coins initially and 25 coins per day).

The duck only brings new campers on the days you visit the campground. That means, to maximize profits, you should visit every day. You can quick travel there in the end of the day when you have nothing else left to do. Collect the profits and restock the cooler if needed.

If you stop going to the campground, the Duck will not bring new visitors after those already present have left. When you eventually visit the island, the Duck will immediately bring fresh visitors to fill all empty tents (you will not need to interact with the Duck again for it to happen). It is not necessary to collect the money for the Duck to bring new campers.

## Facilities

If a tent is unoccupied, you can sleep in it. If all tents are occupied, you cannot sleep on this island.

The picnic table can be used to eat.

The beach is connected to the top of the Island with the ladder. You can fish or scuba dive from this beach. You can also use the beach to arrive to the island by boat. The Valet Duck will appear here too; it can fetch any of the boats you purchased. If you sleep in one of the empty tents, your current boat will spawn near the beach in the morning.

## Trivia

While it is possible to activate Ranger Danger on this island (by taking off the disguise, hitting campers with a vehicle, or hitting the golfer camper’s ball), no law enforcement turn up to catch Sasquatch. The Ranger Duck however will say “Stay out of trouble, Sasquatch” like normal rangers do after throwing Sasquatch off the campground.
