#20 Castaway Campsite
This is the perfect campsite setup for you if you want to isolate yourself from the world and live on a deserted island. This design features a number of palm trees, shells for the beach, some driftwood to give it a remote-islandy vibe, some tiki torches for the light, and a log fire to keep you warm.
For the seating, add a shell table to sip on your coconut juice. You can also place an outdoor bath near the shells to get a rock pool situation going on. Sounds like a scene out of Castaway, right?
#19 Conversation Pit
Want to transform your campsite into the center of attention? Make it the talk of the town by creating a conversion pit at the center of the campsite. To make it possible, you will need to place the tent on the island’s second level and then make a hole in the ground by terraforming.
For the pit, add some Cushions for comfort, Log Chairs, and finally a Bonfire to make it all warm and cozy. You can also add Custom Design tiles and rugs on the ground to make the seating area aesthetically pleasing. You can also add a few Kids’ Tents so the kids can have their own fun too!
#18 Tarzan Campsite

#17 Clifftop Campsite
This one is one of my favorite campsites of all time. It is a clifftop campsite that has been created to be secluded from the world. It is incredibly serene and features a winding river as well. The creator has placed fir trees and also added a water pump next to the river.
For the decorations, you can use your favorite color flowers, a garden faucet, wooden steps leading to the clifftop, log benches, and anything rustic to resemble a woodland vibe.

To finish the picnic set up, add a Cutting Board and a Picnic Basket with your desired foot items to nibble on when picnicking by this campsite.
#15 Bamboo Campsite
This bamboo campsite is the perfect spot for you to meditate in. It is like a bamboo garden surrounded by Zen Fences and Bamboo Trees.

There are also a number of bamboo pieces, such as a noodle slide off to the side and a bamboo basket to add a light color to the mix.
#13 Vines and Moss
This one takes you right into the middle of the woods. This campsite is hidden deep in the woods and can be quite spooky between all those trees and plants. It is surrounded by pure wilderness all around, featuring vines, Giant Vines, Glowing Moss, Ruined Decorative Pillars, and Glowing Moss Balloons that make the whole setting feel more natural and mysterious.
