Camping

Cooking builds the campfire, and every other profession adds a camp feature to it. Sit at the fire for a minute and each feature's buff is yours for an hour. The buffs grow with your character level, not your profession skill, and each one replaces a class buff rather than stacking with it.

3: features around the Basic Campfire (Cooking 1)
5: features around the Journeyman Campfire (Cooking 90)
10: features around the Expert Campfire (Cooking 200)
60 min: cooldown every camp feature shares

Build a camp

The starter feature of each profession, with its buff at your level. Higher blueprints keep the same buff and add a station or a service.

Your level

Add up to 3 features, one per player at the fire. 0 of 3

Pick features above to see what this camp gives at level 60.

The rules, from the tooltips

Every feature needs a campfire nearby. A basic campfire holds 3, a journeyman one 5 and an expert one 10. Game files · build 70245
You get the buffs by sitting or crafting near the fire for a minute; each lasts an hour. Game files · build 70245
Placing any camp feature starts a 60-minute cooldown on all of yours; a campfire's own cooldown is 5 minutes. Game files · build 70245
Each buff is mutually exclusive with a class buff: Mana Well with Blessing of Wisdom, Sharpening Wheel with Strength of Earth Totem, Enchanted Lute with Mark of the Wild, First Aid Kit with Power Word: Fortitude, Fish Bowl with Blessing of Kings, Incense Candle with Arcane Intellect, Lodestone with Blessing of Might, Camp Chair with Moonkin Aura and Faction Banner with Divine Spirit. Game files · build 70245
The blueprints at 140 and 300 skill go over the starter feature to replace it and keep its buff, except the Anarchist's Workbench, which stands on its own. Game files · build 70245
A campfire takes 1 Simple Wood, with Flint and Tinder in your bags. Game files · build 70245

Matches the files First Aid camp feature: unpack a First Aid Kit (made with Refreshing Spring Water plus Linen Bandages) that gives you and nearby sitting players +3 Stamina, exclusive with Power Word: Fortitude. Camp features cannot be placed too close to other objects.
The files First Aid Kit recipe 1230117: 1 Refreshing Spring Water + 3 Linen Bandage. Stamina buff (56 max, level-scaled) mutually exclusive with PW:Fortitude. SPELL_FAILED_CUSTOM_ERROR_6003: 'You cannot place a feature that close to a creature or object.'
Sodapoppin, Sep 17 at 17:38 · Xaryu, Sep 18 at 42:19
Matches the files A Basic Campfire holds up to 3 crafted profession objects, and each player can place one. Examples: blacksmith Sharpening Wheel, tailor Faction Banner, herbalist Incense Candle. These buffs are variants of class buffs and don't stack with them. The first objects need 20 skill; advanced ones come from blueprint recipes found while adventuring. Cooks make upgraded campfires that hold 5 to 10 objects.
The files Basic Campfire 1307227 holds 3 features; buffs are mutually exclusive with class buffs; tier-1 recipes yellow at 20; Blueprint items cover advanced features. Cooking's Journeyman Campfire 1307252 holds 5 features (skill 90, Blueprint 273087) and Expert Campfire 1307237 holds 10 (skill 200, Blueprint 273101). 'One object per player' fits the shared 1-h camp-feature cooldown (1308027), but the placement rule is server-side.
Force Gaming, Sep 16 at 17:36
Matches the files A player's Basic Campfire in the open world drew other players right away. Sitting (/sit) at it starts a 60-second 'welcoming campfire' wait before the camp benefit buff is granted. On day one the buff seemed delayed or bugged for Xaryu.
The files Welcoming Campfire 1229739/1289723: benefits granted 'after 1 min spent sitting near the campfire' (periodic 60,000 ms, triggers Camp Benefits 1229741). The social rationale can't be checked.
Xaryu, Sep 19 at 12:03
Matches the files Camp buffs share exclusivity with class buffs (no camp Kings plus Paladin Kings). Higher-skill implements add perks: Leatherworkers give 5% rested XP, First Aid hands out potions, and Herbalists let people grow herbs.
The files All camp buffs are 'mutually exclusive' with class buffs (Fish Bowl / Blessing of Kings etc.). Camp Tent gives rested XP (LW). Toxin Study / Plague Doctor's Laboratory hand out potions (First Aid). Greenhouse grows herbs (Herbalism). Note the tent is the tier-1 LW feature.
MadSeasonShow, Oct 1 at 37:27
Partly Sitting at a camp gives a small amount of rested XP, only once per hour. The Fishbowl buff tooltip read 'All stats increased by 8'.
The files Camp Tent gives rested XP and is limited per hour (Boosted Rest 1229451: 'You cannot gain more rested experience from a Camp Tent for 1 hour'). No debuff named 'Recently buffed in a camp' exists. The hourly limit comes from Boosted Rest / the shared 1-hour feature cooldown.
Xaryu, Sep 18 at 10:10
Not in the files Fishing for a full hour with the Fishing Rack buff (Booty Bay, open water) gave no noticeable change in catches.
The files Catch rates are server-side. For context, Fishing Rack 1307247 'grants the ability to catch uncommon fish for 1 hour, provides Fishing Skill lures, and provides all of the benefits of a Fish Bowl'.
VezyRPG, Oct 3 at 14:59
Not in the files Hunter pets also benefit from the campfire (camping) buff.
The files Whether pets get Camp Benefits (1229741) is decided by the server. The client has no flag for it.

Matches the files Camp features need a campfire nearby, share a 1-hour cooldown, and buff players who sit there for 1 minute. Entry-level features: Mining Lodestone +12 AP (excl. Blessing of Might); Blacksmithing +6 Strength; First Aid Kit +3 Stamina; Fishing Fishbowl +8% all stats (excl. Blessing of Kings).
The files 'All camping features share a cooldown of 1 hour' (e.g. Camp Chair 1307229, 3,600,000 ms category cooldown); 1-min sit. Lodestone (AP, mutually exclusive with BoM), Sharpening Wheel (Str), First Aid Kit (Sta), Fish Bowl 1307245 (+8% stats, mutually exclusive with Kings). Low values are level-scaled.
Xaryu, Sep 18 at 10:53 · ItalianSpartacus, Sep 19 at 15:33
Matches the files Camping buffs come from professions. The cooking fire made with Cooking is the base of the campfire system and accommodates a limited number of extra objects crafted by other professions (examples given: skinner, miner, blacksmith, leatherworker). Players must sit at the camp for about a minute to receive the buffs.
The files Basic Campfire 1229737 is a Cooking recipe. Placed campfire 1307227 holds 3 features from other professions (Lodestone/Mining, Camp Chair/Skinning, Sharpening Wheel/BS, Camp Tent/LW...). 1-min sit 1229739.
MadSeasonShow, Oct 1 at 36:45
Matches the files Campfire buffs apply to everyone sitting at the campfire, so a group with different professions can stack buffs before a dungeon. Shroudy sees this as replacing world buffs.
The files Every feature tooltip says 'allows you and others sitting nearby to gain...'. Replacing world buffs is opinion.

In Blizzard's notes

Matches the files
The Boosted Rest debuff caused by this camp feature now has a different icon intended to make the effect clearer, and the tooltip has been rewritten to be clearer.
The files Build 70170 changed Boosted Rest's icon (file 136090 to 1001982) and rewrote its debuff text to 'You cannot gain more rested experience from a Camp Tent for 1 hour.' (spell 1229451).
Boosted Rest Development Notes, October 1
Matches the files
Wording on camping features has been adjusted to use the term "mutually exclusive" instead of just "exclusive" to reduce some confusion around functionality.
The files Build 70170 changed 'exclusive with' to 'mutually exclusive with' on 10 camp items (Camp Chair, Enchanted Lute, both Faction Banners, First Aid Kit, Fish Bowl, Incense Candle, Lodestone, Mana Well, Sharpening Wheel). The Mana Well tooltip reads 'muutally exclusive', a typo in the file.

Campfires no longer deal damage to players below level 5, and they deal reduced damage to players with less than 90% health.

Fixed an issue where attempting to craft items or cast spells was causing players to stand up while waiting to obtain their Campfire buff.
The files In build 70009 the Welcoming Campfire timer (1229739, the 1-minute sit before Camp Benefits) stopped breaking when you stand: its interrupt flags went from 262152 (moving plus standing) to 8 (moving only).
Welcoming Campfire Development Notes, September 24
Matches the files
Players may now buff each other, cast, and craft while waiting for their Campfire buffs.
The files The same 70009 change covers this. Welcoming Campfire (1229739) no longer cancels on standing, so casting or crafting doesn't reset the wait. Moving still cancels it.
Welcoming Campfire Development Notes, September 24
Not in the files
Players may now obtain a Campfire buff if they are sitting, sitting in a chair, sleeping, lying down, or using the kneeling emote.
The files Which poses count as sitting is checked by the server. The aura text still says 'sitting near the campfire' and nothing about poses changed in the files.
