In this Red Dead Redemption 2 Camp Upgrades Guide, we will guide you on all camp upgrades that you can purchase in Red Dead Redemption 2. Upgrading your camp is vital because you will be able to unlock a lot of useful things right at your camp which will make your trips back to the camp worthwhile.
These upgrades will allow you to have ammo, medicine, food, and other important bits of the game right in the safety of your camp. These upgrades also increase the morale of your camp. You will have better food, better medicine, better ammo, and more provisions waiting for you at the camp once it is fully upgraded. You will also craft better satchels and unlock the fast-travel map at the camp.
