- Camp Canyonwood Launch Update (Version 1.0)! - 26 February 2024
After 4 years of development, with a year in Early Access working with the community, we're proud to launch our game child Camp Canyonwood out into the world! We've worked tirelessly with our QA team, our community, and our publisher to fix up and polish Camp Canyonwood into the best little camping sim it can be. But enough talk, we'll let our changes speak for themselves. Check out the full list below! Changes and Fixes Campers now prioritize putting away a resource immediately after collecting it as long as there is a dedicated Storage for that resource with space available, otherwise they will default to dropping the resource on the ground for the player to collect. Fixed campers not detecting/using certain Storage items properly. Campers will no longer autonomously pick flowers or chop trees that are placed by the player, but can still be ordered to do so. Campers will no longer cho…
- Patch Notes (Version 0.903) - 7 July 2023

- The Deseret Update (Version 0.9) - 5 July 2023
https://i.imgur.com/k1NSdqA.gif Welcome to The Deseret Update! No, we didn't spell "desert" wrong, "deseret" is a Utah word that means "hard worker" or "honey bee," and you better believe we've been as busy as bees this past month on this update! Eh? See what I did there? I also had no idea what to call this update since there's a lot of disparate stuff going into it, so let's just buzz right on in, shall we? New Features The Final Biome You know that mysterious and enormous desert region that's blocked off by those pesky Government Agents? Well, rumor has it that the Agents will now leave their posts should the camp achieve a five star reputation rating, and you'll gain access to this secretive, closed off desert region full of historical monuments, strange artifacts and shocking revelations that may reveal answers to some of the camp's many mysteries. You'll have to find out for yours…

https://i.imgur.com/9woTh8h.gif Welcome to the sixth major Camp Canyonwood update! This month, things are getting real wet with rainy days, a huge new wetlands biome to explore, and more!

Go fishing at the abandoned Canoe Docks by Camp Canyonwood's largest body of water, The Sunken Lagoon, and then hunt for insects among the tall grass at Cattail Crossing! When you're done, set up camp by Claw Lake and watch the beavers work their little tails off. New Wildlife + Secrets With a new biome once again comes new wildlife! New cute-and-busy Beavers will go looking for trees to chop down, while rumor has it that the Ghosts of those who drowned in the lakes still haunt these forgotten shores. Was it the Lagoon Monster that to…

- Development Update - 15 November 2022
Howdy Campers, We’d like to start off by thanking everyone who’s joined us during Early Access. Your support is what keeps us going, and while there are many exciting features on the horizon before our full launch, we couldn’t be more grateful to the folks who have been supporting the game and offering their valuable feedback to help us make Camp Canyonwood the very best it can be.

After listening closely to your feedback on Discord, we’ve decided to expand, rework, and refine our update milestones in order to address the content and systems that matter most to you sooner rather than later. That means that there won’t be a November update, but we’ll have a major update in December with the expanded systems you all crave. We’re taking this extra time to prioritize implementing some quality-of-life improvements in order to…
