Maybe a dumb question... but here goes...
I've noticed that when I setup a camp... and I run outside it... and run back in... several times, it "ups" the number of people that have "visited" my camp.
Does this gain me xp faster?
Maybe I shouldn't have brought this up here... as it may be that I've "let the cat out of the bag"? Then again, maybe it does nothing at all?
Anyone know?
Thanks.

I noticed that, too, one time when I was trying to see if I could get close enough to the river I was next to in order to fish and ended up leaving the boundary of the camp. I know that more visitors helps your xp but I am not sure whether it can tell the difference between the scout and a visitor. One way you could check is to just do two camps. In one, don't leave the camp and keep it up for a set amount of time. The other, try leaving the camp and coming back but only have it up for the same amount of time as the other camp.

It does a bit. Do like Ailsa suggested and test two camps. Just make sure you have not wounds that are passively healing, as that will add to the total.
Visitors passing through seems to help, but I'm not sure by how much. CURRENT visitors help more, so it's better to camp with others.
Just be careful about running back and forth into and out of the camp. I've wound up with a negative amount of visitors (I guess it didn't acknowledge me coming back in, but it acknowledged me running back out). I still got XP, but not much.
Your best bet for survival XP is camping with friends, and then crafting camps in practice mode.

Guys,
Honestly, it really doesn't. The numbers go up, but if there is a difference, it's so negligble, the only thing it's good for is giving you something to do while you wait for the camp to max out.

Tonight I had the opposite happen... I ran back and forth and had 6 current visitors listed... but it was just me. Did'nt help too much.
So if passive wounds help... then I should probably keep up the foraging while in camp?
The biggest thing was the camp making though... Basic give you 30 points... and are quicker to produce while Multipersons give 56 points but take more resources and more time in the crafting machine. What I need is another crafting machine so I can double up on the camp crafting.... like I used to do with my Pharmaceuticals.
Thanks all.
