Frequently asked questions
Does the game save my progress?
Yes. The game saves automatically as you play, on your device only. There is no account and nothing is stored online. If you delete the app, your progress is deleted too, and it can't be recovered, so please keep the app installed if you want to keep your campsites.
How do I start again?
Open the menu (☰) and choose Restart game. This deletes your progress at every site, so the game asks you to confirm first.
Do I need the internet?
No. The game works fully offline, with no adverts and no sign-in.
How do I change or turn off the sound?
Tap the 🔊 button at the top of the screen to open the Sound panel. You can choose music, countryside sounds, both, or nothing, and set separate volumes for the music, the countryside sounds and the taps. If you hear nothing at all, check that your iPhone's silent switch is off and the volume is up.
How do I unlock Beck Field?
Work through the Dale End objectives. Objective 3, Saving for Beck Field, asks for 65 guests at once and £15,000 in the bank. When you have done it, tap the Beck Field tab above the map (or swipe sideways) and buy the field for £15,000. Beck Field needs its own toilets.
How do I unlock Mere Side?
Mere Side, the lakeside site, goes up for sale when you have finished all 5 Dales objectives, won at least 3 of the 6 Dales Awards and have £40,000 in the Dales bank. A Mere Side is for sale! card appears. Tap 🗺️ Sites next to the field tabs, then Buy. You can switch back to the Dales whenever you like, and while you're away it sends Mere Side a small nightly income.
How do I zoom and look around?
Pinch, or use the + and − buttons. When zoomed in, drag with one finger to look around. Each site remembers your zoom.
What do the red and amber squares mean when I place a building?
A solid red square means the building can't go there (the spot is taken, it's on a path or scenery, or you can't afford it). Amber dashed squares are just a warning: guests staying right next to a noisy building, such as a playground or boat hire, will be a little less happy. Green shows where guests will like it more.
Why are guests unhappy or leaving?
Open the Guests panel to see what they think, and the Prices panel to check your prices. Common fixes are more toilets nearby, a shop, fewer noisy neighbours, or lower prices.
