How does the second camp slot work?

[Bodean Abernathy II]

I have my first camp that I built into a giant power pylon that tooks hours to make and I CANNOT move it. If I use my second camp slot, will it make it impossible to place down my other camp? Can I load into my world with a certain camp selected? Please help! Thanks in advance.

Yes.

No, you load in with the last active camp.

Edit:
The one being active when you logged out, I mean.

You can switch between camps at will, provided the slot is currently not used by a nearby player.

by using the 2nd slot the first camp is disactivated sop when you place a new camp is new. later you can turn off the 2nd map and re activated the first one and it will be in the same place. so feel free to activate the 2nd one and put it where ever you want it wont affect the first one

Cool, thanks guys. I appreciate that help

On re-read, I think I misspoke though.

Here's the clear version (I hope)

You activate your second camp.
Your first camp goes to limbo, exactly as it is.

You activate your original camp
It comes back exactly as it was, provided there is no other player set up nearby, but you do not have to move or otherwise rebuild it, it would just tell you that it's blocked.

You can switch between those two camps at will (within a small cooldown timeframe)

NEVER, EVER agree to have your (blocked) camp packed up to move it elsewhere when prompted.

Hope this was more to the point and not misleading.

Tip:
Place one of your camps inside the nuke-exclusion zone, so you can switch to it if you happen to get nuked.
