Good challenging base location for more action?

Beaten the game once in Normal with the good ending, now wanna build a fortress and just fight enemies in Hard Survival mode. Where should i build it? Currently thinking about either the land bridge north-west of the hole, or the Film Crew Camping Site because it spawns loads of modern arrows.

Criteria is more enemies but also its better to have more trees for logs and sticks.

Id say film crew camp. Sounds cool, plus lots of logs, sticks, and unlimited arrows sounds good. If theres not enough action there just build a smaller fort elsewhere you can travel to when in the mood for a fight. Also I believe one of the relics can call cannibals to you. So if you advance that far you can build almost anywhere and never have a slow day.

Restarted the game a few times until my plane crashed right beside that camp. This run will probably go on for quite a long while. My second overall playthrough and first hard survival mode.
Anyway, I don't just wanna use the "press button to call them", but maybe more organically get them to come to me. Or even have a tower right on their patrol path lol.

When I'm doing a game purely for fighting I tend to base at either the main village or near the Yacht Beach. Main village comes with loads of resources and a lot of patrols, also happens to be near the modern axe and katana so you can start fighting well armed early on. Yacht Beach has two nearby save points (tent on the beach and the yacht itself) and is closer to where cooking pots spawn for sap collectors (for weapon upgrades & repair tool), also has a lot of patrols...especially if you take over the hill with the big tree.

To antagonize them into attacking more, get them angry. Cut down tons of trees (preferably with the incredibly noisy chainsaw), build lots of bonfires, break all totems you see nearby, kill every one you see, and make your base big but modular. If your base gets too large they can spawn inside as well so it's good to be able to block them in certain sections of it in case you have to fall back and recover.

I always build on the beach right next to yacht or on the massive tree next to the yacht. There is a daily or semi-daily patrol route there where the pond is, you also get free food from turtles, somewhat close to the film crew, and the tree location can make a choke point for the cannibals. The only downside for the tree base is the travel time to get logs
