Can't visit an abandoned camp I Caravaned to

[Sanfranman491]

I sent a caravan to a region 2 in-game days away, to see what resources I could find. I sent my 2 best miners. I mined Silver Ore, and Titanium. I could not carry everything back home, so I tried to return to collect the rest. Not until I arrived, was I told I could not.set up camp at a place I was recently at. That's the whole message. It doesn't tell me WHEN I can return to the abandoned camp to collect the rest of the Titanium. Anyone know how long I have to wait before going back to that area, so I don't have to keep wasting time sending a caravan there for nothing?

Short answer you can't, you abandoned it, it's gone. Pretty sure there are mods that change that. Pretty sure you can delete the site from the dev tools also, though I don't think that recreates the camp, just makes setting up a camp possible again on a tile that will likely produce an entirely different map, but I have never tried so am not sure.

If it's Set Up Camp, then the default might be around 60 days or so looking at the screenshot in the workshop; check the mod settings for that, although it should've shown that when you click on the abandoned camp itself. It'll just create a refreshed site so "getting the rest" isn't really a thing; if for some reason you want to really exhaust the place in one go then either have someone there to keep the map active while you ship resources out, or enable the option to make it permanent.

If it's some other mod, then check the relevant settings or workshop page for it.

Ya this sounds like the Set Up Camp mod. When you leave a camp in that mod the camp sticks around for a while and you can return to it, if you don't have any colonists reenter that camp within a certain number of days it becomes and abandoned camp, the map is deleted and all items that were on it are gone at that point. Once the abandoned camp object fades you are allowed to make a new camp on that tile. The duration of both of these things can be adjusted in the mod settings, including an option to allow permanent camps that are only abandoned when you choose to abandon them.

If it's not the Set Up Camp mod and you mean settlements, once you abandon a settlement everything on that tile is deleted and an abandoned settlement object will block you from ever settling that tile again. You can use dev mode to delete this object and settle the tile again, but you get a fresh map full of resources and none of the things you had there before.
