Camp Whittlewood save file location & backup

Check Steam userdata\<id>\4813190 first, then %LOCALAPPDATA% and Saved Games. Steam Cloud status confirmed in Properties → General.

Camp Whittlewood save file location & backup

Camp Whittlewood saves to your local machine through Steam, but the exact folder is not publicly documented before launch — there is no demo and the store page has no news posts. Two places cover almost every Steam game, and one of them is checkable in ten seconds from the Steam client itself.

Check Steam Cloud first

Before hunting folders, look at whether the game even stores saves locally under your control:

Open your Steam Library and right-click Camp Whittlewood.
Open Properties → General and look at the Steam Cloud section.
If it says the game syncs, your saves travel with your account — right-click → Manage → Browse local files also opens the install folder if you need the whole game directory.

If Steam Cloud is enabled, deleting local files re-downloads them; if it is not, the local folder below is the only copy.

The two standard Windows locations

Location	Path	When it is the one
Steam per-game data	`C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<your SteamID3>\4813190\`	The game uses Steam's own per-app storage (common for Steam Cloud titles)
Windows app data	`%LOCALAPPDATA%\Camp Whittlewood\` or `%USERPROFILE%\Saved Games\Camp Whittlewood\`	The game keeps saves outside Steam's folder (common for Unreal/Unity titles)

<your SteamID3> is the number folder inside userdata — it is your account's, typically 9–11 digits. The game's app folder is 4813190, its Steam app ID.

How to back up saves

Close the game first — an open save file can be mid-write.
Copy the whole 4813190 folder (or whichever folder you found) somewhere outside Steam\userdata.
Before a patch, copy it again; the restore is just pasting the folder back with the game closed.

A simple routine: zip the folder after each ending you reach — this game ships multiple endings, and rotating backups mean one playthrough does not overwrite your route to the others.

FAQ
