What Makes Forest Camp Story Stand Out
The great outdoors are calling! Create and run your own campground in this business management sim.
Get a lay of the land and find the best places to camp. Before you know it, customers will be setting up tents and taking pictures, making memories that will last a lifetime.
But it's not all about peace and solitude. With activities like bird watching, fly fishing, and horse riding, there's no shortage of ways to show your campers a good time!
No camping experience? No problem! Set up guided tours to show new campers the ropes, and they'll soon be coming back for more. If you play your cards right, you might get visits from rabbits, squirrels, and other cute critters too!
Don't be afraid to branch out and grow your business. Set up a camping goods store in nearby towns to earn extra cash and attract new customers. Get more people interested in your wares, and you might just spark a nationwide camping craze…
Answer the call of the wild and start creating the camp of your dreams!

Community Insight:
Love all of kairosoft games and this one is no different.
We love the game great way to pass the time. We like having goals to meet to move up but no time constraints.
Definitely one of our fav games of kairosoft!!! We love the ability to switch between the store and the camp, and the animals u can unlock are super cute!! 10/10.
Enjoy the pace of this Less pop up boxes during the game play which is good Less strategic placements allows more creative in planning However the bulldozer land formation doesnt work as expected.
We like the pace of this game and how it has a lot but its not too complicated. There arent combos and roads arent required, which gives more flexibility.
Wouldnt have thought managing both a camp and a camping store would be so much fun. Thats rightyou get two locations for the price of one! The fun is seeing how they interact.
This is now one of our favorite kairosoft games. Its addicting for sure.
Thank you to Kairosoft we have killed hours and hours with them. Our girlfriend gets mad at us everytime we play because apparently we play too much but thats ok. Ill still support you guys 100%.
Really relaxing :) and the gameplay is more abundant.
Similar to Tropical Resort story, lots of longevity in this one. Havent tied new game plus yet but we plan to.
We absolutely adore this game, the art is beautiful as always and this game takes decoration to a new level with the beautiful character art a gorgeous day night cycle and just the most serine and cozy kairosoft games to date. This, spa story 2, and dream home story are just our absolute favorites to build and create it. The only thing that would make this game better is a creative sandbox mode hah.
Great game, well worth the money.
They never disappoint. Another great game. Keep it up.
This game is a lot of fun, you can do so much in it. Kairosoft is the best mobile game maker out there.
We have purchased just about every mobile game by Kairosoft. This oneit is one of our favorites. The creative freedom and ability to freely map out your campsite property is quite excellent. It also adds the store management side hustle to keep you coming back for more. Ive clocked some serious time on this game, as such, here are our consbut really, it will depend on the individual player and their respective preferences. 1.) Id love if your store inventory was easier to change and adjust on a larger scale to match season popularity without losing current stock. Replenishing stock unfortunately becomes a constant worryas it only restocks everything once every 3 months. There is not an individual restock option or token. You either trade research points for the full-store refill tokenor you change the item stocked on any number of shelves only to have to wait for the next restock (time & in-game camp store profits beware). 2.) Buying/expanding the campsite property (and that of the camping supply store) gets insanely expensive rather quickly. Everything becomes crowded and frustrating. Removing the rogue trees and plants, even more expensive and time consuming. 3.) The landscaping/hill-building/etc. Is definitely a neat addition by way of creative freedoms, BUT admittedly makes it VERY difficult (and frustrating) to get a satisfactory layout due to the hill requirements. This is actually the point when we stop playingor start a fresh save. 4.) Burning Question: DO WE NOT NEED TO USE SIDEWALKS/PATHWAYS OR WHAT?! For real though, we dont understand why we have the option of making paths if it is unnecessary to the functionality of the campground. That just makes it a waste of space. The above notes are only those gained through HOURS upon HOURS of playing this gem. The aforementioned notes are those that indeed, make our brain hurtbut we still love you Kairosoft. Never stop, Kairosoft. That list aside, this is a genuinely fun game. For reference our other favorite Kairosoft games are(and in no particular order!): Hot Springs Story 2, SkiResort Story, GameDev Story(obvi), Golf Planner, and DungeonV2.
Once again..thank god for kairosoft.
Im a huge fan of Kariosoft. No Matter the game, we will play it. This one in particular we like.
This is a super cute game. We enjoyed it but we think out of all the Kairosoft games Ive played, this is probably one of the ones we think we could play for months at a time. Above average to us but not terrible.
We were excited to play this since Ive been a kairosoft fan for years. This one though left us a bit unsatisfied. The map looked exciting at first but it soon felt very small and limited as we couldnt really expand as much as we wanted and to satisfy the guests, you have to stack the planes extra high for some and it gives very little space. Plus theres only one kind of map and you couldnt try other layouts. The store was a fun addition and enjoyable all in all. To give you an idea, our favorites from the developers are: Hot spring 1, world cruise, cafe nipponica, dream house.
Ive loved kariosoft games for years and years, our favorites being sushi spinnery, pocket stables, pocket clothier, and game dev, amongst a few others. This one is a good concept but unfortunately we didnt find ourselves getting hooked, and we think that was due to progression. It felt a bit slow and formulaic, with not much in between spending and saving sprees. Usually these games have us hooked and coming back for hours on end, but with this one we played for about 3 hours straight, then couldnt find ourselves wanting to open the app again. This could entirely just be our own experience, but we believe the concepts of the new ones right now like tropical resort and convince store might just be a better fitting theme for us. Overall, give it a try! Its good fun as always but just felt slower and not much to keep us personally engaged for very long.
Cute game but crashed and would not open upon turning screen lock on, had to delete app and reinstall and lost our progress.
UPDATE: Changing this from a one star to five star! A few days after writing our original review complaining about a game (and save file)-breaking bug, the games been updated and the bug is gone! Now to the game itself: Its an amazingly relaxing camping sim in the same vein as other Kairosoft games. Cute, fun, and with ever increasing numbers and research projects, making a camp thats fun looking AND useful is an enjoyable challenge! One interesting aspect of this game is that you dont just manage a campground, but you also manage a store in town that sells camping gear! In a cool attention to detail, the goods you sell in city will also show up on the campers that come to your campgrounds.
Im surprised at how easy it is to get ahead in this game compared to other Kairosoft titles. The discovery of combos and unique tiems/characters in other games was a great part of the fun when balanced out against making income. Making income is way too easy. Our main problem now is we cant move the store to the next town. Every time it is ready to move, the game crashes. And, since we cant read Japanese (which is the language the error message is presented in), we have no idea what is going wrong. Very disappointed and will be seeking a refund for the game. We are running an iPad Pro with iOS 14.3.1.
We keep getting an error message in the game and then the app crashes. Please fix.
Amazing! Havent played a Kairosoft game in a while and this reminded us of exactly why we love them so much! Worth the price! Super satisfying and addicting. Great gameplay.
Our favorite game right now! So relaxing fun and addicting :).
Thank all staffs for your great creations.
A lot of people will tell you this game is Kairosofts best yet. To many of their titles. However Forest Camp Story may actually take that title. For many years Kairosoft has released a ton of fun titles. Some challenging, some relaxing. However some mired by issues regarding combo systems and upkeep draining your funds before you actually know what youre doing. Camp Story is the first Kairosoft game Ive played where we didnt feel like we needed a guide to move forward. You can learn from trial and error, and the systems are far more beginner-friendly. With a reliance on popularity and scenery in replace of combo systems, you can really truly decorate your camp to your hearts desire without sacrificing looks to place combo buildings together. It only gets better when you add in the store. Camp Story combines both the fun of running a store and running a campsite without feeling like youre going to run yourself into a corner without meaning to. As if its found a perfect union of whats made its previous titles fun. It makes us excited for what future titles in Kairosoft hold. Taking the refined mechanics of this game and applying them to future titles and sequels. Perhaps a Dream Home Days sequel that removes the impossible block of utilities becoming too high for tenants to pay eventually? Or an Animal Park Story sequel that allows more freedom with making your own park? Or will they take the core concepts of Forest Camp Story further and make something that surprises all of us? Only the future may tell, and Im excited to see what they create next. Until then, back to our campsite.
We really love these games! We do think you would really benefit off of a hospital or airport game.
Hello kariosoft developers and people who are seeing this we love this game we would just like you do a theme park game because we think a theme park game would be great and we love this game to.
YESS!! Im addicted all over again. A perfect game, super relaxing, and keeps you going with new things and goals! Its easy to learn, and a lot of fun. Thank you Kairosoft.
Addicting game, played it for 6 hours nonstop.
More simple and fun! Love this one.
This is exactly the kind of kairosoft game we want. Its fun, cute, lots to do, easy to learn. This whole game is so charming and makes us feel like we did playing some of our other favorites like Cruiseship story, hot springs, ski resort, and The Megamall. We love that we can alter terrain and add water to the landscape and that the pathing for the visitors is better. Visitors can walk through/around everything to get to where they need to go so its easier to place buildings and decorate. Thank you for those improved features. We definitely recommend this game.
Really straightforward and easy, steady income from the store makes it all pretty quick. One of our favorites from them.
Its exactly what kairosoft fans want in a game. Super chill and satisfying. We played through twice it was so good. Lots to unlock. With managing the store and campground it Feels like two games but isnt annoying or tedious. 10/10.
Im sure itd be a great game to play! We just bought it and it will not open:( It just keeps glitching.
