How to Use the Send to Camp Option in Baldur's Gate 3

In Baldur's Gate 3, open an item's context menu and choose Send to Camp to move an eligible item out of your carried inventory. Visit camp and open the Traveller's Chest to retrieve it. Send surplus supplies or gear you plan to use later. Keep the equipment and consumables you expect to need before the next camp visit.

Send a test item and find it at camp

1. Open the inventory of the character holding the item.
2. Open the item's context menu. Select Send to Camp if the option is available.
3. Confirm the item is gone from the carried inventory. If you sent a stack, check how many remain.
4. Visit camp when the game allows it. Find the Traveller's Chest and look for the test item.
5. Retrieve it and check which character received it before returning to the field.

Start with an inexpensive item you can recognize. This tells you what the command does and where the result goes before you move gear you need. Don't test by sending your only copy of an essential item while you are somewhere you may have trouble leaving.

Keep the chest separate from the inventories of companions who are standing in camp. If you are looking for an item after sending it, open the actual storage first. A companion who happens to be nearby won't automatically be carrying what you sent there.

Store gear based on when you need it

Send equipment you are saving for a future character or build. Check the item before moving it if you use several similar pieces. A weapon you won't need until the next level can wait in storage. An alternate weapon you intend to switch to in the next room should stay with the party.

For a long stretch of exploration, carry a practical supply of healing items, tools, and useful scrolls. Send extras after deciding what the party can afford to leave behind. A lighter inventory can help, but it won't help if the item you need during a fight is back at camp.

For example, if you loot several heavy weapons and only one is a real upgrade, keep that one where you can inspect and equip it. Send the rest if you plan to sell or compare them later. Check your character's remaining inventory after the transfer. Keep the tool or quest item that the next interaction may require.

Use the chest to organize supplies between trips

At camp, open the Traveller's Chest and review what you sent. Take out the items for the next trip, then leave the rest. If you collect different gear for multiple characters, organize it when you have time to check the tooltips. Avoid relying on your memory after several long runs.

Camp supplies are a useful storage candidate. Check how the rest interface finds them on your current version and confirm the amount it offers before starting a long rest. Keep ordinary recovery consumables accessible when you need them in the field. Decide where each item goes based on the action you will use it for.

When you find a useful item in the chest, move it to the character who needs it and equip it if appropriate. Check the actual loadout before leaving. Taking an item from storage doesn't automatically place it in the slot you meant to use.

Fix an item you can't find or send

If the option doesn't appear, check the item and the context you are in. Some items or situations can restrict the action. Try a known ordinary item once to confirm how the menu works. Keep the restricted item with the appropriate character until you know what it is needed for.

If the item vanished from your inventory, visit camp and check the Traveller's Chest. Clear filters and inspect stacks of similar items. If you are in multiplayer, confirm which player's storage or inventory you are viewing. Check the original character too if you weren't sure the command completed.

Before leaving camp, verify your equipped gear, recovery supplies, and any item needed for the next objective. Then use Send to Camp during the next trip for things you can safely leave until you return.
