Camp New Hayven Map and Details
Camp New Hayven is built into the natural caves of Smokey Mountain. Camp is continually being expanded as needed, new caves are explored and made safe. However, the camp tries to keep to only the space they need due to the risks of ponies becoming lost in the cave's maze like depths. How deep the cave system goes is yet unknown. There are many nooks and crannies that are going unused as they are too small or narrow to do much more then act as places to hide or hangout with other ponies in.

Camp Entrance: Celestia’s Gate - Primary cave entrance that faces South. Named for the princess of light as this is a focal point for light within the cave. A system of mirrors placed by ponies in the early days of camp reflect light back into the tangle of cavern tunnels to help shed light in its darkest corners.
Resource Repository - Storehouse for food, water, wood, assorted rocks and minerals, etc
Armory - Store room for constructed or salvaged weapons
Genesee’s Quarters - the leader’s bed chambers as well as receiving office. This cave is also used for head pony meetings to decide camp action and future goals.
Medical Grotto - medical center for injured ponies as well as the sleeping chambers for medical primary role ponies. this is also the medical training grounds.
Medical Store - herb drying and storehouse
Dining Hallow - gathering place for camp ponies during meals
Common Quarters - a large central cave meant for recreation, general meeting space, and camp gatherings and announcements. This is the epicenter of camp life.
Gathering Nook - an outcropping in the wall that is out of the main path and corridor, often used for waiting for team members to arrive or checking for daily posted Secondary roles (chores) on the back wall. This is also where ponies gather to hear important announcements from their leader or from ponies wanting their opinions heard.
Keepsake-Cavern - a library of precious items that may have once been common but are now rare from the destruction of war, such as books, art, and historical objects brought to the camp by refugees who salvaged them. This place is open for all camp ponies to browse, but nothing is allowed to leave the cave.
Barracks - This immense cavern is used for all types of battle and survival training and is also the sleeping chambers for Camp Soldiers and militant defense ponies (Immediate family members of soldiers/defense team are allowed to stay here as well).
Luna’s Chambers - A large cavern that houses individual sleeping shelters for general public, named for the princess of the dark mostly to bring comfort to the refugee ponies who sleep in a place unlike home.
Latrines - bathroom. There are 3 latrines throughout the camp.
Catacombs - tunnels leading to the lower, and mostly unexplored, chambers of the cave system and generally off limits areas of the cavern. These caves run below the main camp and become very narrow and tight in many areas, as well as damp as they draw closer to deeper ground water. The passages by Luna's Chambers lead down to the western exit that has been carved out by a rushing underground river. These caves are extremely tricky to navigate, and ponies have been lost in their depths, forever.
Underground river/Emergency exit - used as a last resort path to lead ponies out from the cavern in an emergency, this chamber holds a rushing underground river that rises and falls unexpectedly. Ponies are forced to walk along a narrow edge hugging the wall aside the river to work their way to a lower cave opening on the mountain's west slope.
