I like finding a camped spawn. Sure you get plastered the first 4-5 times, but each time you get a better idea of where the campers are. Eventually you get a decent spawn, escape to cover, relax for a bit so the attention on you dies off, then sneak around and pop a couple. Before you know it, you have your own tent and campfire set-up....until they do the same. Beats driving 15min to a base and getting popped.
If that fails, up heavy with a few friends and reset the area.
