Halted Stream Camp

 is a location encountered in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Description
Halted Stream Camp is a fortified bandit encampment located Northwest of the Whitewatch Tower, north of Whiterun. It has become a base of operation for bandits who are hunting mammoths for their tusks. The camp is surrounded by a log palisade and there are mammoth bones around the camp. There is a wooden building in the center of the camp with a tanning rack. On the north section of the elevated walkway there is a grindstone.

Halted Stream Camp Mine
The camp is built next to the cliff wall with an entrance into a mine. The mine is full of Iron Ore veins and is the main living quarters of the bandits. At the end of the mine you will find a forge, grindstone and tanning rack. The exit at the back of the mine leads to a pit trap the bandits have been using to kill mammoths.

Bugs

 * There is a quest bug in this dungeon relating to the College of Winterhold. You will receive a quest from the College librararian Urag gro-Shub, to obtain any of the books from Fetch me that Book!, which is located in the boss chest. However if you pick up the book before you receive the quest the game won't allow you to ever turn in the book and will still assume the book is located inside the chest. Furthermore the book the tagged as a quest item and cannot be dropped. Despite it weighing 1 lb, it seems through some testing is has zero weight. (drop every single item in your inventory leaving only the book and you should have 0 carry weight). In summary - do not pick up Remanada until you receive the quest to do so!
