That looks great so far, love iso
Latest WIP
I added some trees, to see if I could get the right feel for isometric trees. Is it clear that the trees continue up, but are cut off for the sake of clarity?
Hehe, nice, at first I thought those were the Lemon brigade but then I realized those weren't Lemon slices over the doors
Oh yeah, and welcome to the guild!

I've got a similar tree issue with my map. I think you might achieve a better effect by putting a transparency gradient over the stumps, so that the trees fade out rather than end in what looks like a stump.
I'd leave the stumps without the dashed lines, they look fitting as stumps since you need firewood for the fire. As for other trees, I'd use full trees as a curtain behind the tents to isolate the campsite and create the dark and ominous mood setting. In the foreground use some bushes and rocks. Looks great so far, though.

December/January Challenge:isometric campsite update
### LATEST WIP ###
Added a stream and a few trees. I'm still trying to get some trees into the foreground without cluttering up the map too much.
@Ascension: I went with the suggestion of making the trees stumps.
@DEDDESO: Freehand in Photoshop. The grid is a quick render from 3DSMax to get the height distortion for the stream.
Awesome!!
