To get rid of Barbarian encampments in Civ 6, you can use combat units to enter the tile of the outpost and disperse the clan, earning experience points for the dispersing unit, or you can use naval raider units to perform a Coastal Raid and eliminate the encampment. By accumulating progression points for each separate clan through the Barbarian Clans mode, you can also civilize the Barbarian Clan and turn it into a full-fledged city-state.

Understanding how Barbarian encampments work is crucial to effectively getting rid of them. Barbarian camps can respawn over time, but never on land that is occupied by a player within their borders.
