There are three little easter egg camps, each on a random island. This achievement is awarded for finding all three. If you want to skip visiting every single island to look for them, then here's how to find them in in seed # 78033592. There are probably better seeds than this; this just happened to be the one I played on.
If you don't know how to use that seed, select a new save slot, then open the Cartographer in the main menu. Bottom left click on "Create New World", then enter the seed. The result should look like this:
I have circled all three camps, and noted the one with Wolley/Wollie on it for that achievement too. If you set the game to Creative difficulty and Passive enemies then you can just swim to all three from the start. I'm fairly sure that swimming is faster than the life raft you start in, since I was able to swim faster than my raft a few times after falling off of it with the sail up. Just grab the compass first. It took me about 25 minutes to swim to all three. The starter island is the red circled one in the middle.
Loot each camp to make sure you were close enough to get credit. Also remember to grab the volleyball for the Special Package achievement
Screenshot of each camp:

With the compass and the map above, you should find it easy enough to get to all three, but just in case, here's a video of me doing it from a new save. In case your draw distance differs from mine, all my settings are on the Medium preset. I recommend watching at least at 2x speed.

Thanks, the map worked, I made the mistake of not opening the chest at the volleyball camp and had to backtrack though to get the achievement.

Glad it worked. I've updated the solution with a reminder to loot each camp

That Said -
It's Important to Note Two Things and thats why Im listing this as a Solution
- You Do not have to Pick up everything from every Island, I picked it all up, even nearby rocks, putting Mega Stress on my inventories Limits-
When I got to the third Island I picked up One Rock, and hit tab to open the chest on the ground and it Popped, even though there was an axe on the ground in front of me.
--Which Means--
The Achievement isn't about picking it all up, It's about picking up SOMETHING from each camp,
but more importantly
You Have to Walk into the Remnants, and you have to do it ALL IN ONE SESSION
I took a break inbetween islands on my first attempt and it didnt pop -
Second Attempt - I didnt Walk into the First remnant building - When I got to the Third it didnt Pop.
Third Attempt, Didnt pick everything Up - Did do it all in one session, And Did Make sure to Hop around inside each house with a skeleton. Popped.
Goodluck!
