Camptown
Camptown is a small town located by the seaside in the foothills. A local train line runs through the town where the occasional train will stop at Camptown Station, allowing tourists and traveling merchants to visit. The shopping district is located on Main Street, just across the tracks and up the hill. On Main Street, several shops are open for business, including Nook's Homes, The Able Sisters, Nookling Junction, and the Happy Home Showcase. In addition, the Post Office can be found here alongside several buildings that remain shuttered and vacant. At the end of the street sits the newly-opened Camptown Museum, managed by Blathers the curator. Re-Tail is another shop in Camptown, run by married couple Reese and Cyrus. While not on Main Street, the recycle shop can be found near the town hall and town plaza. On the eastern edge of town is the local campground, accessible by a dirt road that allows for visitors to park their campers at the campground and visit town. A new resident by the name of Kevin recently moved into town and began his job as mayor, working alongside his secretary, Isabelle, to help Camptown grow into a developed town with a thriving population. Since his debut as mayor, the town has begun a journey of growth and development, with the opening of the Garden Center shop run by Leif, and the construction of a fountain, a cobblestone bridge, a suspension bridge by the waterfall, and bench by the beach-side cliffs.

Visitors, tourists, and traveling merchants are welcome to Camptown. The Chamber of Commerce has the ability to grant licenses and permits to traveling merchants looking to visit town or set up shop at the town plaza. Others have worked out a schedule with the commerce council on when they will be visiting town, such as Joan the turnip vendor, who visits every Sunday to offer her wares, while some will appear periodically such as Chip when he hosts various fishing tourneys.

Former Residents
The following are former residents of Camptown, having moved away to a new village.

Pocket Camp
In the mountains is a popular campsite frequented by a number of tourists and is run by Isabelle, who serves as the assistant manager of the campsite. The campsite manager is a young man named Charlie and has recently taken over operations of the campsite, as he manages the layout of the campgrounds as well as the available amenities to guests. He also maintains the nearby flower gardens and works to fulfill requests in order to approve the applications of incoming campers. Since then, a number of tourists have visited the campsite, though only 8 campers may reside at the campsite at any given time. This exclusivity has positively impacted the campsite's brand as flocks of tourists have visited the region with hopes of being invited to visit the campsite and join its membership list.

In addition to the campsite run by Charlie and Isabelle, there are several destinations popular among tourists, with many setting up tents or parking their campers, including Lost Lure Creek, Sunburst Island, Saltwater Shores, and Breezy Hollow. After the campsite saw tremendous growth, Isabelle and Charlie opened up a cabin as more lodging for tourists visiting the mountains. Since its opening, the cabin has undergone renovations and re-opened as a cafe, complete with a coffee counter and dining room, as well as a lounge with a stage for live musical performances.

West of the campsite is the market place, which is an outdoor shopping plaza with a rotating selection of vendors where tourists can browse the wares available for sale that day. Taking advantage of the business boom are Timmy and Tommy of Nookling Global, Mable and Sable of Able Sisters To Go, and Kicks of Kicks. When not welcoming guests at the campsite, Isabelle can be found at the market place where she set up a tent as an office to meet with guests and process paperwork.

To the north are additional businesses beneficial to tourists and the campsite management alike. OK Motors, an auto garage specializing in camper customization, is run by a trio of ravens named Giovanni, Carlo, and Beppe. They are able to expand the interior of campers as well as provide a variety of paint jobs. The local branch of the Happy Home Academy allows for members to present their interior design skills and earn medals in each class to advance through the ranks of the academy. The Shovelstrike Quarry is full of ore that visitors may mine and exchange for crafting materials and bells, depending on the rarity of the gems dug up.
