The Campsite is a facility available for construction in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. In New Leaf, it is a public works project that costs 59,800 Bells to construct, and it cannot be demolished. In New Horizons the Campsite can be crafted and placed anywhere on the island. In both games, a villager can occupy the Campsite on random days, and if space is available, they can be invited to move in. The Campsite is only available for use by non-resident villagers, and allows a variety of special villager interactions with the camping villager known as minigames.

Campers accommodated by the Campsite are never seen to sleep, roam the town or shop, and tents or igloos disappear at six o'clock in the morning, only when the player activates the morning rise and shine by exiting a building. Campers will not appear on days if there is an event that goes on all day or if a holiday takes place that day.

Unlocking

The public works project for the Campsite is available as soon as the player is able to build public works projects. It costs 59,800 Bells, and it occupies a 3x3 space.

Usage

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, any non-resident villagers can stay at the Campsite, which includes villagers seen previously, in friend towns or previous town residents. Interacting with them have their special benefits. Players may obtain many furniture and items from campers when playing their minigames, and a player may convince a villager to move into their town.

If a town has nine villagers and a Campsite when the player convinces a camper to move in, the camper will take up the special tenth slot of the town. No unwarranted villagers will be able to move into a player's town if it has nine residents, unless they are StreetPassed into the town or invited when camping.

Having a camper in the town will not affect residents, as they will not talk about an occupied Campsite or a camping stranger. Booker and Copper will take note of this however, though they are only unlocked by constructing the Police Station.

Tent Campers

From February 25^th to December 10^th, campers that arrive for a visit on the town's Campsite will set up a tent on the town's Campsite. Inside, the villager may want to play a game with the player, if the player has 5,000 bells or more and has one or more space in their pockets. The player can obtain Camping Gear furniture from the villager along with regular kinds of furniture, which is selected at random. The villager can also ask to play a game to sell one of the player's furniture, wallpaper, flooring or even regular tools (not counting silver or gold items though).

Igloo Campers

From December 11^th to February 24^th, campers that arrive for a visit on the town's Campsite will set up an igloo on the town's Campsite. Inside, the villager may want to play a game with the player, if the player has 5,000 bells or more and has one or more space in their pockets. The player can obtain Winter Gear furniture from the villager along with regular kinds of furniture, which is selected at random. The villager can also ask to play a game to sell one of the player's furniture, wallpaper, flooring or even regular tools (not counting silver or gold items though).

Unlocking

Once Resident Services has been upgraded, if the player asks Tom Nook, "What should I do?", he will tell the player about building a Campsite, and he will give them a DIY recipe for a Campsite construction kit. Once the kit is crafted, the player can choose where to place it, and it will be built the following day. The day after the campsite is built, a random Smug villager will settle in, and is mandatory to let him move in the island.

Usage

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the Campsite acts similarly to New Leaf, where non-resident villagers can stay at the campsite and be invited to move in. Additionaly, an Animal Crossing amiibo card can be scanned to invite a specific villager to the Campsite. If there are no open spots for new villagers, a current resident can be evicted to allow the camper to move in. Additionally, the evicted villager can be "adopted" by another player and can move in to their town.
WARNING: There is a known glitch in the 1.1.1 update for New Horizons where the evicted villager will never come to the island when adopted, and their plot will forever remain vacant, preventing any new villagers from moving in.

Inviting via Amiibo

Amiibos may be used at the Nook Stop in Resident Services to invite characters to the campsite.

• Tom Nook is able to be contacted via Nook Stop, but unable to be invited to the campsite. When scanned, he mentions that you can visit him at Resident Services at any time!
• Mr. Resetti is unable to be contacted via Nook Stop.
