Prerequisite: Upgrade Resident Services
To make a Campsite, you'll need to have upgraded Resident Services first. Upgrading Resident Services will take some time, but be sure to complete this step first.
How to Upgrade Resident Services
Make a Campsite Construction Kit
After upgrading Resident Services, talk to Tom Nook and ask What should I do?. He'll give you the DIY Recipe for a Campsite Construction Kit, so craft it right away.

Choose Where to Put the Campsite
Choose where to put your Campsite. After you've laid the plot, wait for one day to pass and your Campsite will be complete
How to Use an amiibo at the Campsite
Use an amiibo to Add New Villagers
By using an amiibo with the Nook Stop in Resident Services, you can call a Villager to come to the Campsite. Then, you'll be able to invite that Villager to come and live on your Island.

What You Can Do at the Campsite
Get a Housing Kit from Tom Nook
If you invite a visitor at the Campsite to live on your Island and then talk to Tom Nook, he will give you a Housing Kit. You will need to pay 10,000 Bells to place this house somewhere on the Island. When the new Villager moves in, you will receive 1,000 Miles as a reward for finding a new Villager.
Invite new Villagers to your Island
Occasionally, visitors will come to stay at your campsite. If you have less than the maximum number of Villagers (8 total), you'll be able to invite these visitors to become Villagers on your Island. Be sure to add a Villager when you find someone who suits your island's style!
Tips and Tricks When Getting Villagers Using the Campsite
|
Villagers with Different Species are More Likely to Visit
If you want to get a specific villager, it is better to have villagers different than that species, or just use an amiibo instead.
There are No Campers During Events
Visitors will not come to the Campsite on the day of events such as Bunny Day, or Fishing Tourneys.
Campers Can Still Come Even if You Have 10 Villagers
Even if you have the max number of villagers, visitors can come to the Campsite, although rarely, so you do not need to kick out villagers in advance.
Random Campers will be Swapped with Your Recent Villager
If you have 10 residents and invite a random Campsite visitor to live on your island, they will replace your most recent villager or the last villager who wanted to move out.
Campsite Visitors Invited via amiibo will be Swapped with Your Chosen Villager
If you have 10 residents and invite a Campsite visitor using an amiibo, you can choose the villager to be replaced by the new one.
How to Win the Camper's Card Game
The cards are always random
Campsite visitors will determine via a card game whether or not to move to your island. Don't worry if you lose! Just keep talking to the camper to try again and again!
