here are a couple facts before we get into the guide (+ why I prefer this over island hopping):

campsite villagers are influenced by what personalities you already have on your island (but not determined). you simply have a higher spawn rate of personalities you don’t have/lack of. for example, if you were searching for raymond, you would have the highest chances if you did not have any other smug villagers on your island. even by having 1 smug villagers, your chances of getting smug in your campsite are decently higher than 2+.

if you ignore the campsite visitor (someone you don’t want), they will not return to your island. this means the more you do this method = the more chances of getting the one your want, as it ELIMINATES others (if that makes sense). whereas via island hopping, you can see villagers multiple times.

you can easily kick out villagers you don’t like! (ONLY if you have 10 villagers already) let’s say you get a camper you want for your island, after you win the card game/or they decide to move without the game, they’ll ask to replace someone. when it comes up with the bubble saying who they want to replace (and they ask to replace someone you like), simply close the game (without saving - don’t fret, they’ll still be there!) and keep repeating until they ask to replace the villager you want off your island!

so how does this work?

so 6 days is when you have the highest chance for a villager to appear (20%). so time-travel 6 days and look out for isabelle’s announcements (and whether or not someone has arrived). if not, wait until she’s finished the announcements and you’re outside your house. change the date 1 day forward, save and exit (no need to close the game - just go back to the main screen). and repeat until she says there’s someone in the campsite! when you do + if it’s somebody you don’t want, time-travel 6 days forward and then start the process all over again. it’s as simple as that!
