Hey guys! I thought I would also share my campsite trick experience. It took me 2 days real life time to do this. 45 villagers and 28 smugs later, I found the stupid cat with glasses. First, here are all the villagers I encountered, I always find it fun to read through other people's list so here's mine.
I'm not sure if it's because of the recent update, but I found myself getting a new campsite visitor every 2 weeks or so consistently near the end. If it is because of the patch I'm glad they fixed it. I had 0 smugs so I did get an overwhelming favor in smug visitors. Marshal was my 33rd one which was very painful to let go of, but I knew Raymond would be harder to get in the long run through trade or sale, so I decided to leave him behind for now.
It might take some people longer or shorter, it's all RNG basically. I also stopped TTing every few days to talk to my villagers, see if anyone is moving out, and pick up all the weeds because they make me irrationally angry when I see there is a lot of them (anyone else feel this way?).
Would I do this again? Absolutely not. It takes an incredible amount of patience and time to do this. And although I am very happy to finally have Raymond, the hardest part wasn't even doing the campsite trick, it was CONVINCING him to move in and pick the right villager to move out. In my case it was Marina. I don't remember it being this hard in New Leaf, but the card game is basically luck and if you lose you have to start the game over. And sometimes they can just FLAT OUT REFUSE to move in at all! Like how dare you come to my island, say that you wish you can live here and compliment my island to high heaven, and once I invite you, YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO SAY NO BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T COME UP WITH AN ACCEPTANCE SPEECH YET?! After about the 6th time in a row Raymond refused to move in, I promised myself I would send this ungrateful little fart, trash everyday for all of the stress and grief he has given me.

It took me 2 hours total to both convince him to move in and also get him to pick Marina to move out. Marina went to my friend's island where we will coparent her together, and I finally have this ungrateful little cat on my island. Thank you everyone who convinced me and told me not to give up. Was it worth it in the end? I suppose? I'll never do this process again for sure, but I am glad to finally have him.

It took me 2 hours total to both convince him to move in and also get him to pick Marina to move out. Marina went to my friend's island where we will coparent her together, and I finally have this ungrateful little cat on my island. Thank you everyone who convinced me and told me not to give up. Was it worth it in the end? I suppose? I'll never do this process again for sure, but I am glad to finally have him.
