I would place it next to other buildings. Do not place it next to your house or another villager’s house; that would just be too weird. You can try placing it next to Retail or Brewster’s, if you have one. I placed my wooden police station with Booker right next to my Brewster’s, and it looks great. The style of the wooden police station goes with the theme of my town better. I like to have the campsite in it’s own little area. That way, I could build a campfire and place little chairs around the tent to make it look more like a campsite. I understand what you mean as I have had trouble with placement before, but you’ll know where it looks best! I would tryvnect to Retail or the Town Hall! If you want to place it by itself, place it in an area away from villagers’ houses. I would place it next to a pond! I had a pond next to mine in my Gamecube version, and I think it looked amazing. That’s what I remember, at least.
