Campsite Villager Cycling Method?

NMT tours is only good if you've got lots of miles to spare and you are looking for a decent villager (from a pool of many) to invite to your island. If you're looking for a specific villager (as in ONE specific villager and no one else), however, the campsite trick method is your best bet (if you're not against time travel and you're willing to lose a current villager of the same personality type).

The campsite method can be tedious but so does the NMT tour. What makes the campsite method more attractive though is that it's more streamlined (smaller pool of villagers and from most people's experiences no repeats) and most of all IT'S FREE. You don't waste anything but time and you can just go watch Netflix and mindlessly do it and you might end up with that specific villager in a couple hours (yes, even Raymond).
