Campsite villager frequency?

[KiwiFlavouredBubbles]

Does anyone know if there's anything that affects when a villager will use the campsite, or if it's completely random?
I started playing my game when it came out on March 20, and aside from the initial visitor we had to invite, I've only had one villager use it.

I did some TTing day-by-day today to see if I could find another one and they didn't come until the very end of May, and I had trouble finding any more after that.
(Found another after TTing a year forward lmao, but nothing after).
Not sure if I just have really bad luck or if there's something that might be affecting it that I'm missing??

i also TT and I have only seen 3 campsite villagers in addition to the 1st. i encountered two at the end of each month but when i tt'd to the end of another month, nothing. all random imo. no pattern that i can discern in regards to how many days it take to spawn.

Honestly, its probably all just bad luck. I've only seen two campers myself. The campsite is definitely designed to make use of Amiibo mostly.

i agree with the campsite really being for amiibo. ive only had 1 random visitor since the initial one :/

I TT a bit now and TT'ed quite a lot at the start of the game and have only had 2 visitors to my campsite aside from the initial one. It doesn't happen often at all. I've really only used it when inviting in amiibo campers.

Ahh, dang. At least I'm not the only one seeing barely any campers.
Kinda sad they're so uncommon, though.
Was hoping it would make it easier to find new villagers, but I guess not.

I TT to find a good jock via campsite (I have 10 villagers and missing jock personality). I found him in about 4 month of TT (12 Augustus) and during this time I had 9 campers.

I had my first camper on 29th March (Julian), second one on 7th April (Admiral), third one on 14th April (Wade), and fourth one on 19th April (Cheddar). It seems to me that we should expect one camper per week or I am just getting lucky with the frequency.

i've only had one since the game started and i've TT'd a little bit (like, only 3 days ahead lol). the campsite villager appeared when one of my 10 was moving out. not sure if that was a coincidence, or what.

i heard that you'll find campers more often, if you have one (or more) free space on your island. If you are full, it's much rarer, what i find very sad, because i liked the mini games you could play in New Leaf with certain personalities a lot
i started the game on 20th of march too, used TT for a few months and just had 1 villager there..

 

[fakemuseum]

starting day 1, I only have 1 camper so far

 

[birdsquad]

I've been constantly TTing one day ahead at a time to attempt to cycle my villagers out and I think I average about 1 campsite visit per month. Kinda wish it was more often to be honest :/

Chances are really low :/

From official guide:

Days since the last camper left	1 day	2 days	3 days	4 days	5 days	6 days+
Chance of new camper	0%	0%	5%	10%	15%	20%

Damn... thanks for the information

oh damn. that's really LOW. this + add the fact that moving out is much rare (=rare to have a free open plot as well for island villager) they don't want us to meet villagers at this point LOL

what's the reason for this???? even people who TT rarely meets villagers, what more for those of us who doesn't

 

[Krissi2197]

Does island ranking have anything to do with it? Cause the day I hit 5 stars I got my first camper since my mandatory one. Or was that just a coincidence?

I think they're using the camp for amiibo more this time around. Because you can visit Nook Islands and essentially meet tons of random "campers" a day, they may not see a need for campsite villagers as much as they did.

I reset my campsite a lot (this is how I got Judy and Raymond) and from personal experience, you get a tent more frequently when you have less than 10 villager plot so it works better when you're just starting your island or haven't put down all the plot yet. It usually takes 3-10 days until you get another tent though there will be times that you can go as far 20+ days without one. You can campsite reset a specific villager personality, like if you're lacking a lazy villager, the game will give you more lazy campers but it's not always guaranteed that you will only get that specific personality every time.

That is... really sad LOL. I wonder why they made the chance so low? I always thought it was fun getting random visits in New Leaf.
Seems they're definitely focusing on using amiibos with it, but when running into new villagers on islands is dependent upon you having an open plot (which only lasts a day), feels kinda lame. ):

Oof. Kinda makes me regret putting all 10 down already
My RNG for island hopping is so bad, I was trying to do what you did to find a villager, but lmao.

The odds are very low! I've been keeping my data, and found it to be less than 10% so far, but I don't have nearly enough data to make any formal conclusions about the campsite spawn rate. Thanks to whoever posted the official guide's stats though, that is our bets indicator of the campsite spawn rate!

20% is not bad IMO
