Low campsite spawn rates?

[ctar17]

The spawn rate for the campsite must be really low. Other than the one you get right when you build the campsite, I've only had 1 other visitor and that was over a week and a half ago (March 31). It was Al, so I didn't invite him.

Have you all experienced the same thing?

I’ve also had only one ever after the forced smug villager.

I’ve also only had one other villager in my campsite.. I think it’s meant to encourage us to go on mystery tours, but I miss the excitement of wondering who’s in the tent this time

 

[ctar17]

Same. I also really like the mystery islands and campsite in general. The villagers are random but you get to choose whether or not to invite the villager the game gives you. Perfect balance of randomness but still a choice. Not upset about getting stuck with someone you hate, but not too much power that you get overwhelmed with choosing. It's exciting

you guys are getting campers?

I've been playing every day and haven't even got one since the forced tutorial one lol

I invited an amiibo (Ankha) for 3 days in a row to get her to move in, but outside of that, I haven't had any campers outside of the first forced one.

it’s REALLY low this time around, even with an empty plot i’ve heard. aside from the first mandatory one, only had 1 visitor since. wish there was a trick or something to have better chances. let’s say you’ve met the requirements for a beautiful island or something. that should get you more campers.

I actually had 4 in a row at one time but since then I have had none

 

[pocky]

none since the forced tutorial camper though i scan amiibos daily for the free diy recipes

are you always scanning the same ones? if yes do you know if there's a cap on how many recipes an amiibo villager can give you/wants you to craft?

Wait, you get recipes from the Amiibo campers?

they ask you to craft something & if you don't already have the recipe they'll give it to you
but you can't get duplicate's from them

i time travelled specifically to see how often i would get campers... 1, not including the original, within 60 in game days...
when i finally got one it was pango and i was quite excited but i spent 15 minutes trying to win her card game to get her to move in before i finally just gave up :'(

Hi guys, I am having an extraordinary time with my campsite right now...

Before the Easter event, I had 10 villagers, and TT'd my way to Summer 1 day at a time. I then went back to Easter for the event, and went one day at a time again back to Summer. I didn't find a single campsite villager either time I went forward.

It's literally been ~3-4 months ingame for me, so there's definitely a mechanism that stops it from working.

 

[Mechikoko]

I've had only 1 since the first. Now I invite with amiibo cards since i want to stock up on new DIYs

I've only ever gotten the first, forced one. I wish I understood the decisions Nintendo made regarding move-ins in this game. Some of them are quite odd.

it’s really odd.
even the way you have to craft for the first 3 move-ins was odd? it felt like a DIY tutorial, but then the villagers suffer from getting a house with an interior that’s not meant for them.

 

[coderp]

There's a way to work the system on campsite villagers... My brother and I both have 10 villagers, yet he is getting campsite visitors 2-3 times per week, while I haven't got one in 4 months. No idea what the cause is. Both 3-star towns, equally progressed.

 

[Hsn97]

I didn’t think we got random campers anymore! I got the first forced one and one I invited with an amiibo and then nothing and that was 2 weeks ago.

Yeah, I liked the tutorial aspect, didn't like the end result of their houses being the way they were.

It's also... From what people have been saying, villagers take forever to want to move out here, and they can't leave until you speak to them, but they can also take forever to move in randomly and the campsite sits empty most of the time. It just feels like they went way overboard fixing the "problem" of people's dreamies moving out & being replaced by "undesirable" villagers after they decided to take a break from the game for a week or two.
