Campsite: Day Nine 2

Learn how to decorate your campsite in Animal Crossing: New Horizons to make your island more appealing and attract more tourists. Get tips for traditional and tropical vibes!

Alright, so you’ve officially built your campsite! That’s a huge step. Now, the game’s nudging you to pretty up the area around it. Think of it like this: the nicer your island looks, the more visitors it’ll draw in. It’s all about that island appeal!

Don’t expect anyone to show up today, though. The campsite’s opening day is visitor-free. But keep an eye out over the next few days – Isabelle will announce when someone’s decided to crash at your campsite during the morning broadcast. You’ll also see a new tent pop up on the campsite platform, so you’ll know for sure when you have a guest.

If you’re drawing a blank on how to decorate, let’s go for a classic campsite vibe. If your campsite is tucked away in a foresty spot, adding a campfire and some hay bales would really nail that rustic feel. A clothesline would be a nice touch too!

Honestly, though, you can decorate with whatever makes you happy. If your campsite is near the beach, lean into that tropical theme! You could plant more palm trees, or even craft some shell furniture if you’ve got the DIY recipes. Speaking of recipes, if you’ve been stocking up at Nook’s Cranny, you can now grab the Wildest Dreams DIY set. It’s got some cool new recipes, including one for a Hearth. That would be perfect for a beach campsite, but you’ll need to find a mystery island with bamboo first to craft it. The hearth even has a little fish roasting on it – how cute is that?

Whatever style you choose, definitely take some time to add furniture and flowers. It might seem like just decorating now, but it’ll really help boost your island's overall rating later on.
