Having a campsite in Animal Crossing: New Horizons can be a super aesthetic little addition to your island. As well as the aesthetic value of making a campsite, the process is also fun and therapeutic. With many of us having missed out on our usual summer holidays, having a cozy virtual campsite can somewhat make up for this.
However, you might be needing some inspiration. The many items and customization options available can often be a little overwhelming. Are you looking to change your island up? Maybe after months of gameplay, you don’t have a lot of space and need some smaller campsite ideas?
Wherever you fall, we’ve got you covered with these super cool Animal Crossing: New Horizons campsite ideas. If you’ve not yet built the campsite, the below steps explain how.
How To Unlock The Campsite?
To unlock the campsite, you will first need to:
- Pay off your getaway package debt and upgrade your tent to a house.
- Provide the materials required by the Nooklings to build Nookโs Cranny.
- Build a bridge.
- Craft the required items for three homes and have three new villagers move in.
- After completing these steps, the Residents Services building will be built.
How To Build The Campsite?
After you have upgraded the Residents Services building from a tent to a building, you must do the following:
- Talk to Tom Nook and select the ‘What should I do?’ option twice. This will prompt the tanuki to share his desire for K.K. Slider to visit the island and put on a show. Tom Nook wishes to invite K.K. Slider, however, he wants to build a campsite first.
- Tom Nook will ask for your help in building the campsite and therefore will give you the campsite construction kit recipe .
- Next you must craft the kit at a workbench using 15x iron nuggets, 15x wood, 15x softwood and 15x hardwood.
- After crafting the kit, you need to find a spot to place it. The location you choose will mark where the campsite will be built.
After choosing a spot for the campsite, return to the Residents Services building. Talk with Tom Nook and the building of the campsite will begin. After building the campsiste and unlocking the game’s amiibo feature, you will be able to add and remove residents to your island.

In previous games, players were limited when decorating their Able Sisters and Nook’s Cranny exteriors. Pixelated paths were basically the only way of landscaping in Animal Crossing: Wild World. I remember trying to spruce up my Animal Crossing: Wild World shops by using mismatched flowers from Tom Nook (when I wasn’t putting them around my house).
I also remember crudely insulting the tanuki tycoon onย the bulletin board, but thatโs for another time (and probably another place). But even using flowers to decorate was difficult due to the darn pavement beneath the shops.
Even in Animal Crossing: New Leaf, the shopping area was unchangeable. Additionally, players couldnโt curve paths, terraform, or place furniture outside. Therefore the addition of theseย featuresย to Animal Crossing: New Horizons is what makes the game so attractive.
Make your buildings stand out
Players just have so much more freedom and ways to be creative when it comes to exterior design. However, the sudden abundance of tools given to us can be a little daunting. Somehow staring at plain grass doesnโt seem to help inspiration to hit any faster.
Not used to decorating the exteriors of shops in the games, I had no clue where to start. The outside areas of Able Sisters and Nookโs Cranny on my island remained pitifully drab until REALLY recently. Are you in the same boat? Get inspired by these Nook’s Cranny exteriors from Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

Having had so much time pass since the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, it’s no secret or surprise that inspiring island design ideas are everywhere. We’ve seen (and shown) examples ofย gorgeous gardens,ย wonderful waterfalls,ย cool campsites (to name just a few areas!)ย from the game. As inspiration is everywhere, you may feel you have finished decorating your island.
I thought I had, until I realised there were a few areas that looked a bit bare. Two examples of areas that I didn’t know what to do with were my island’s peninsula and its rocky areas. The pier in Animal Crossing: New Horizons (known as the dock in previous games), has also proven pesky to decorate due to being too narrow and small.
As a result, I haven’t yet decorated my pier, despite owning the game for well over six months. Wanting to rectify this, I decided to scour the web for some ideas. I wasn’t disappointed. My search yielded piers transformed into wonderful wharves, relaxing reading spots and peaceful picnic areas.
I made the assumption that some players were ‘in the same boat’. And so, I compiled a few of my favourite piers, to share with you in this article right here(s).

The internet is full of inspiring examples ofย gorgeous gardens,ย wonderful waterfallsย andย cool campsitesย from Animal Crossing: New Horizons. As inspiration is everywhere, you may have finished decorating your island. I thought I had. However, every Animal Crossing: New Horizons island has a pesky little strip of land that juts out into the sea.
These peninsulas are pesky in the sense that they can seem both too big and too small to do anything with, in addition to being oddly shaped.
Upon beginning the game back in the spring, I simply placed a bench and tourist telescope on mine. These two objects would remain there right up until recently, after I went searching for design ideas.
And design ideas I found! From terraformed terrain with lighthouses, to picturesque picnic spots for teddy bears, I discovered that there are plenty of creative ways to fill these spaces on your island. Whilst many more examples exist, here are a few of the best peninsula design ideas from Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Ideas With Lighthouses
Diving Spots
Thanks to the game’s summer update, players can now dive and swim. Whilst you can simply wade into the ocean from beach areas, fans came up with a much more fun way of entering the water: Diving spots! The more spectacular diving spots usually combine cliffs and a ramp (which allows suited up players to run and somersault into the sea).

Rock Area Design Ideas From Animal Crossing: New Horizons
The rocky areas near the beaches on Animal Crossing: New Horizons islands can also be tricky to tackle. For inspiration, take a peek at these awesome examples of how players have been decorating their islands’ rocks.
