In Pocket Camp, players manage their own campsite.

To get all the crafting materials you need in the game you’ll need to travel between settings in your camper van.

You can also go shopping at the market place for furniture & clothing items like shirts and shoes. Just like in the main games, Bells can be obtained by helping animals, shaking trees, selling captured bugs, and so on. That was a faithful phone-friendly version of a classic, so fingers crossed that Animal Crossing with survive the transformation relatively intact too. To save time, players can choose to spend real money instead of completing tasks.

More luxurious furniture can be found in Timmy and Tommy Nook’s marketplace setup. The selection at each shop rotates, so don’t be a stranger! Your animal friends will be of assistance, and you can talk to them to receive requests. By helping others you earn rewards. Build an animal’s favourite furniture, and they’ll even stick around!

You can exchange items with your friends, get decorating ideas from them and just wander around their campsite.
