Don’t eat me. I have a wife and kids. Eat them.
As far as I know who asks to leave it at random but the times are;
2 weeks (after one moved out and another moved in)
1 week (after one requested to leave but got denied)
so maybe TT until you get the one you want to leave? :s

If you time travel then here is something you need to know. It takes 15 days for a villager to have a "move out" thought bubble so when you see it on the villager you want to kick out. Talk to them and they will think about moving out and say yes. However if its one a villager you don't want to move out. Ignore them, save and quit the game, and time travel forward (make sure its not on Saturday), and the thought bubble should be on a different villager. I tested this and it always works but its the RNG you have to becareful with.
Exactly this. 15 days seems to always do the trick.
The other option is to try to replace them with campers. Each campsite visitor can be convinced to move in. You may need to keep trying to convince them over and over and over. If they say no, keep going. Once you finally get them to agree and they go to ask resident services, they’ll offer to replace one of your villagers. If it’s not the one you want gone, immediately quit the game. DO NOT EXIT THE TENT FIRST. You must close the game as soon as they offer. Then try again and they will offer to replace a different villager. Apparently, according to the internet, each camper has 3 choices of who to replace. Personally, I only ever made it to the second choice.
why not saturday
Villagers do not ask to move out on a Saturday, I think its to do with the KK Slider concert. Don't know if this is different if you haven't had KK appear on your island yet though. Also if you want to kick out a specific villager and time travel forward don't go to a day that is within 7 days of their birthday as I believe they won't ask to move out then.

Because KK Slider appears and the villagers for whatever reason don't seem to move out on that day.

If you ask me I think the Campsite is not the best way to move out villagers. If you had amiibo cards you can just craft items for the amiibo villager that wants to move in and do it 3 times and travel 3 days each until they are convinced to move in and then you can pick whatever villager you want move out. However if you have a random visitor at the campsite you are going to be stuck playing that card mini game for a long time and when you do win the game automatically picks for you and its very RNG based. So I would say don't do the campsite method just to move out your villagers unless you have amiibo cards.

I personally don’t TT, so my options for getting villagers out are the campsite (close game if they offer to replace the wrong villager. I hadn’t heard that each camper will only offer 3 names, and I think I’ve gone through more than 3 before getting the one I wanted.)
Second option - what for someone to have the moving bubble. If you talk to them and get the moving out conversation but it’s not the villager you want to have go, exit the game (the house button) as soon as they bring up moving, close game without saving and restart. The next day the bubble may stay with the same villager or may move to another one. Wait for it to move to the right one. I’m going through this process on my island right now. It was on one villager for 2 days. Today it’s on another. I’m waiting for it to fall on the right one.

I can confirm this is not true. I had Reneigh in my campsite a week ago, and it took me about an hour to get it to finally pick the right villager. It cycled through much more than 3 before finally landing on the right one.
Many videos on YT are pretty accurate. For the longest time, Boone refused to leave my island. He was one of the 2 starting villagers and I thought that it was time for him to leave. I tried everything: shoving him in pitfalls, hitting him with the net, not talking to him, sending him trash in the mail, you name it. He refused to leave... so finally I had enough and saw a video for effective ways. TT'ing works but sometimes its random who thought bubbles and Boone wasn't thought bubbling. Then, one showed me the fencing in trick. I fenced in Boone so that when he left his house, he would be fenced in. It prevented him from interacting all together. TT'ed a few days later and Boone finally thought bubbled.

Taking a break :3
The method I use hasn't failed me yet, and I got it from a youtube video. I think someone has already posted it but here it is:
(You do have to be comfortable with time travel).
1. Time travel 15 days ahead in your game.
2. Run around your island and check to see if any villagers who are outside have the thought bubble above their heads.
If there is no villager with a thought bubble, skip another 15 days ahead till you find someone.
3. If a villager has a thought bubble and they ask to move, but it's not the right villager- Speak to them, but quit without saving the game half way through the conversation.
4. Time travel 1 day forward and repeat. Keep looking for the villager you want to move out. You should eventually land on the villager you want.
It is a very tedious way of doing it, and you do need to have some patience. But it works for me every time. I have used this method for at least 5 villagers now.
Not certain- But I think villagers won't ping to move out on Saturdays with KK Slider and on bug off and fishing tourney days.

Honestly, the campsite is the best way. At least for me. I wanted Canberra gone for quite a while, and ignoring her was not working for me. So the next time I had a campsite visitor, I just did that. I only had to reset once, they chose Canberra the second time around. Didn't take me long at all thankfully.
