Ah, the sights and sounds of summer! The crackle of a campfire, the faint glow of fireflies, and the relaxing sound of waves making their way to shore. How have you been enjoying your long summer days? ☀

Welcome to wave one of The Bell Tree's Summer Build Event: a two-part series of mini island design events that will get you out of the water - and save your fingers and toes from pruning - to set the stage for some other summer fun! For this wave, pack your bags because we're going camping! There will also be a special keepsake for a select few that create camping destinations that would be at the top of our to-visit list!

How to Participate 🦋


  • Build and design a campsite area in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and post one screenshot of it in this thread by Saturday, July 25 at 12:00 p.m. EST
  • You do not need to use the physical Campsite 'building' in your design; however, it should be easy for viewers to determine it is a spot intended for camping
Rules 🦋


  • Only one campsite photo may be submitted and must be yours. Do not take others' photos and submit them as your own
  • It must be designed on your island - not as a camping-themed room in your house or Harvey's Studio
  • Only one design may be submitted per individual
  • You may use custom patterns in your design
  • You cannot edit your entry once submitted
  • Your photo must be unedited (i.e.: no in-game photo filters or other design modifications)
  • Your photo may be taken in any season
  • The focus is your campsite design so your photo should not include villagers or other player characters (July 18 note: to clarify - additional characters other than yourself)
Prizes* 🦋


Participation:
75 forum bells
Staff Favorites: The beautiful pink shell collectible

can we reconsider the "no custom patterns" rule? i'd reckon a lot of us have our island completely decked out already, it'd be a hassle to clear and replace them
That is something we were looking at allowing originally and decided against as custom patterns add an entirely different element to designs that could add an advantage for those that use them v.s. those that do not.

Brought your point up for discussion and agree that it would be better to be lax on that rule for a participation-based event. Updated the main post to allow for custom pattern use. :)

Hi, just a quick question! Will the rules allow posting more than one picture? My campsite is quite large. Thanks!
 
this is such a fun event!! too bad I can only submit one photo as I would have loved to show you my campsite in different settings of the day
but I am very happy custom patterns are allowed ! thank you ^-^

I choose to post this rainy setting. No tent in this picture, since this is what it looks like most of the time
I love my campsite! it is compact but at the same time has plenty room to walk around

In front of the tent you have a little spot to just sit back, relax and enjoy the outdoors. A few camping necessities can be found such as a lantern, a drinking water source and a cooking fire. There is a stone path surrounding the site so that no weeds have to be stepped on, and as you can see the weeds thrive well in this area. Next to the tent is a path leading to the star gazing spot, so you can enjoy the starry nights while camping.

my campsite is also pretty big so I can't fit it all into one photo.
I wish I could because I have a cute little picnic area on the other side of the water.
but I think this is the best view if I have to pick just one photo.


....yes i time travel, shh.

Post automatically merged:

My campsite is actually a lot bigger than what I can capture in a single screenshot but I think this is the best angle.
