The expansion of Harv's Island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is one of the most substantial additions that came with the 2.0 ACNH Items update. We've had fun using amiibo for photoshoots on Harv's island, not to mention the month-long wedding season, but the co-op campsite filled with familiar and returning characters gives us a great reason to catch up with Harv on a daily basis.

In this Harv co-op campsite guide we'll go through everything you need to know about Harv's co-op trade post and the unlockable characters you'll encounter there.

We'll be updating this guide as we discover more information.

Harv's Island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons is a destination accessible via your airport. Simply go to the Dodo Airlines counter and say you want to fly and visit Harv's Island. Following the requisite procedure, you'll be whisked there by seaplane.

What is the Shopping Plaza on Harv's Island?

Harv's island also has a large space behind his house where characters come in caravans and sell their wares in a co-operative-style trading plaza area.

Originally you only had access to Harv's house for photoshoots with amiibo characters or with Reese and Cyrus during June's wedding season, but Update 2.0 introduced this new plaza area of Harv's Island where you unlock characters via donations.

In addition to call our amiibo friends for photoshoots, you can buy (sometimes exotic) goods from the traders, get your fortune told, place or retrieve items in your personal storage, and get a haircut, too.

How much does it cost to unlock characters on Harv's Island Shopping Plaza?
You'll have to donate 100,000 Bells to the appropriate Lloid in order to fund each of the seven characters' arrival, although donations will be made anonymously over time that will take that total down.

Additionally, you can only unlock one caravan per day, so assuming you have the Bells, it will take you a week to unlock all seven characters.

To reiterate, to unlock every character you'll need 700,000 Bells and seven days, then.

When do the shops replenish their stock?

Every shop will restock at the start of a new week. The Buy Animal Crossing Items exception is that items that are sold out — like Redd's art — will be replaced the next day.
