Level Up Swiftly in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp

by Oliver Jan 27,2025

This guide provides strategies for quickly leveling up your Camp Manager in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. Reaching level 76 unlocks all animals except those tied to Villager Maps. Leveling efficiently becomes crucial at higher levels.

How to Farm Experience

Tips for Rapid Leveling:

Interacting with animals on the map yields +2 friendship points. Complete their requests, chat with them, give gifts, and change their outfits to boost friendship levels, which in turn increases your Camp Manager experience. Animals rotate every three hours, bringing new requests. Maximize your interactions before the rotation.

Animals at your campsite/cabin stay until dismissed. Warping there during the three-hour cycle reveals visiting animals for additional friendship points. The "Tell me a story!" option sometimes leads to gift-giving opportunities (+6 points regardless of preference).

Remember: Only red dialogue options award friendship points. An option loses its point-earning potential after selection.

Amenities:

Construct amenities to earn friendship points from multiple animals simultaneously. Matching amenity and animal types maximizes experience gains. Placement of animals at your campsite before amenity completion is key. Amenities take time to build but can be upgraded with Bells and materials for continued point generation. Level 4 amenities can be upgraded to max level (level 5), but this requires 3-4 days of construction.

Giving Snacks:

Giving snacks ("Have a snack!" option) awards points; matching snack and animal types maximizes this. For example, give Plain Waffles (natural theme) to natural-themed animals like Goldie.

Gulliver's Ship unlocks Villager Maps from golden islands, redeemable at Blathers's Treasure Trek for Bronze, Silver, and Gold Treats. These treats are universally liked and provide +3, +10, and +25 friendship points, respectively. Alternatively, complete requests or Isles of Style for these treats if all Villager Maps are obtained.

Animal Requests Tips

Optimal Gift Selection:

Pete's Parcel Service allows bulk request completion. Prioritize higher-value items for bonus rewards and experience (1500 Bells for rarer items). Consider these options:

  • Perfect Fruit (excluding non-local)
  • Snow crab
  • Splendid alfonsino
  • Amberjack
  • R. Brooke's birdwing
  • Luna moth
  • White scarab beetle

Level 10 (or 15 for some) animals unlock Special Requests, requiring crafted furniture (often 9000+ Bells, materials, and 10+ hours). While time-consuming, these provide significant friendship points.
