ReplyDeleteYou have shared a stunning background .Camping close to an island is dependably an alternate experience.It is generally so tranquil and relaxing to camp almost on an island.I have stayed outdoors almost an island last time and we were a gathering of like 5 guys.We had a great time there.We purchased outdoors tents which are so sturdy and resistible .There was overwhelming precipitation around then and it was so huge but thanks to our military outdoor tents.
