mariavisserJuly 15, 20212099 Views0

Guest Post by Maria Visser Island camping isn't like other camping. For starters, it's usually not far from a beach, so you'll get to enjoy sandy shores as well as fun water-based activities like swimming, surfing and scuba diving. Pick the right island and you'll also have the chance to explore natural wonders such as mountains and volcanoes. Another benefit of island camping is the novelty of it all.
