My favorite place to camp!

I have been camping on this island for just over 30 years, and my father camped there for another 30 prior to that. It is one of my favorite places in the whole world. And now I get to take my kids camping there, and that's the best part! Just a truly beautiful place ♡ One of Lake Champlains BEST hidden gems!
