8 Islands Near Montreal You Can Camp At This Summer

Camping is fun, you set up a tent in a remote location and spend a few days roughing it. But what's the point of going camping if you're just going to go to a campsite?

Camping was all about freedom and the call of the wild. But for some reason, most campers seem perfectly happy huddling together in a crappy campsite. How are you supposed to run away from it all when you're surrounded by a hundred other people who had the same idea?

That's not called camping, that's just called "sleeping somewhere else".

If you really want to escape it all, you have to get somewhere private. And there's nothing more private to do that than to rent a private island.

Now that's what I call seclusion.

Here are 10 private islands you can rent that are less than a 3 hour drive away from Montreal. They come included with a chalet as well just in case you suddenly decide you feel like sleeping under a roof.
