Your island is only accessible by boat, meaning you'll have a completely isolated and serene experience the entire stay. Surprisingly, renting your own private island happens to be pretty cheap considering you have the whole place to yourself! The park charges per tent and depending on if you're staying during low or high season, prices vary a bit.

As if it couldn't get any better, dogs are welcome at the park, as well! Meaning you don't even have to leave your four-legged companions behind to have the summer vacation of a lifetime. @parcpoissonblancembedded via So while we barely get through this winter, just think about the memories you'll make on your very own private island this summer 2019.
