Hello Georgia,
I have no information that Shell Island is privately owned (same to the smaller Island on the other side of the river).
And you’re right, there are tents up several times a year, although I have no clue if they stay over night.
I’ll try to find out more, I think USFWS of FWC could be a resource.

We love Shell Island and now we are retired we can go and stay wehenver we wish, We use the web cam nearly every day to check the site as to where is really busy, it is far better to be able to see it than just to be told there are so many pitches left as some are just not suitable for us, however the web cam has been down now for weeks they say they can refresh it if you ring but 9 out of 10 times this does not work!! Many people tell me the same thing too!! It must be costing them a lot of income! as at least 20 people we know do the same as us but have not been as they can not longer see what is available, 40% free this week it is not the norm is it? Please come on Shell Island get that web cam back up so we can check for ourselves and get in the car and come over for a few days a350.00p in diesel there and back is far to expensive just to get there and then find out that the available pitches are impossible to use. PLEASE PLEASE GET THE WEB CAM RUNNING AGAIN!!! You should be full this week, and as you are not we can come. if we can just see where the empty pitches are to camp, Take care to all the campers out there and keep safe.

Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That’s right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. WordPress Seo Plugin

Riio, I’m not sure if we are on the same page here ? There was no webcam on Shell Island, there is no electrical power at all ! The “nearest” webcam that at least allows you to see the weather is my office cam at http://www.mrbarth.com/webcam !
