    Not sure about the campsite though:
    Sully Island is in Swanbridge Bay,in the Bristol Channel.It is a small island and on rough days the tide washes over the top.
    I think....

    Stack Rock (from the article) looks an interesting island, I wonder if anyone bought it back (or subsequently) in 2005 for 150k?

    Stack Fort Rock
    About 800 yards off the West Wales coast near Milford Haven, this fortified island went on the market for £150,000 in the summer of 2005. The 19th century fort – complete with a couple of cannons – dates back from the time of Napoleon.





    EDIT: The comments on YouTube state that it was bought for 250k:
