So the camp has been in place for more than 20 years. The neighbor who may have owned the land where the camp is, hasn't complained, or asked you to sign an agreement recognizing that there is a question about boundaries, right?
In my experience, we don't have lot line squabbles until a new owner moves in with city expectations, and can't get along with others. Take off your engineers hat, pop a beer with your neighbor and if it comes up in the future, two friends can find a solution.
Years ago, I found a handwritten P & S between my father and a neighbor for a vacant lot. It was thirteen years before the deal was consummated because they couldn't agree on whether a guest cottage (or two) could be built or not. In the meantime, we used the land, the owner paid the taxes, and the kids all played together. Land squabbles belong on the mainland, not on an island.
