“Probesitzen und -liegen ist ein Muss
Waldliegen, Waldsofas, Ruhebänke, Vesperinseln und Waldschaukeln laden nicht nur zu einer Pause sein, sondern machen die Landschaft und die Natur auf eine ganz besondere Art erlebbar. „
There´s a picture of one here: http://www.rothaarsteig.de/index.php?id=202. But what would we call that in (British) English?

picnic table and benches
That's what the picture shows so the safest thing is describe what precisely what it is

picknick areas
Vesper is a light, small meal.
I think they are talking about rest areas where you can enjoy your picknick.

: Take a look at the reference URL. It's a table and benches you can buy - obwohl ich ohne das Photo auch auf eine "picnic area" getippt hätte.

snack corner (+explanation)
At least to me, "Vesperinsel" meant nothing specific and without looking at the photo I would never have associated THAT with the expression.
So I think you might get away with a free translation and then provide an explanation what it really means ...

A fair selection of googles would confirm this as an option too.
There really isn't an English equivalent of a "Vesperinsel" as far as I am aware.
