Virgin Islands Campground

We will be back. Jason has created a place where we enjoyed the natural island and had everything we needed for comfort. I loved the privacy, surrounded by nature. At night I could feel the constant breeze from the ocean, hear the sounds of nature and enjoy the sound of the early morning rains. The bath and kitchen had everything we needed. The other guests were so friendly. Going to look at the calendar to make our next reservation.

I stayed with my husband, 12yr old, and 2yr old in a cabin at VI Campground and we loved it. Clean cabins, very comfortable beds, and gorgeous views. A veritable dream for folks who don't feel like spending 3k on a week in the carribbean. We had so much fun getting to meet the 2 other families who were also staying on the grounds, and found that the shared kitchen and bathroom space was really not a problem at all. The kitchen space is all open air and quite possibly the most beautiful view I've ever had while making breakfast and lunch. There were lizards, iguanas, centipedes, and turtles to be seen everywhere. | Many people rent golf carts, but we were just fine with walking 10min to the beach and back. It's a steep climb back, so beware if you have injuries or mobility issues. |Jason was incredible. So responsive and thoughtful and helpful. He invited us to a local Christmas eve party and picked us up / dropped us off at the ferry. |I would not hesitate to book here again. Especially with kids!

our host and campground owner was SUPER! He accomodated our every request promptly. A friendly easy going cool Dude!|The communal kitchen was really accomdating with every need right there. |The Bedding was top of the line and pillows super fluffy and comfortable.|Great towels and clean bathroom/showers. Reading lights at head of bed a nice touch! Roomy tent with nice patio. Good screens kept the bugs out. |Amazing views.|Really like glamping!!

I absolutely adore coming to the Virgin Islands Campground! The owners/ hosts, Jason and Coral, are the kindest and thoughtful hosts anyone could ask for. My boyfriend and I stayed 5 days and 4 nights, this trip. We were able to snorkel and paddle board (with the gear we rented) for 2 days. The other 2 days we were able to visit St. Thomas for the day and St. John another day. I recommend this place to anyone who enjoys being one with the outdoors and is looking to relax or take an adventure. There are things to do for everyone! See y'all next time.

While we had visited St Thomas in the past, we definitely missed out. Water Island is an incredible place to relax and enjoy island life. All the residents on the island were friendly and welcoming, and the island was beautiful. Nothing embodied the spirit of the island more than the VI Campground. Our cabin had a fantastic view of the water. Sleeping with Caribbean air flowing through the cabin (especially knowing it was 20 degrees F at home) was enjoyable. The shared restroom and kitchen space allowed us to meet travelers from all over the US. The hosts/owners were very committed to ensuring we enjoyed our visit. If you are looking for a resort-style experience, this isn't it. However, if you want to break away from the chaos of life and truly relax in the Caribbean, this should be at the top of your list! PS - The campground does have free Wi-Fi if you can't completely cut the cord to the rest of the world.

Very cool and absolutely gorgeous! I've never been to St. Thomas/Water Island and I just wasn't expecting the dramatic views and multiple of small periphery islands which gives a mini SE Asian vibe. Water Island itself is seemingly a big spread out resort (in a community way not quantity of people) in itself where you familiarize with the (very friendly) locals quickly. I really enjoyed talking with Jason and the other guests as well so all in all it turned out to be a great long weekend trip.

This was the best place on earth! The staff was amazing! The cabin were beautiful and the view was indescribable! I mean completely amazing! I will be returning!! And this time I want to bring my grandbaby! She'd love the turtles and riding in the carts!

Virgin Islands Campground was simply the best- don't let campground fool you, they have 8 buildings that are are a cross between a cabin and a platform tent. Lots of screens to let air flow through, views of the water and privacy from other "campers". The open air kitchen is very well equipped, and you have your own small fridge for your food and a cupboard with dishes for you.||Once you take the ferry over, you're picked up and driven the short distance to the campground. While you can rent a golf cart, we didn't, and enjoyed walking around the island to see the fort. With two beaches within a 10 minute walk of the place, you're well placed to enjoy a beach day regardless of the direction of the wind.||This had been our first trip to the Carribean, and now are eager to return to stay at the campground again.

Emailed them and was greeted with an exciting and fast response. After the 3rd email, Deborah completely ghosted me...I followed up with her and ghosted me again. Very poor customer service

This place is amazing! A friend and I usually stay at Cinnamon Bay campground in the cabins. Due to the hurricaines, we had to find different arrangements. Thank goodness my friend found this place. It is a piece of heaven! The owners Debra and Paul are very kind people that always have a smile and a joyous greeting. They are full of information about what (if anthing) might be happening on the island. The cabins, 8 total, have the feeling of being in tree houses as they are all tents off the ground surrounded by trees. We have already booked our trip here for next year.

If all "camping" were this nice there would be far fewer motels! We stayed four nights in a very nice little cabin, which would have been called a "chalet" in some places I have been. This is seriously "Dude Camping" in comfort. We enjoyed a good bed and pillows in a spacious arrangement (remember, we are not here to stay inside all day). The property is at enough elevation to be cooler than the beach and always have a breeze. This was like an eco-camp. We had power in the rooms with lights on timers to keep them from being left on and so we could be left alone in privacy. There are feral chickens, turtles and lizards galore, as well as wild birds to watch. Be aware the bath and showers are NOT en suite (except for one room) but they are clean, tidy and well kept. The open communal kitchen area was equally clean and pleasant. We had the pleasure of being almost alone here but a crowd would probably have been merely more friendly, not negative. I think all the rooms are within 100 feet of the communal space and bathrooms. This is a place you can be "off the grid" or go up to the communal area to get Wi-Fi connection. I got my daily check in and then went back off the grid. Roger and Dawn, who are now managing were extremely pleasant and helpful. If you like this kind of thing I highly recommend it. If you need your a/c and en suite bath, fine, head back to the resort. We would return here in a heartbeat; in fact, we are already making plans.

While the place itself was fairly nice, I had a serious problem with the honesty and integrity of the owner and the manager. At the last minute, we had to cancel our 3rd night there, due to the difficulty and expense of getting back to water island after 6pm. I asked the owner if we could get any partial reimbursement, not really expecting that we would. Instead of just saying no, she lied and blamed hotels.com. I wasted about a half hour calling hotels.com, who said they had no problem reimbursing me but when they contacted her, she refused. I emailed the owner and manager this information and the manager, who had been very nice the single time we met him, then accidentally sent an email to me instead of the owner, saying that we were unpleasant the entire time. This was a blatant lie, and when I emailed back to ask how we had been unpleasant, he didn't respond. Really childish behavior by both of them.

We found this gem online and the overall rating was very high. In the listing, it did not advertise that the restrooms were shared- we assumed that each bungalow had a private restroom. So we booked a stay here and it wasn't until afterwards when we received an email from the manager that we realized that there were not private restrooms. I called the manager twice to see if we could make arrangements to have a private restroom due to my husbands disability and they were not able to accommodate us because the one suite that they had (with a private restroom) was not available. After speaking with my husband and his doctor, we determined that there was no way we could make this work with his disabilities. I attempted to contact the manager again to see if they would waive the $300 cancellation fee since our trip was still 8 days away but they refused. We were incredibly disappointed and feel like the advertisement was misleading and needs to be more clear- specifically for those with disabilities. It's unfortunate that our circumstance wasn't taken into consideration when charging the $300 cancellation fee- especially since we made every effort to try to make it work without cancelling.
