Maho Bay Campground

Maho Bay Campground is a privately operated facility located within the authorized boundaries of Virgin Islands National Park. It is probably the most highly praised ecotourism destination in the world. In 1976 18 tent-cottages were built on 16 foot square platforms in the Virgin Islands National Park using hand construction methods which left the natural environment virtually undisturbed. The platforms were connected by elevated walkways to avoid soil erosion which endangers the beach and fragile coral. This sensitive land use stimulated an explosion of favorable press which has encouraged their growth to 114 units, connected by an extensive network of stairs and boardwalks.

Now Maho Bay Camps are celebrating over 30 years of an improved local environment as a result of this sensitive and sustainable development. When camping in the park you may encounter some members of the local wildlife, such as the White-tailed deer, and donkeys. Deer are extremely shy animals; however the donkeys will allow you to get pretty close. Be careful and do not feed them. Feeding marine and terrestrial wildlife is also prohibited. Fires are permitted only on grills at designated picnic areas.

The campsite offers a secluded white sand beach and year-round tropical climate offer a variety of popular water sports ) including kayaking, windsurfing, sailing, snorkeling and scuba diving. Massage, yoga, National Park presentations, weddings, live music and other activities are available. Glassblowing demonstrations are a popular activity with mesmerized guests watching beautiful glasswork being made from crushed bottles in their Trash to Treasure Art Center.
