Camping

Camping is only allowed in areas specifically designated for those purposes. Within Virgin Islands National Park, there is Cinnamon Bay campground, operated by a park concessionaire. For more information you may visit the Cinnamon Bay Campground website at http://www.cinnamonbay.com/.

In addition, Maho Bay Campground, is a privately operated facility located within the authorized boundaries of Virgin Islands National Park. For further information you may visit their website at http://www.virginislandsparadise.com/.

When visiting either of these locations 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 prohibited and may be dangerous to you. Fires are permitted only on grills at designated picnic areas.

Also located at the Cinnamon Bay Campground is the Virgin Islands National Park Archeological Lab. This lab is open to visitors, who may want to take a peak at recently discovered artifacts, learn more about the archeological history of the island, or volunteer in a dig.
