Our family glamping site with AC is new this season! Two seperate container rooms each with a queen matress, fresh linens and towels will be waiting for your arrival. One conatiner has an additional twin mattress, and the other has room for a twin air mattress for a 6th guest. A TV, recessed lighting, air conditioning and small fan are in both containers for your comfort. The family site has a large deck with 4 adirondack chairs and table connecting the two rooms.
Our Lameshur Campsite is conveniently located next to the national park for easy access to hiking trails and beaches. The closest beach being Salt Pond right down the road.
There is a outdoor kitchen and lounge area that all campers can use. It has a full size fridge, big flat top grill, and outdoor dining area and bar seats.

A single outdoor bamboo shower is stocked with shampoo and body soap. A single bathroom is located just past the kitchen/shower area. Both are in the shared spaces for the three glamping sites to use.
A twin air mattress is available to sleep a 6th guest for an extra fee.
We are located on the furthest side away from the ferry on which you will arrive. We STRONGLY suggest renting a car. You can find our exact location on maps as Lameshur Cottages and Campsites.

Thoughtful to have bug swatters, dart boards, honor system drinks/snacks, sunscreen/bug spray. Couches/chairs/hammocks decks were great and Frisbee golf hole/discs!
We found this to be very laid back, friendly and accommodating. It had all we needed to live simply, cook our own meals, and have quick access to the less populated beaches. It’s like a well-run hostel with a small number of units so that it never felt crowded. Loved our stay.

Camping at its best. Host is awesome. Camping area is well set up
Great island camping experience! Loved the gathering area to hang out at while we cooked our breakfast and dinners and loved our hikes to Salt Pond. The fans kept us cool during the nights and we even had some deer visit us while we we eating a few times. Great place if you like to camp!

The yurt was a perfect excursion from st Thomas for our family. Billy will help you with anything you need. Salt pond beach and ram head trail right near by. Adding to our annual trip
Clean, Neat and Organized. Parking was great!I would highly recommend this facility. Would definitely stay again. Bring your own groceries and having a car is a must. Very close to the Ram Head walking trail, blue pebble beach and salt pond for snorkeling.
We loved this place. Quiet, away from crowds and tourists. Hosts were friendly. If you are expecting luxurious accomodations, this is not the place for you. But if you enjoy simple, rustic camping you will love this place! Yurt had real beds so no need to cart all your camping gear to St John's.
I loved my stay at the Lameshur Cottage and Campsite! The host was very kind and messaged me back quickly if I needed help. My favorite part was the outdoor kitchen and shower. I even seen deer on the property ! I will definitely be back.
Perfect spot for our little get away to St. John. Just needed one night. Pleasantly surprised with the amenities. Everything we needed and more. Great hosts, always answered my questions. They were very accommodating when I need to use another tent. I would and hope to stay there again.
Our family of five enjoyed our stay very much. We walked to the beach and did the Ram head trail. The owners have beach chairs, snorkeling items and floats. This location is in the more remote part of the island which we wanted to get away from noise and hussle. The owners are very nice! The tents and yurt have battery fans to keep cool while sleeping. The kitchen hangout area was our favorite with darts and swinging game.
The yurt had plenty of room for sleeping and the beds were comfortable. What made it great was that the hosts thought of everything! Fans, lights, common condiments in the fridge, filters for the coffee pots, drinking water, soap/shampoo, snorkel gear, beach towels and chairs, a great commns area to relax and visit, even a vacuum to clean out your rental car. They obviously cared about making sure we had a great time and didn’t stress over details. If you enjoy camping, their place was great!
It’s EXACTLY as advertised - a tucked away campsite within minutes from a great beach, perfectly refurbed containers with great AC, common kitchen with all the utensils and amenities, great way to meet other campers (met some wonderful people!), hosts were very responsive to all kinds of questions and requests.You get the best of being outdoorsy with just the right creature comforts. Definitely need a car if you want to explore. We were a group of 6 full sized teens/adults and we fit just right into the two containers we slept in. A flock of bananaquit flutter about the common area and a baby deer grazed on site. Bright brilliant stars at night. It was just a super way to unplug.
Lameshur Camp was the sweetest place. The host was so very kind and provided everything our family needed to make our stay comfortable. We spent a lot of time in the kitchen/ common area playing cards and making simple meals, after full days of exploring and adventuring around this gorgeous island . We cherished our time here together. We slept very well at night after a refreshing shower, in the cooled down tent with the fans provided by the host. The stars at night, the peace and quiet found here can’t be beat. This spot is magical.
Our family of 5 had a delightful stay at Lameshur Cottage and Campsites. We stayed in the 2 turtle containers. We found them to be comfortable and especially enjoyed wrapping up our by night sitting on the porch, recounting the adventures from our day on St. John. Our 12 year old especially enjoyed the frisbee golf and feeding the bananaquits. There are also some friendly cats that kept us company whenever we visited the restroom. I did take off 1 star for cleanliness, but only because the room with one bed had sheets that had either not gotten clean in the wash or had not been changed. Everything else was perfectly clean. The real star of this place is the location! It's a 30 second drive from Salt Pond Beach parking lot. We enjoyed some of the best snorkeling of our trip at Salt Pond Beach and the next morning we took a sunrise hike at Ram Head. So gorgeous! Another bonus of this location: It is a reasonably quick and scenic drive into Coral Bay. Just mind the iguanas, chickens, goats, deer, donkeys, and even a miniature horse in the road. (We saw all of these!) We decided to forego the use of the outdoor kitchen and we had dinner at the Surf Club Cantina, which was delicious! If camping/glamping is your jam- I highly recommend this rental.
Our family of three stayed in the yurt and had a great time at Bill’s place. It’s a must if you like camping but don’t want to carry all your stuff with you. Each site had a labelled shelf in the communal fridge and the joint spaces are open so never felt busy. Definitely pack bug spray and manage your expectations of being able to really cool down at night - there are portable fans in the yurt but it’s still just hot. The location is great - you can leave your car and walk down the road to Saltpond Bay. As the description says, bring a 4x4 if you want to tackle the road to Lameshur Bay!
We really enjoyed our stay here, you WILL need to rent a car (ideally one with 4WD/AWD) to get around the island, so keep that in mind. The family that runs the place is super cool and helpful.
The main drawbacks were the heat and the bugs. I don't think the heat would be as big a problem if we weren't staying in the Yurt and we're instead staying in one of the more airy tents. I recommend checking the weather before booking and making sure the nights will be cool during your stay if you're planning to book the yurt.
Not much you can do about the bugs. That's just the nature of being outside on the island. Friends of ours who stayed at villas also got bit a lot. It is what it is. The owners do provide bug spray, use it and reapply a couple times a day!
Overall great!
If you are looking for a unique experience this is a must try. We had 4 in our party and had plenty of room. The accommodations were exactly as described, rooms clean and AC worked well. We will rent again in the future.
The containers were super clean and the A/C kept it very cool. We loved the outdoor shower and the bathroom was kept very clean. Although we only cooked one breakfast, we found all the equipment we needed including a mini-grill and a coffee pot. Whatever we forgot was something we could buy on an honor system and we got our own shelf in the fridge. The birds were amazing, darts and frisbees were fun to have, loved the access to free snorkel stuff, and we really liked our host!
