Great Property
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!

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.

Beautiful setting
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!

Great place, great deal, great people running it
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!

Camping on St John
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!

Remote Stay Near Beach & Trails
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.

Special Place
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.

I hope everyone will read this review, first, the owner (Bill) is a great host!!! You can call him with any problem anytime and he will take care of it. Second, this is camping in a national park. That means you’re roughing it (no AC and no heat). Third, this yurt is not on the beach, but is a 5-10 min walk from one of the most beautiful spots on the island. Lastly, you don’t need coolers, camping gear, beach gear, Bill has all that stuff. If I had it to do over I’d come in February stay a week, buy all my groceries right up the road at Cababs, and make sure to rent an SUV. Beware of donkeys, don’t leave food out in the kitchen area, you will get raided by donkeys while your at the beach!!!

Great glamping!
The outdoor shower was our favorite part of the site! Bill and Emily have thought of everything. Between the cooking supplies, beach chairs, comfy furniture, and fresh water, our stay was lovely. They even have bug spray and citronella candles because of the pesky no-see-ums. Thanks so much!

Bill and group are amazing!!! A great outdoor experience. It’s a nature experience with a cute outdoor shower. I’d recommend bringing something to cook as the outdoor living area for the yurts has everything you would need to prepare a meal. Thanks Bill. Til next time!

If you want a unique and wonderful experience, stay here! Bill was great with communication and always had helpful information. The stars at night can’t be beat, and it was a hidden gem away from the crowds, but still near hiking trails and beaches! Great spot to see the south side of the island!
