Stay on a bare campsite. There was an overhead tarp that allowed us to sleep with the rainfly off the tent without getting wet and allowed the sea breeze to give us a break from the 81 degree weather. You are on a platform and out of the sand. The campground was extreme well kept. The access to ranger programs at the raintree restaurant was just a short walk away. We were feet from the beach. It rained both nights and all three days we stayed. When you are going to be in the water anyway this isn't a big deal. Also the overcast days protected us from the sun. Bathrooms were clean and well done. You get to shower outside with complete privacy. Showers are connected to the men's and women's bathrooms. It was a great time and look forward to coming back.

Place was incredible. Especially getting there at 7 am for a morning swim while it was sprinkling till late afternoon. The views. The glowing water in the sun. The fish. You really can’t beat it (1st picture is st Thomas)

Great beach to go swimming! Definitely had the best waves on the island to swim in. Beach was clean and food stand had excellent service. My husband and I snorkeled here and it was okay. Definitely other local beaches provide a better snorkeling experience. We spent two days at this beach during our week long vacation.

A wonderful experience for people who want to live outdoors but not with bare essentials. The Eco-Tents have beds, fans, lighting, and are high quality canvas construction with net windows. It's easy to cook outside with the stove and kitchen equipment provided. Shop in Cruz Bay for the supplies you need as the on-site store has a limited selection. The restaurant offers good food three meals a day, tempting you not to cook. The beach is AMAZING.

Our stay last week was delightful. We rented 2 cottages for two families. This gave us options for parents to have some alone time while grandparents played with the grandkids. The fridge was big enough for several meals and even had a small freezer for ice pops. There were glasses, mugs and washing bins inside. Outside there was a well stocked cook kit with plates, bowls, silverware, cutting board, knife, pot w/lid and various cooking tools. Washing up was at the shared comfort station (showers + restroom) and had sponge and dw liquid. But the best part was definitely snorkeling in the bay. The beach is a few minutes from the cottages and the water was clear so we saw tons of fish at both ends on the reefs. Cafe this year had many more options. Staff is friendly and helpful. Grounds are well kept. Glamping at its best in a National Park.

Spectacular beach. Very short cab ride from Cruz Bay. In fact, exited ferry, walked to North Shore Deli, loaded up on food and drink and easily found a cab to take us the approximate 3 miles to Cinnamon Bay. Clean bathrooms. Changing area. Chair rental. Absolutely amazing experience.

Loved this beach. Didn't show up until noon after a hike and it was hard to find a shady spot b/c it was crowded but we made due and may go back during our 7 day stay. Lovely sand, lovely water and entrance to the water (no rocks, etc) and great atmosphere!

We stayed here for 10 days the last of March in one of the cottages with husband & brother-in-law. Plenty of room in the cottage and after an adjustment without all the comforts of home it was excellent. We cooked on the grill every other night to save a bit of money. Brought a separate suitcase with food, mostly dry goods but some frozen meats wrapped in newspaper & bubble wrap( it all stayed frozen and our plane was delayed a couple hours in NY. Boiled water in am & made great coffee in our French Press we brought along. Fridge small but adequate & cooler for drinks. Had to buy ice for $7 but the way it goes. We made breakfast with eggs, oatmeal, grilled bagels, etc.. Took sandwiches for lunch in a small insulated lunch bag & went to some different beaches almost daily for snorkeling as we rented a car. Ate delicious food in on-site cafe several nights & talk on the turtles was very interesting by a Professional volunteer of the Park. The island is truly beautiful & Cinnamon Beach great. The surf very high a couple days but we went to smaller bays on those days for snorkeling. Renting a Jeep is a must. Driving on the left takes a bit of getting used to & curvy roads a little scary at first. Bathrooms clean & great. Women can use a urinal too. ( I brought a small plastic container with cover & covered with a towel to empty in BR in morning). Staff were great! We will return to this Paradise some day!

Adrian and his staff were top notch. We are a family of 2 adults and 3 young kids. We arrived a day late due to a missed flight and they did everything they could be make our stay memorable. Our oceanside cottage was great. Steps from the beach it was great to be there right at sunrise before the parking lot filled. We have been coming to STJ for over 10 years and we are planning to try out the EcoTents this year. Don't pass up a chance to see the North Shore in this special way.

For some reason there is not a separate page for the lodging, so posting the review here. Had a fabulous stay at the Cinnamon Bay Campground! We stayed in one of the cottages. It is definitely rustic - communal bathroom with outdoor shower, no AC or internet/wifi service in the room, and wildlife right outside the door. The cottages are not on the beach but are very close and have a separate entrance from the general public. There is also a much bigger parking lot than at Trunk Bay and Maho Bay, so we never had trouble finding a spot. Meals are available in the Rain Tree Cafe for breakfast and dinner, and at the food truck for lunch. There is a good variety and the dinner menu changes every night. There is also a daily evening program - we got to see a local musician and a presentation on invasive lionfish. They also have laundry available at $5 each for a wash and dry. The only cons are that it is a long walk from the cottages to the dining area and parking lot, which on the whole was fine but was annoying when we had all our luggage. It is also a bit pricey for what you get for both lodging and meals, but the location inside the park can't be beat and the food was very good. On whole, definitely recommend it for an adventurous national park stay!
