Description
What better way to experience the smells, the sounds, the sights of the tropical wilderness of St. Croix?
A closer look at the construction on the Teak Bungalow dwelling. The shelter roof has been designed to allow the live tree to continue to grow through the roof.
Each dwelling at Mount Victory Camp is uniquely designed to accommodate one to six people.
Each shelter is flexible; close down all or part of the canvas tent or netting, defeating wind driven rain and sun, leaving the platform in a cool shade. Shade plus airflow are the keys to keeping cool in the tropics. Overlooking green trees and the expanse of the valley, the open design of these camp shelters puts you face to face with the outdoors.
Tent campsites are also available for those adventurers with their own gear. All campers have use of the pavilion, bathroom and public cooking facilities.

PLATFORM DWELLINGS
People really like these units according to comments received this first year of use. They’re designed for a family of four to live comfortably. That means there’s lots of room for a couple.
Rate: $75/night for 2 adults. 2 kids free. Additional guests: $10/night.
SAMAN DWELLING
“The serenity, calmness and tranquility of the Saman bungalow brings to mind the Indonesian forest.”
Josh - San Diego CA
Woodworking and Construction: More than 60 running feet of natural tropical hardwood slabs make up the counter tops. The supporting structures are made of local teak including the logs forming the four “prows” (which support a tensioned cable that holds the canopy roof).
“I designed these habitats to use shade trees and an open design to let cool breezes flow through.”
Bruce Wilson -
Camp Owner/Habitat Designer
Tent (“bedroom”): A spacious canvas camp tent built by one of America’s oldest canvas tent makers (Permanent Camp Tent by Anchor Industries) gives ultimate protection from windy rain or bugs, though most people leave it rolled up and let the breezes flow through! Two handcrafted teak beds and four comfortable mattresses with clean linens (weekly) are provided.
MAHOGANY DWELLING
“Michael is more comfortable here than any place on earth... I felt peace and tranquility. The sounds, the wind, and the trees made a spectacular symphony.”
Jessica & Michael - St. Croix USVI
Each Platform Tent unit features an efficiency kitchen on the breezy deck outside the tent “bedroom” where you’ll find all the basic essentials for whipping up a snack or meals (coldwater sink, two cooking burners, ice chest, pots and pans, dishes and basic utensils).
The bungalows feature split-level construction. Rate: $85/night (2 adults/2 children). Additional guests: $10/night.
SCHOOLHOUSE BUNGALOW
Built in 1841, the old stone Mount Victory schoolhouse was part of the island’s first school system.
Built from the massive West Indian Almond and Mahogany, this two-story dwelling is built into the ruins, overlooking the home of dozens of redfooted land tortoises – a successful captive-breeding program running two decades.
Life in ruins: campers in the Danish Schoolhouse Bungalow are sheltered by three-foot-thick stone walls.
Built into the ruins of an historic stone schoolhouse, inside it’s a split-level bedroom (4 single beds – 2 upstairs and 2 downstairs) and outside a kitchen/dining area. You can sit at the railing and watch the colony of red footed land tortoises foraging below, while above you a cathedral canopy of leaves filters the sunlight.
“Mientras dormiamos cayo' un aguacero riquisimo y por la manana hicimos el grupo de amigos el hiking a las ruinas - un descubrimiento increible!! Regresaremeos pronto. Tienen una imaginacion muy creativa.”
Familia Nicholas - St. Croix USVI
Learn how to slow down. Live with the tortoises.
“What a wonderful time we had! The views are glorious. The ruins were fabulous! Friendly horses and great tortoises. The night was cool so the fire felt great. I saw two shooting stars. May my wishes come true. We’ll pass on the word to others!”
Lars Jacobsen - Denmark

We’re a popular and unique venue for parties and groups of people, small and large. Centrally located cooking and bathroom facilities make things comfortable. You can include a hiking tour or other activity to round out your group’s experience. Here are some of the possibilities:
Daytime Bungalow Parties: For folks renting accommodations, it’s fun to invite people in for a party. Could be a bar-b-cue, or a birthday or family celebration, or just a holiday fete. Renters can have up to four guests visit during the day for free. Over that number we charge per person. See Rates for price schedule.
“We went mountain bike riding and had a good frisbee throw!
A nice shower and a cool breeze.
We sure don’t want to but we have to go.”
Ryan & Claudia - Greensboro, NC
Full Camp Parties:
Some folks rent the whole camp for a wedding or family reunion. This can be for a day or for a few days. People coming from off-island have a place to stay. Our pavilion can accommodate large groups for buffet-style eating. The camp can provide food and drink, or you can have your own caterer…or do group cooking yourself!
