North St John - Maho Bay Camps Eco-Resort

Founded by Stanley Selengut in 1976, the award-winning Maho Bay Camps is an ecosensitive tent resort. Offering 114 tents, each unit is set on a platform on the steep, forested hillside overlooking Francis Bay, Maho Bay and other offshore islands.

The raised tents among the thick, surrounding vegetation create a tree-house-like atmosphere, with a maze of boardwalks leading through the jungle to the beach, outdoor restaurant, store and toilet and shower facilities.

Maho Bay Camps appeals to visitors looking for environmentally sensitive accommodations. The tents resemble canvas cottages and each are equipped with a private deck, table, propane stove, two twin beds, a cooler and more. Water conservation is a key project at Maho Bay Camps.

Due to the popularity of the eco-resorts, Selengut has introduced three more ecosensitive accommodations: Estate Concordia, Concordia Ecotents, and Harmony Studios. Harmony features condo units using solar-generated electricity. Recycled trash was one of the main construction materials when building the condos.
