Re: Thoughts about new Cinnamon Bay / Trunk Bay Concession?

Just heard from VI NPS - new maps, rates and reservations are on hold until the new ecco tents arrive. There were delays due to weather and shipping issues. They now are hoping for January. The new tents are larger, so the entire camping area will be reconfigured. the tents will have either a king s...

Re: Thoughts about new Cinnamon Bay / Trunk Bay Concession?

Can you share the pricing? Cottages, Eco-Tents, platform tents, bare sites?

They had to ask me about my deposit and I have not figured out what they did since I'm with a group and we have 3 cottages. They did not say that there would be a change in prices but I'm thinking I have to confirm that

Re: Thoughts about new Cinnamon Bay / Trunk Bay Concession?

I received both verbal and e-mail confirmation of my April reservations. I think reservations are working out of California, so they might not pick up the phone until 9AM Cali time. I got an e-mail from reservations@cinnamonbayresort.com. Last July I spoke to Brian Stewart at Redwoodparks by calling...

Re: Thoughts about new Cinnamon Bay / Trunk Bay Concession?

online reservations not working, but this afternoon ( not this morning when I first called) someone picked up the phone so I able to confirm and adjust my previous reservation. I don't think the person I spoke to is on island, which makes me sad

Re: Thoughts about new Cinnamon Bay / Trunk Bay Concession?

Holding my breath also to confirm my April reservations, which I'd like to adjust. Also hoping that prices of the cottages stay the same for 2017. I'm going to try and get as much info on the changes . I travel with a group and we will most likely be switching to a villa rental for 2018. Not interes...

Re: Thoughts about new Cinnamon Bay / Trunk Bay Concession?

When I spoke to Brian Stewart of Redwoods, he confirmed that any improvements have to stay within the current footprint ( that's why the new cottages are going up). I'm not sure if they will be able to create new camping areas, so they may just reduce the number of existing tents and replace them wi...

Re: Thoughts about new Cinnamon Bay / Trunk Bay Concession?

So the plan is to install tents made in Australia in a US National Park, because any comparable product made in the US is SO expensive that the base product and shipping costs from Down Under is a more economic alternative. Interesting. The Redwoodparks people have experience in working in national ...

Re: Thoughts about new Cinnamon Bay / Trunk Bay Concession?

I had already made my reservations for April 2017 when I read about this. As noted, there was not a lot of information on the Redwoodparks website, so I put in a call to Brian Stewart and he actually called me back. This is the plan so far: tent sites will have new ecco-tents and equipment in Nov/De...
