...and no, not on a campground!
While the campgrounds in St. Thomas are nice, and the ones in the National Park of St. John are quite possibly even nicer, I quite enjoy camping on the island keys which have no pre-dug fire pits, bathrooms of any kind, or any other human luxuries.
I just returned from a 5-day camp on Hans Lollick, which is the key seen off of St. Thomas in this picture:

We set up tents along the beach, a tarp over an area designated as the "kitchen" and brought some gas cookers up on the boat, and had another tarp set up over a table for dining/card-playing.
We hiked the island, snorkeled the beach, went fishing, and even caught a shark! All in all, it was a successful camp besides a couple of sunburns. I'd recommend any campground in the VI for camping, but nothing beats a true camp of digging your own toilet-hole and taking showers with just a gallon of water!
