Brent, the owner, has thought of everything and has put so much aloha into renovating this gem. From the custom mango wood cabinets and floors, to the beautiful Hawaiian print curtains. The camper comes equipped with anything you need for a great Hawaiian adventure: cooking utensils, bedding, beach chairs, surf boards, you name it! Mango has a kitchen with a cook top and a good sized built in cooler. This past trip we took Mango on a beach camping trip at Bellows. The camper top is easy to navigate and very comfortable. The back seat also converts into a bed, sleeping a total of four adults. Brent installed lights in the van that are functional and super cool. You can utilize white lights or the multi-colored LED lighting. A few technical things about Mango: she's a manual vehicle with four speeds. Brent installed a back up camera for more ease and safety when navigating in reverse. The camper is from the 70's, so no air conditioning. Honestly, the windows provide enough air flow and allows you to breathe in the Hawaiian air. There is no power steering, but that's part of the vintage charm! This trip we traveled with our three year old son (and his car seat). Despite having no car seat laws in the 70's, we were able to safety install his car seat without a fuss. Our son absolutely loved, loved, loved, driving around! Renting a camper van allows you to see the island authentically and with amenities at your finger tips. Definitely recommend Hanahou Campers! We will be back!

Hawaii Campers is an upgraded camper van experience.They have a very helpful website, that answers…read morenearly all the questions you might have about renting one of their five VW camper vans and camping on Oahu. If you still have more questions, Jill can usually answer all of them or will strive to get answers for you. Brad is the "van man," he knows all the in's&out's of each van and gives you a very specific tour of your van's "how to's". If there is something tricky about your van he lets you know and shows you just how to do it.. And if something fails on the van while you are in the middle of your rental (which happened to us), they do EVERYTHING in their power to either get you up and running or they get you a replacement van...ASAP. If there was one complaint we had about their website and their suggestions for places to "pull off" was that legal "pull offs" are far and few between. Many places post up and down the shore line, "no camping." Second, the issue of valuables (both yours and those that belong to Hawaii Campers). Many places post "don't leave valuables in the car." It's difficult to take everything with you to the beach. (ipod, dvd player, phone, camera etc), then you have to worry about them while at the beach. It's a part of van camping...but you should be aware that it's not that easy to just pull over for a worry free overnight. We started our 10 day rental in Daisy (fun & funky but dated) and finished the trip with Cafe Remi (newer, stronger running engine but the stove & frig don't work). Remi also has front seats that swivel backwards so you have more seating options (ask Brad to show you) and the pop up tent is in pristine condition for great ventilation (a huge benefit in Hawaii, especially when the tradewinds die down). Pack lite as what Remi has in kitchen storage she lacks in closet/clothing type storage, we chose to live out of our duffle bags. Keep in mind you are renting over 20 year old vans...not a newer model RV. Describing them as "funky", is the fairest way to describe them. But if you are gentle in your use of them, they will be good vehicles to roam all over Oahu in. Hawaii camping is still primitive camping (by mainland standards), most campgrounds do NOT having electrical hookups, hit and miss clean warm showers/restrooms, all with sand/dirt, wild chickens and feral cats at almost every campground. BE SURE TO CHECK OUT CAMPING ON OAHU before you commit to renting the van. Paying special attention to the days that state parks are open for permits (not free and more for out of state residents). Realize that city&county parks require a permit (although free) that can only be obtained on the island in person at certain gov. offices (not available to arrange at the campground) and that sites are limited. Lastly gov. owned campgrounds are closed Wed-Fri noon. So make sure you have private campground reservations for those days (our favorite were Friends of Malaekahana...just know they will always try to place you in their new "van circle (4) sites" @ $25 a night and Camp Mokuleia @ $30 a night on the northshore. Since this last trip to Oahu was a kid free one of us. This van was nearly perfect for the needs of two active 50 yr olds. The owners are recent new parents of twins and as a parents of four young adults, we can appreciate their coming challenge to keep their customer service at the same high level. So far they seem to be doing a good job. If you love camping and don't like one home base all vacation long, van camping with Hawaii Campers is a great option.

We are extremely disappointed with our experience. We booked this rental for 3 nights through the…read morecompany's booking system, received a confirmation email, and believed our reservation was fully confirmed. Based on that confirmation, we purchased flights to Hawaii, requested time off from work, and planned this trip to celebrate our daughter's birthday and our anniversary. A few days later, we received a call from an employee telling us that the minimum stay is actually 5 nights and that our reservation would likely be canceled because the system "shouldn't have allowed" us to book only 3 nights. This policy was not disclosed during the booking process, and the reservation was accepted and confirmed without any issues. What made the experience even more frustrating was that we were unable to speak with management or obtain their contact information to discuss a possible solution. We understand that mistakes can happen, but customers should not be expected to bear the consequences of an internal system error after making travel arrangements based on a confirmed reservation. We sincerely hope the company improves its booking system and customer service so future customers do not experience the same situation.

This was my second time car camping in Kauai, but my first time renting with Kauai Rooftop Campers,…read moreand I can honestly say they made all the difference. Since we planned this trip last minute, finding campsites in the more remote areas was tough. Thankfully, KRC provides an excellent travel guide that not only lists camping spots but also gives insider tips on how to make the most of your trip. That guide was a lifesaver. It led us to Kumu Camp, which was perfect for our group of six, and even pointed us toward hidden gems like Anini Beach. Without it, we probably would have been stuck scrambling. The camper itself was fantastic. It was comfortable, well-equipped, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you need. What stood out most, though, was the team. Jonathan and his crew were communicative, flexible, and genuinely cared about making our experience unforgettable. When I wanted to extend my stay, they made it seamless. When I accidentally left a few belongings behind, they went out of their way to return them. That kind of service is rare. If you are considering car camping in Kauai, here are a couple of takeaways for success. Book early if you can because campsites do fill up, especially near the busier beaches. Make sure to use KRC's travel guide because it is full of reliable, local recommendations you will not find on Google. And most importantly, embrace flexibility because the best part of car camping here is the freedom to pivot plans and discover new places. Kauai Rooftop Campers does not just rent vehicles. They give you the keys to experience the island in a way that feels adventurous, authentic, and stress free. Highly recommend them for anyone wanting to see Kauai beyond the resorts.
