Great camping site to go to. They have some basic rules but it's worth a weekend stay. They have a…read moreconvenient fire pit right next to your camp site. We had one of the camp sites right next to the parking lot so it was easy to move our tent and other supplies to the site. One thing that I would say that you should look out for is the fact that it rains often. So there is a possibility that part of your camping time will involve rain. Other than that, the view from your tent is beautiful.

Camping review. Great spot. Only a few camp sites. All of them close to the bathroom facility. We…read morewere at camp site 15. Honestly if I could rent out all the back sites (14,16 and 13) it would be a weekend camp party with my friends. Each site it marked by a number on the picnic tables. Each site has two picnic tables and a fire pit. Bring your own wood. Since it rains here often, the woods pretty damp. Be sure to bring a big picnic tent as it does rain and pour at any time. There are water spouts near each site so you can wash your dishes or feet. Not as many bugs as I expected, didn't get bit much. (Only twice) and nothing was flying over our food. That bathroom facilities are nice, there's shower are and bathroom with toilet paper. Camp site 11 and 12 are on the opposite side of the bathroom and is more private then the other sites but it's right in front of the parking lot, so... if u wanna be close to your car, that's a good place to be. Everyone still has a great view. One thing I found was, when we woke up, sites 16,15, 14 were in the shade from the trees. Site 13 was under the sun already at 7am. So I didn't wake up baking in our tent. At the parking lot there are dumpsters for your trash. No trees to hang hammocks.

The cabin is simple and charming, giving off that classic Hawaiian camping vibe right near the beach. It's perfect for anyone looking to unplug and enjoy the outdoors without the usual hotel frills. The downside was definitely the presence of some dead bugs here and there in the cabin, which felt a bit off-putting. It's an older structure with a rustic charm, but could use a bit more attention to cleanliness and upkeep for comfort. That said, if you're into rugged, no-frills beach camping with easy access to beautiful coastline and great nature, it's worth it. Bring your own supplies and insect repellent, and don't expect luxury--this is more about the authentic island experience. Great for those who love the outdoors and don't mind living a little rough for a few days.

The condo was nice but we ended up cutting our vacation short for one reason: roaches. We had…read moreplanned on staying for two nights but ended up leaving after the first night. If you stay in the condos, do NOT stay on the first floor. As soon as the sun sets, they will invade. Up until that moment, our stay was enjoyable. We spent the day at the beach and played putt-putt. Spent the evening at the condo playing board games. The condo had a full kitchen, so I was able to cook breakfast and dinner. But once nighttime came, so did the bugs!

If your lucky like we were, you'll get treated to a short acrobatic single engine airplane that does stunts just off shore. Whoever this pilot is has got his stuff down. Even a goodbye wave with his plane when he was done. We finally got a camping permit after waiting until they complete the restroom renovation in mid August. We reserved spot #10 which is furthest to the right towards the beach. The walk from the truck to the camp spot is not that far unless your carrying the heavy stuff. When I got to the camp area I noticed the area was sunken in a little. Like it was in a bowl like area. Now I'm not new to camping and know better to pitch a tent in low lying area so I walked further up towards the tree line and found a spot that was higher ground. The beach is great. Its so huge and not overcrowded like Kailua Beach or Bellows Beach. The parking is small though but I've seen people park on the grass over the curb and nobody seems to bother. Main thing you dont block anyone in. The restroom is brand new from the ground up. Everything is clean inside. The best thing is the toilet stalls have frickin doors! I wonder how long thats going to last until you have to have someone play lookout or do a very loud cough to let someone know its occupied. Five of the six shower heads are already missing. I just hope it doesn't get any worse. If your a internet junkie, your gonna be kinda SOL. This location has 0 internet connection. Phone calls sound broken up or end up getting dropped. The last thing I could do was check in and that was it. I gave up after a while and just enjoyed the beach. I tried roaming but that was still off and on. If you like reading, this is for you. Bring a book or your Kindle. Overall great beach and definitely one of my favorite. A must see if you are visiting from the mainland. Just a fyi. This camping area is a five day camping spot. So its $52.00 no matter if your staying just the weekend its still that price. Dont forget, leave your area cleaner than when you got there :)

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!
