We spent a wonderful 2 weeks in a cabin on the beach. We were so fortunate to be able to stay at Camp Olowalu, as they did not have a large group renting all the cabins. There were other couples in the other cabins, whom were all friendly. The cabins don't have bathroom or kitchen facilities, but the common facilities... More

We've camped all the islands and this was one of our faves. And we're not grubby hippies: I'm a college professor and my boyfriend is an executive. Legal camping in Maui either means by the airport where they have tons of people, guards patrolling to make sure you have your permits and people sleeping in their cars in the lot... More

a very easy way to camp at maui without having problems with state park officers, because its privat and the camp manager is friendly. i only put cash in the postbox at arriving in the evening and build up my tent. there are also cabins available. tx for this cheap and easy accommodation!

It smells pee, and everybody seems to be there for more than 14 days (which is the limit)... You don't want to camp there for 10$/person/night...

This was my first camp site once I reached the island. I am a single woman who wanted to see this island in a unique way. This Camp reminded me of a place where old soldiers or drug destroyed men who otherwise would be homeless hang out. Most tents there had been there a very long time (months to years),... More

A combination of US and international travelers and homeless people on Maui. The campground could be cleaner and better configured, but I have to admit that it was one of the quietest campgrounds (at night) I have ever stayed at. I also liked the fact that no one was burning (or trying to burn) open campfires -- so you could... More

A perfect place to stay right on the beach in beautiful Olowalu Maui for very cheap. Tent camping or cabins are available. Beautiful coral reef right out front great for kayaks and snorkeling and stand up. All are here for rent for a good price as well. I am a little confused by all the previous negative reviews, we have... More

The campsite is dusty and dirty. Camping are is full of fallen trees and broken branches. Mobile restrooms were nearly full of excrements. Showers are very primitive. Manager is not very friendly and polite. Wireless internet connection is available only in a proximity of the "office". There is no place to put notebook and connect it to AC if a... More

Camp Olowalu has a website with reservations - which do NOT work. Don't count on having a spot after using their website. The campground was just OK. It felt dusty and dirty, but it was quiet and the beach location was beautiful. We noticed that several campers were there for a long stretch and they seemed pretty happy with the... More
