Elevated tent platforms and jungle surroundings define this private campground where macadamia nut trees scatter across the forested property. Maui Tent Ohana sits on terrain that blends open areas with dense vegetation, creating a secluded atmosphere that campers consistently describe as removed from resort crowds yet accessible to town amenities.
The camping setup centers on raised platform tents equipped with real mattresses and box springs. An outdoor shower provides an open-air experience among the tropical vegetation, though privacy remains limited. A gazebo serves as a communal gathering space, while BBQ grills and occasional bonfires add to the social elements when conditions permit. Jonz notes it's a "peaceful, tropical place to camp with Iao Mountain views." The property includes fruit and avocado trees, and a short hike leads to a swimming hole upstream.
Electric hookups support basic power needs, while drinking water, toilets, and showers handle essential amenities. Cell service reaches the property, and both campfires and alcohol are permitted. The access road can present rough conditions, particularly during wet weather when jungle rains frequently visit the area. Despite the rustic elements, the location provides quick access to Whole Foods and other town services. For those exploring the broader region, camping areas near Wailuku offer additional options within the central valley.
This setup works best for campers comfortable with outdoor living elements and seeking an alternative to conventional resort accommodations.
Description
*Aloha Please Read to the Bottom of this Page! Maui Private Location. This is such a good deal. *
This elevated camping experience evokes a peaceful surrounding of nature with the sound of birds. The open-air tent includes two xl-twin beds with bedding and towels. It is very private; there are no other campers around.
The private tent is on a platform with an outdoor sitting area under an awning (in case of rain), plenty of space for gear, and LED night-time lighting. A toilet is nearby, a cooler, tables, and chairs are also provided.
The quaint Maui jungle/forest setting is on shared land with a host or hostess on site. For “Lovers of Nature” (hint, hint.) it is a unique experience.
The shared space includes a Spa Like Outdoor Shower and Restroom, picturesque views, and a hiking trail just a few steps away. The outdoor sitting and eating area in the Gazebo is very relaxing.
Fair-priced “Extras” are available after check-in.
The toilet by the tent is intended for sssssss only, primarily for girls (sorry, guys)
If you need anything, please ask. I am sure I can find what you need.
Here are some do's and dont's that will make your trip perfect. Aloha & Mahalo
Do bring mosquito repellent. DO NOT spray the tent or bedding or chairs, etc., with bug spray or essential oils. Put your repellent on you and your clothing only ---please! Do bring repellent to the shower area.
Do raise your feet when entering a tent. It is not flat and can cause you to stumble or fall.
Do leave your shoes outside If it rains or is muddy. Rain causes everything to be very slippery and muddy, so take each step with caution.
Do not leave food in the tent or the garbage can. All food waste can be put in the tall cane grass and will be used by the natural critters. Ask me for an extra garbage sack or paper bag if you plan to drink anything in a recyclable can or bottle. We kindly and firmly want this private site to be a Leave No Trace Area.
Do keep the bottom zipper part of the tent entrance closed as much as possible; this will keep most bugs out.
Do rinse your dishes in the grassy area or other places away from the tent.
DO consider travelers’ insurance. Air traffic delays, rental car shortages, and changes in weather conditions.
Do recycle. There is a bag on the chair for cans and bottles.
If it has or is raining or will, a 4-wheel drive vehicle will be needed. We have other parking within walking distance in case of slippery mud. Keep in mind if you need to leave the site at any time and the weather may get wet then use the lower parking for the wet season We have parking a few feet away from the tent for those who need to leave early in the morning.
Contract and Waiver* I will need a picture of your driver's license and anyone who will be camping with you for all our protection. Please read the damage to property from The Dyrt site so that you know this works since we do not hold deposits.
I/We at this moment waive, release, and discharge any claims for damages for personal injury, death, or property damage which the renter(s) may have, or which may hereafter accrue to me, as a result of participation in outdoor tent camping and use of expressed facilities of the property as listed in the Contract.
I/we have been told that we are camping and parking our vehicle in a macadamia nut tree forest and the macadamia nuts drop 9 months of the year and may put a dent in your vehicle. Vehicle parking away from the tent is available upon request. It is understood that this activity involves an element of risk and danger of accidents, knowing and unknowing risks; I/We, at this moment, assume those risks.
Pre-payment through camping platforms made online, such as The Dyrt, or other platforms, made with your credit card or debit card, creates a contract between you and your guest and us at Maui Tent Ohana.
IN CASE OF RAIN OR HIGH WINDS. We do not offer refunds due to weather conditions. Always be prepared for winds and rain while camping. Our tent is on a platform, so water getting into the tent is highly unlikely. There is a rain fly on the tent and a 20 x 20 ft tarp, just for this reason. Our Core Brand tent can handle 40 mph winds. Mother Nature or the Weather is an Unpredictable Force of Nature; we request you participate for the safety of yourself and others.
