Camp Mokuleia

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Reservations are available and recommended at Camp Mokuleia, a privately managed beachfront campground on the northwestern shore of Oahu. Sites are large, with some positioned directly on the beach, and the property operates behind a gated entrance with keypad access. Campers can drive in, though cars are parked short of the sites themselves, making for a brief walk even to the farthest spots. The campground primarily serves groups and events, so crowd levels vary. Calling ahead to ask about scheduled events is worth the effort.

Facilities include drinking water, showers, toilets, picnic tables, and trash service, with water hookups available for RVs. The bathrooms are housed inside a yurt and are described by multiple reviewers as clean. One shared fire pit area serves the property. The northwestern location provides some shelter from the trade winds that can make camping on Oahu's eastern and southern shores difficult in winter months. Across the street, a skydiving operation means parachuters are a regular sight overhead throughout the day.

The campground sits within reach of several notable outdoor destinations. The Mokuleia Wall has over 60 rock climbing routes ranging from beginner to advanced. Ka'ena Point is accessible from here, and the filming location for the pilot of the television series "Lost" is a short walk away. Camp Mokule'ia and Mokuleia Camp 1 are nearby options to the east, and Peacock Flats - Mokuleia Forest Reserve sits a few miles southeast for those exploring the broader area. Haleiwa, roughly 15 minutes away, provides restaurants, groceries, and supplies. This campground works well for tent campers and small groups who want direct beach access with functioning facilities and staff on site.

Super Clean and Incredibly Friendly

I camped here in January 2021 during peak Covid closures when the campground was not yet re-opened for group camping.

In 'normal' times this campground is mostly used for events and it's well set up for that. If you're independently camping, I recommend calling ahead and reserving one of the sites on the beach. The sites are huge.

During covid they were only using every other site, and had installed a shower and sink at each one. The bathrooms are a walk away inside a yurt. We were assigned a bathroom for just our site and given a key for it.

The property has a gate with a code that you can go in and out as you please, and the staff were really helpful and kind.

There is one large fire pit area to share, and we had a table at our site. You are not able to drive in your car, but it's only a short walk, even to the furthest away sites.

We had the whole property to ourselves one night - but if you're visiting when events are operational, this might not be the case, so I recommend checking how busy they are when you call to reserve.

They also have tent 'cabins' right on the beach which were pretty nice (but you still bring your own mats and bags).

For me, the greatest thing about this site is that it is located on the NW side of Oahu. In January, the winds were strongest from the East and we had to vacate our other campground when winds were up to 20MPH off the ocean. This side of the island gave us a break from the wind.

It's a very short walk to "Lost Survivors Beach" (where they filmed the pilot of Lost) and a short and beautiful drive to the state park and hike where the road deadends just a few miles past the campground. For supplies, it's about 15 minutes back to Haliewa where there are tons of restaurants, food cards, groceries and a Longs Drug.

Quaint Campground

This was my favorite campground I stayed at while on O'ahu! It was the least expensive, and felt the safest. I had a tent spot right by the beach. The bathrooms and shower facilities were basic but very clean and were nicer than some of the other campgrounds. The staff were super friendly and helpful. There were a few groups there using their building and ropes course facilities, which was fun to watch. The beach area was really nice and not crowded at all.

Amazing spot if surfing and climbing!

This campground is very close to the highest concentration of rock climbs in all of Hawaii! The Mokule'ia wall has over 60 climbs ranging from beginner to expert and includes trad, sport, and toprope routes. One of the other things we loved about this site is the proximity to Ka'ena Point! It feels like you're standing out in the ocean without anything around it's such a small point! One of favorite places we hung out at during our trip to Hawaii

Great mellow beach area!

This campground is set up for anything from large groups (50+) to small families. There are cabins to rent out or places to pitch a tent. The water is pretty mellow (at least during the summer) and is great for stand up paddling. This is on the Northwestern tip of Oahu and is a must see. Across the street there is also a skydiving company, so throughout the day you will often times see parachuters appearing in the sky.
