Cabin accommodations near Ewa Gentry, Hawaii exist on both the north shore and eastern coastline of Oahu. Located approximately 20 miles from Ewa Gentry, these cabin options provide varying levels of amenities and accessibility. The average temperature in this region ranges from 70-85°F year-round, creating consistent conditions for cabin stays throughout all seasons.
What to do
Paddleboarding in calm waters: Camp Mokuleia on the northwestern tip of Oahu offers excellent conditions for water activities. "The water is pretty mellow (at least during the summer) and is great for stand up paddling," notes Apryl E., who adds that this camp "is set up for anything from large groups (50+) to small families."
Rock climbing adventures: Camp Mokuleia provides access to nearby climbing opportunities. "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," according to Alan B.
Beach exploration: When staying at cabins along the coastline, visitors can access uncrowded beach areas. Brittany B. mentions that at Camp Mokuleia, "The beach area was really nice and not crowded at all," making it ideal for relaxed beach days with fewer tourists than more popular areas.
What campers like
Clean facilities: Cabin guests appreciate the well-maintained amenities. "The bathrooms and shower facilities were basic but very clean and were nicer than some of the other campgrounds," shares Brittany B. about her stay at Camp Mokuleia, which she called her "favorite campground I stayed at while on O'ahu!"
Wildlife viewing: Bellows Field Beach Park offers opportunities to observe marine life in its natural habitat. Campers should "Beware the manawar here when it's in season. They line up all along the beach," advises Sandy S., highlighting the seasonal marine presence visitors might encounter.
Wind protection: The northwestern shore provides shelter from strong winds that can affect other parts of the island. Stephanie Z. notes, "In January, the winds were strongest from the East... This side of the island gave us a break from the wind," making it a strategic location for winter cabin stays.
What you should know
Military access requirements: Some cabin facilities have restricted access. At Bellows Field Beach Park, "There is actually both a civilian and military campground. The civilian side is for the true camping enthusiast. The military side has both campgrounds and cabins, with a mini golf course and a mini-mart," explains Leilani P.
Pet restrictions: Hawaii has strict regulations regarding pets at campgrounds. One reviewer warns, "There are no dogs allowed on ANY Hawaii State Campground!!! Don't know if you know this or not. So if you have a dog in Hawaii, you cannot bring your loved one(s) camping anywhere."
Sand management: Fine Hawaiian sand can be challenging to manage. Sandy S. advises that at Bellows, "The sand here is so fine, it will make its way in to your rent, no matter how tight you close it up," suggesting extra precautions for keeping cabin interiors clean.
Tips for camping with families
Diverse accommodation options: YMCA Campground (Camp Mokule'ia) offers various sleeping arrangements. The property includes traditional cabins and "tent 'cabins' right on the beach" that provide shelter while still requiring campers to bring sleeping equipment.
Water safety considerations: Families should select beaches with appropriate conditions for children. Bellows is noted for its "waves are perfect for buggie boarding" according to Emily W., who adds that "the beach is peaceful. This spot has plenty of trees to set up a slack line and hammock to relax and play."
Proximity to supplies: When planning cabin stays, consider access to provisions. Camp Mokuleia is "about 15 minutes back to Haliewa where there are tons of restaurants, food cards, groceries and a Longs Drug," according to Stephanie Z., making resupply runs manageable even with children.
Tips from RVers
Limited hookup options: Kunia River Farm provides electric hookups but lacks water connections and sewer facilities. RVers should arrive with full water tanks and empty waste tanks, as the property offers toilets but no dump station or water hookups.
Space constraints: RV campers should note that none of the cabin camping areas near Ewa Gentry are designated as big-rig friendly. Smaller RVs and campervans have better accessibility at these locations, particularly at Bellows Field where drive-in access is available for appropriately sized vehicles.
