    Camp Mokuleia

    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.

    Bellows Field Beach Park

    Oahu camping

    Camping in hawaii is special no matter the time and place. Bellows has been a favorite because the waves are perfect for buggie boarding and the beach is peaceful. This spot has plenty of trees to set up a slack line and hammock to relax and play.

    Bellows Field Beach Park

    White Sandy Beach of Military Paradise

    Oahu's famous east coast is lined with beautiful white sandy beaches, and Bellows is somewhat of a hidden gem. Why? Because you need to have military access to enjoy this beautiful beach park. Go for a short drive from Waikiki along the scenic southeast coast and keep going past Makapuu Lighthouse bend, and you'll see some of the most sea-green bluest waters ever. Keep going past Waimanalo Beach Park and you'll be at the entrance of Bellows. You can keep going on the long driveway in, but you'll need military access or sponsorship to get in.

    Bellows Field Beach Park

    Civilian and Military campground.

    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. The cabins have partial ktchen necessities, 2-3 bedrooms 1 bath. You must be active or retired to enter and reserve these military sites.

    Camp Mokuleia

    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

    Bellows Field Beach Park

    Relaxing.

    Besides the loud music during the day which wasn't to bothersome because that campsite was at the end, it was a great stay. Only suggestion is to bring fly tape or fly traps. A screen tent would be a superb addition. Being close to the beach is awesome, great for families, fisherman or divers.

    Bellows Field Beach Park

    Good base camp for Oahu

    You need to be active or a veteran of the military to rent the cabins but the other side is set for civilians. Amazing views with climbing nearby at Makapu'u point/lighthouse. This beach is good for relaxing but the beach just the the NW of Makapu'u is great if you're a decent surfer or bodyboarder.

    Bellows Field Beach Park

    Military grounds

    Great cabins on ground, but you'll have to be military to rent. Civilians can tent camp on the opposite side. The sand here is so fine, it will make its way in to your rent, no matter how tight you close it up. Beware the manawar here when it's in season. They line up all along the beach..

    Camp Mokuleia

    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.


Guide to Ewa Gentry

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.
