Camp Olowalu

Gorgeous, quiet, (almost) everything you need

What a darling little spot. Would return in a heartbeat, and honestly probably will before the month is up. Had two glorious nights there and now I don't want to camp anywhere else in Maui because I was so spoiled.

Pros

  • To echo other folks, absolutely LOVED the outdoor showers - and yes, they get hot. Felt utterly luxurious. Toilets and sinks remain clean and odorless. 
  • Easy sandy beach access! Pebble-side great for hanging up hammocks.
  • Can take relatively affordable kayaking tours from the campgrounds or rent SUP/kayaks for very affordable rates. 
  • Free coffee in the morning! 
  • Has its own teensy general store and a walkable larger market down a half mile and across the street. Famed pie place next door. 
  • Pet-friendly!

Cons

  • Literally 8 plugs for a bajillion people causing a massive traffic jam in the mornings and evenings. On the side of the ice house only (not even near campgrounds).
  • Not that you need it, but if you do - weak wifi signal beyond the toilet/shower area. 
  • Absolutely no shade at all on any sites, save for one campsite (campsite #1). 
  • Beware the wind!!! Because it's open air with no shielding trees, sooo many people evacuated to sleep in cars or resigned to/woke up to collapsed tents because of high winds. 

Overall

4.5/5. Absolutely worth it. LOOOOOVE.
