Is There Glamping in Hawaii? | Camp Olowalu | Maui, Wall Tent, Car Camping & Cabins | Outdoor Shower

I’ve camped on Maui Island for about two decades, off and on, and it is where I learned to be a confident solo traveler.
Camp Olowalu can be found at the base of the West Maui mountains, in a lush area that has held the fascination of travelers and explorers for hundreds of years.
Located next to the Maui "mother reef" of Olowalu, it is an area rich in sea life including sea turtles, brilliant fish, and yes -- even a tiger shark or two (be careful out there).
This video focuses mainly on the tentalow area of the property, although there are also areas for tent camping, car camping, and a conference center with seaside cabins as well.
The lack of electricity in the tentalows is hardly noticed, with solar powered lights in the evening and propane powered hot water heaters for the private, open-air showers.
This is truly a one-of-a-kind experience in the islands, and it's one I will return to again.
Some prices, at the time of the video shoot (check the website for current pricing):
Tent camping (not the tentalows): $26 plus tax, per person per night
Tentalow - regular size: $145 plus tax, for two people per night
Tentalow - large family size: $195 plus tax, for four people per night
Prices and rules may change. Go to the Camp Olowalu website for reservations or more information.

Did I miss the part where you talk about pricing ?

It’s in the description page since it changes so often. I adjusted the video title to make it clearer. Thanks for the heads up - I really appreciate it. Are you planning a trip to Maui?

Is it safe to camp in Maui or any other island in hawaii ?

I’ve tent camped at Hosmer Grove on the summit of Haleakala, cabin camped at Waianapanapa State Park near Hana, tent camped and hostel camped at Camp Keanae, and tent camped and glanced at Camp Olowalu - with most of those on my own. I’ve never had any problems myself, but some people do. I never swim alone or after dark, I’m always on the lookout for scorpions and spiders, I keep to myself at my campsite, and I am always respectful to local folks. I’m not sure how or if the local culture on Maui has changed toward visitors since the tragic Lahaina fire, but just like camping anywhere - lock valuables up, be kind, go with the flow, and trust your instincts. I always have a backup plan, always camp in established state or county or private campgrounds, and never try to camp in a place that has a “locals only” vibe. I figure the amazing people of Maui might need a break taking care of tourists like me, so I don’t crowd in to their special places - even if books like Maui Revealed encourage it. I hope that helps!
