About this property

#5 North Shore Oahu Camping / Glamping Tent Laie

This simple accommodation creates a distraction free space to reconnect. You’ll love peering over the banana trees and watching the sun disappear beyond the mountain. There is incredible stargazing at this site. To top off your vacation bliss, the glamping tent is just a half mile from the beach!

What to Expect:
Tent: 2 Queen Beds with solar powered string lights, towels, and picnic area for reminiscing about the days adventure. (Running on solar energy, please help us conserve power by using energy thoughtfully.)

ENERGY:
To help us preserve energy, please charge all devices during daylight hours and avoid charging at night. Turn off the fans when gone for the day. The site runs on solar power and when everyone charges overnight, there may not be enough power for the bathrooms so we will have to wait for the sun to come up to give us energy.

Shared Off‑Grid Bathhouse: Solar powered, flushing toilets, and showers but no potable water. Currently running cold. Guests should be conservative with their water use since this is an off-grid facility with limited supply.

Geckos – These friendly little lizards are part of Hawaiian life. You’ll likely see them on walls or ceilings. They're harmless and actually help control insects, but if you're not used to wildlife, it's something to consider.

Wildlife & Insects: Nature plays host to local critters—frogs, geckos, chickens and yes, mosquitoes, and ants—so please don’t be surprised if you see them. We do our best with treating the surrounding areas to keep bugs to a minimal. We ask you to clean up after yourselves and seal/close any leftover food to help keep the insects to a minimum.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS CAMPING IN HAWAII, it is not a luxurious accommodation. (I know, we’ve said it a couple of times but it’s important that you know and that you are not caught off guard.) We cannot control the weather and we cannot control the bugs. Expect bugs, mud when it rains, geckos and wild chickens.

SUGGESTION: Check the weather report in advance to ensure that you are prepared for any weather conditions that could occur. Bring any bug repellent that you might need. Hawaii's rainy season is from October-March. Keep in mind that Hawaii is a tropical island so PLEASE be prepared for mosquitoes and other insects.

We didn't actually end up staying here, so this review is for the host! On the day of our arrival, Oahu experienced extreme rain, flooding, and muddy roads. The host contacted us right away and warned us of the conditions. They offered a full refund if we didn't want to risk the drive to this location. We accepted the offer and easily found backup accommodations in Waikiki, even though that wasn't our ideal location.I can't tell you how much we appreciated this communication - the last thing we would have wanted was a car stuck in the mud with two kiddos in the backseat.It was also easy to resolve everything with VRBO. Thank you!

Disliked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We had an incredibly disappointing and stressful experience at this glamping site. For a place advertised as "glamping," the lack of basic amenities was unacceptable.No Water or Electricity: There was absolutely no running water or electricity at the bathrooms on the 2nd day during our stay. Dealing with these conditions in total darkness and without sanitation is not what we paid for.Dangerous Road Conditions: The access road to the site was extremely risky to drive. We felt unsafe and were nearly trapped due to the poor road maintenance.
