With endless summer weather, camping in Hawaii is an absolute dream. From rustic campgrounds found deep within the rainforest to those nestled along the beach, there are countless camping opportunities across the main Hawaiian Islands.

But if you’ve never been camping – let alone know which gear to purchase or borrow for a stress-free camping trip – pitching a tent and sleeping on the ground can seem a little daunting. Luckily, there’s a secluded paradise hiding in Maui that is a “glamping” – you know, glamorous camping – paradise.

Though located just six miles southeast of Lahaina, you’ll feel like you’re a million miles away from it all at Camp Olowalu.

Camp Olowalu’s "tentalows" - part bungalow, part tent, all enchanting - are an incredible, cost-effective alternative to the pricey resorts you’ll find across the island.

Raised-platform tentalows are the perfect blend of camping’s simplicity and the comfort of great night’s sleep. They feature outdoor showers, a charming porch, solar lighting, and plenty of space to stash your stuff.
