I never got bored living here. Every day I got to wake up and go to the beach just minutes away from home, or my cousins and I would have a fishing contest to see who could catch the most fish. We would also go paddling up the river to lay nets down to catch some ono (delicious) crab for dinner.

We had such a wonderful time at Mangrove Lounge! The atmosphere is unique and relaxing, and the setting by the water made it feel extra special. We rented a gazebo tent and it was amazing—spacious, comfortable, and perfect for our family. Surprisingly, there were little to no mosquitoes (a huge plus for being right on the water!).
The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. They kept the restrooms clean daily, offered support promptly via text when needed, and gave us complete privacy the rest of the time. We were a big crew and even had extra guests visit one day, and they were still so kind and accommodating.
Even when the weather wasn’t ideal, the trees provided great coverage from the rain and kept us comfortable and dry. The location itself is perfect—there are spots to fish and paddleboard right on-site, and it’s only a short drive to all of the best North Shore beaches. Sarah, our host, went above and beyond by texting with me for weeks before our trip to make sure this was the right booking for our family. She shared details about the location and plenty of ideas of things to do in the area, which made our stay even more enjoyable.
We truly appreciated their hospitality and the care they put into making our stay enjoyable. Highly recommend Mangrove Lounge for anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable getaway, we’ll definitely be back!

It was a great experience with the family. The hot water showers and toilet was definitely a plus. Everyone was sweet and loved the table and platform that came with our site. So close to town and polo beach. We will definitely be coming back. Also we were able to drive the camper right up. Very well maintained and clean

Kauilani is incredibly responsive to messages and encourages feedback about the campsite. We had no constructive criticism to offer because everything exceeded our expectations. From the solar lantern on the picnic table to illuminate the campsite to the impeccably clean hot shower and flush toilet, our stay was very enjoyable and we would certainly return. We recommend the bonfire / firewood add-on because Kauilani provides a Solo Stove with a wind-proof lighter, fire starters, a Duraflame log + hardwood logs in a waterproof tote tub to get your fire going quickly and effectively. Our fire burned for hours even through several bouts of rain. Lastly, we were impressed that there was a nice, large stainless steel utility sink, water spigot in our site, and not a whiff of mildew on the shower curtain or in the restroom - it actually smelled quite pleasant! Lastly, Kauilani provided a detailed list of recommendations for local establishments and was very warm and welcoming. We highly recommend the Mangrove Lounge!

It was a really nice campground. The owner set up everything we asked for really well and provided extra stakes that were helpful as I forgot the ones for my tent. The river is good for paddle boarding and had a good launch area to the ocean. We were the only campers there so that was a plus as we got the shower and site to ourselves. Would recommend!

The location on the north shore is very central and convenient. Even with other campers on the property we still felt like we had our own little corner to hang out. The campsight is very peaceful except the ubiquitous Hawaiian wild chickens in the morning. Kauilani was always super responsive and helpful. She kindly suggested several restaurants and beaches for us to explore that were spot on. I would recommend this location to anyone with RV or tent to stay at.

We loved our time here! Location is fantastic-- quiet, fun fishing and close to the North Shore beaches for swimming. The host was very communicative and helpful. Shower and bathroom/sink was great as were the platforms. It's really quiet at night (other than the sound of waves!). During the daytime there was some construction noise from across the river but that didn't bother us at all.

My husband and I stayed here with my good friend and we absolutely LOVED it. Kauilani was so sweet and helpful during our stay. The heated shower was a huge seller for us and it worked amazingly. Also, having the option to rent a tent and other supplies was so handy. This is our new go-to spot when staying on Oahu! Thank you so much, Kauilani!
