Weekend Trip to Charming Kahuku camp
Great experience - despite the rain, the host did everything to make our stay comfortable, including providing iced coffee and a nice McDonald's breakfast in the morning. The cabin itself was comfortable, and horses, cows and roosters around were just adorable.

We loved this place so much! It is 100% surrounded by nature, which made it feel peaceful and special.
The room was clean and very comfortable. We slept really well.
We felt very connected to nature. We could park the car close to us, and there is a nice outdoor area to relax and enjoy the view. The host helped us connect so we could charge our phone, which we really appreciated.
Waking up and seeing the animals in the morning was beautiful. We would definitely stay here again. 🌿

3 nights at Charming Kahuku camp
I rented the ‘Aloha Mini’ for 3 nights while staying on Henry’s farm- it was a nice upgrade from camping and was a perfect for me! Wouldn’t have more than 2 people to share that space however** The Aloha Mini was quaint and a cozy shelter during the stormy nights. The bed inside the trailer was pleasantly comfortable! Henry has done a wonderful job with keeping the area covered from any potential rain with multiple canopy tents set up. If it does rain, expect some decent muddy areas!
During my first morning, I was greeted by one of the horses casually walking around the property; spooked me at first but was a wicked cool thing to wake up too!
You can tell that Henry cares for his land and for his HipCamp travelers- him & another fella were activity upgrading the shower stall, making it a very private area to wash the day away.
I didn’t explore the farm too much, but there are tons of animals and even some puppies to say hello to! The location is extremely ideal when visiting the north shore- I would pack up my car and go spend most of the day in the north shore towns, but always came back for the Kahuku food truck options for dinner! TARO HUT! ✨🍔
If you’re looking for safety, comfort, convenience, and privacy, Henry’s charming farm tucked up in the hills near the wind towers, will be a perfect fit for you.

1 night at Charming Kahuku camp
This was a nice stay! Although it was basic, it served the purpose and was just what I needed. Quiet, and the host was nice to check in and see if I needed anything. The animals were very sweet and nice to visit. The only feedback I have is about the shower- the shower curtain was quite flimsy and thin, and there was no additional door or changing area. Especially as a solo female traveler, I would have preferred a door or a sturdier/less see-through curtain. Thank you!

Excellent location, safe and not too far from everything. Close to turtle bay beach. Lots of animals and the little one really enjoy. Henry is very friendly and responsive. Very nice private area, with the extended cover and lounge chair outside the rv. Will return for sure.

First of all Henry is an amazing host. Generous and helpful. He cherishes the land and it shows. You really feel that this is a place to reenergize after a long day. It’s secluded enough to be peaceful but close enough to be able to go enjoy the island.

This was good for a one night stop on our trip around the island - nothing too fancy but not too shabby either. Inside the trailer is quite literally just the mattress, but Henry has laid out a nice outdoor area to hang out. Cold water only for the shower and bathroom is two port-a-potties, which is fine when camping. Host was very responsive and maintained privacy.

It was the best choice I made for my short stay in Hawaii, I stayed there for 4 nights. Ben and Henry were very welcoming and friendly! It’s was a beautiful experience living in a farm, natural alarm clock (rooster)! The camper was clean and well ventilated, mattress was comfortable. 3 mins drive to the beach, food trucks and grocery. Had no issues at all and would definitely come back!

I had a great time at this spot. The land is beautiful and the bed was very comfortable. There are a lot of very nice touches like some lights that turn on when it gets dark. The hosts were very welcoming. It is also quite a large amount of land and furniture that is provided at this site. Overall I think this is a great place to stay on the north shore, especially for the low price!

Really nice campsite, with friendly hosts! The hut isn't big - but much nicer than a tent. The outdoor area is very nice, with tarps against the sun and rain, comfy seating, big table - and nice lights during the night. The farm has animals just a short walk away. The location is very calm and private and slept really well.
Would definitely come again. Thanks!

The best forest cabin rentals in Oahu guide
Where to go
North Shore
With more than 51 (count ‘em!) beaches and waves reaching up to 30 feet in the winter months, Oahu’s North Shore boasts some of Hawaii’s most legendary surf breaks. Check into the state campground at Malaekahana or snag an oceanside campsite at Hau'ula Beach, go surfing and snorkeling at Sunset Beach or Waimea Beach, or head inland to explore the Waimea Valley and cool off beneath Waimea Falls.
Windward Coast
Hemmed in by the lush peaks of the Koʻolau Mountains, Oahu’s eastern shore offers a change of pace from the buzzing resort towns of the North Shore. Grab a kayak or paddleboard to paddle the coast at Kailua and Lanikai beaches, pitch your tent by the hiking trails of the Ahupua'a O Kahana State Park, or camp with a view of the mountains at Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden.
Leeward Coast
The western Leeward or Wai’anae Coast is Oahu’s least developed, making it the ideal spot to escape the crowds. Set out on a scenic road trip, climbing through the Waianae Mountains and hopping between sleepy seaside towns and secluded beaches along the coast. Campers can take their pick of five public beachside campgrounds, but make sure you get a permit.
South Oahu
Most travelers pass through Honolulu, Hawaii’s fun-loving capital, where the only urban campsite is located at Sand Island, right on Honolulu Harbor. Once you’ve explored the city, head out to Waikiki Beach, famous for its white sands, surf schools, and nightlife, or continue east to the Hanauma Bay marine conservation area to snorkel amid schools of tropical fish and sea turtles.
Central Oahu
Just west of Honolulu, the National Historic Landmark of Pearl Harbor is the site of one of the most pivotal World War II attacks, and it’s the main reason why travelers venture into central Oahu. Inland, there’s camping at Keaiwa Heiau State Recreation Area, known for its sacred Keaiwa Heiau temple.
