Weekend Trip to Living Circle Farms Hawaii
I hosted a birthday camping experience for 12 adults at Living Circle Farms, and it was a perfect choice to bring my vision to life. I had a Jurassic Park theme. Sooo much fun! There are lots of interesting spaces around the property to hang out and relax during downtime, the views are beautiful, and the location feels peaceful while still being close to other activities and resources on North Shore.
We stayed in all of the available lodging spaces (cabin, yurt, and rv spaces in tents), which worked really well for a group event with a lot going on. The grounds are flexible and ideal for hosting activities, gathering people together, or letting folks spread out and enjoy the setting.
I personally stayed in the cedar cabin (super comfortable with a great view) and the yurt (so well designed!)
For the group experience, since I didn’t reserve the entire venue, I had to reserve each lodging site individually (seven total). It was a bit tedious, but it’s required for their venue insurance, so it made sense once explained. Also, the cabin floors aren’t fully sealed, so a few bugs made their way inside, and it’s smart to do a quick bathroom check before using, especially during rainy season.
Early communication (during the research phase) was a little inconsistent due to urgent venue needs, but overall, Kristian was awesome!!!!!! He's helpful, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making the experience great. I’d absolutely book again. I had a GREAT time.

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!

The best camping in Oahu with campfires 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.
