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. Learn more about this land: Aloha! Looking for a place to lounge and adventure? Mangrove Lounge is the place for you! Mangrove Lounge is located right behind the historical town called Haleiwa Town. Camper Vans or RVs are more than welcome! During the day, enjoy access to a private river where you can take your fishing pole and catch yourself some dinner. After a busy day, enjoy a nice hot bath in a private shower under the stars, along with a flushing toilet and sink. Upon request and additional charge, end your adventure with a cozy night next to the fire pit ($28.00 for fire pit). Mangrove Lounge is 3-5 minutes (driving) away from many beaches and eateries in Haleiwa town where you can also do all your shopping. Less than a mile away, you can find all the delicious food trucks including the famous Giovanni Shrimp Truck. You can find your nearest supermarket just 1.2 miles away called Malama Market, and Longs Drug Store right across the street from Malama Market. Mangrove Lounge provides clean bathroom, a shower with hot water, access to a private river for relaxing or fishing, spacious camping tents if requested for $30.00-$40.00 your entire stay, about 800ft from the nearest bus stop, and secured privacy so you and your friends or family can relax, feel safe, and most importantly...have fun! 😊 Details about each campsite lounge: -Each campsite lounge provides a spacious area for tents or campervans. -Picnic table big enough to fit four people comfortably. -Garbage bins for trash. -Water hose located all around campsite for guests to use. - Access to a private river. -If its not a cloudy night, the stars here at Mangrove Lounge is beautiful. -Bathroom facility is sanitized and cleaned everyday. **What you should bring: 1. Mosquito repellents 2. Shower essentials **What you should know: - I will be messaging you the day before you arrive to ask about your check in time. If possible, please stay in contact. - Please drive very slowly going in and out of campgrounds. Mahalo! Feel free to message me on Hipcamp if you have any questions about Mangrove Lounge, and I hope to see you there. Mahalo!

Kauilani is a fantastic host!

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!

This is a nice place with a nice host, who is very accommodating. There are lots of little perks, such as subtle lighting, warm shower, great portable solar lamp, potable water, tarp, hammer, and pegs etc.., plus the most amazing dawn chorus from all the birds and gentle lapping of the nearby brackish water. For one person it’s definitely too expensive @$85 per night +taxes & fees. Much better value for a group or family. At this price it’s appropriate to have more than one toilet on site. You do feel secure here, and there’s excessive 0 mph signs on the way in. Trust me, if a rogue gust of wind makes your car go to 3 mph, you’ll receive feedback. Mahalo for an enjoyable stay for my birthday 😊

This is a lovely place to stay with a great host. We loved our spot down by the ocean and only wished for one more night. The hot showers were a nice treat after three days of beach showers. Highly recommend this stay.

We loved staying on this property! Very beautiful property and welcoming host . Bathroom and shower was a neat set up very clean ! Property was very easy to find with the directions . Great location to explore the north shore . Host was very quick to answer and very helpful with suggestions! Price is a bit steep especially if you are already renting a van compared to other HipCamps . Was hoping to be a bit closer to the beach .

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!

Super quiet and nice experience - tucked away but close to all amenities. Host is very kind and helpful! Great tent/picnic table areas to utilize. Great for our camper-van experience
