Maleka Farm: Glamping — Attraction in Oʻahu

Do not recommend for tent camping.

The only positives are that the bathrooms are new and nice, campfires are allowed, and that the booking process was simple. Everything else left a lot to be desired.

The site itself was not as great as their description online makes it out to be. Upon arrival, it becomes painfully apparent that this is just some extra space on the farm that they decided to set up some tents in. It’s tiny and a bunch of the camp area is taken up by storage containers for farm supplies. The campsite is incredibly barren—the single tree hyped up in the online listing isn’t even located within the campsite itself and provides zero shade whatsoever. The neighboring field beyond the fence is filled with puddles of standing water. As a result, there were tons of mosquitos.

The farm owners are also very hands-off, as we didn’t see them at all during our stay. This has pros and cons…the biggest con being that the quiet hours weren’t really enforced. More on this later.

Both the field leading up to the camp and the central area of the campsite are riddled with tire ruts. This makes for a bumpy ride at best if you’re driving anything lower than a crossover SUV. At worst, you’ll be trapped in the site when it rains and the tire ruts become impassable mud.

The tent camping areas are also camper van stalls. As a result, there are shallow tire ruts that make finding a flat area to pitch a tent almost impossible. Since the campsite is so tiny, your tent will end up being very close to where other campers are driving their cars. Since the glampers and cabin dwellers didn’t need to do any set up, many of them arrived late in the evening, past the start of quiet hours. So it was fun trying to go to sleep while headlights shown on our tent, cars drove mere feet from where we were lying down, and campfires were being started.

Overall I would not recommend staying here due to the environment of the campsite and the lack of quiet hours...

Not recommended !!!!

The campsite is VERY SMALL, barren, and crowded with farm storage containers.Also there’s no shade. Mosquitos were everywhere due to standing water nearby. full of aunts.

The owners are hands-off, and quiet hours aren’t enforced. The grounds have deep tire ruts, making driving difficult and pitching a tent tricky. Cars drove close to tents late at night with headlights shining in, making it hard to sleep.

Overall, disappointing and...

If you want like a quiet place to stay while in Ohau, then this is the place. It's about 65 minutes from Honolulu. It's a quaint 2 bedroom rental apartment that even has a full size...
