We had the wonderful "quiet" time we were looking for. This turned out to be a perfect hideout even from Haleiwa. We explored north shore and went back to the tent to relax. If you are looking for a place with a camp feel this is the place to go. Every morning we woke up to the sound of birds and the sound of the flowing river. The lizards provided some entertainment too! The only thing we did not plan for was burning mosquito coils when we sat on the couch outside the tent to fend of some pesky mosquitoes. We kept the tent doors closed and did not have any trouble with mosquitoes while we slept.
