Sean and Cecilie have a tidy rental business. All items were clean, functional, well organized. Has everything necessary for a worry free car camping experience.
What I loved: response time was excellent. I only loosely shared my itinerary, my error. But was able to coordinate pickup within an hour of arrival, and dropoff the morning hours before my flight home.
The gear had more than I had needed (eg paracord). Maybe if I was pinching pennies and cooked 100% of the time on a camp stove I wouldve used all the cooking gear more. Two mostly full propane cannisters included.
Camp Olowalu is a gem. Provided hammock is bliss.
What was adequate: Troy and Cecilia's campground in Hana is beautiful, and also basic. Cold showers and hot portapottys. It is twice the nightly price of Camp Olowalu. Understandably, no wifi, charging outlets, cell reception.
The tent is basic, cheap to replace. The elastic band within one of the tent poles was snapped and had bent segments. Was still functional. I used to run camping tours in the southwest. The tents we used were ancient but we replaced bent poles, kept the stuff in shape. I reconnected the broken elastic ends with an albright knot, and didnt have a problem setting up the tent. Rainfly worked fine, especially as I got an afternoon of rain in Hana on day 3. I didn't bother with the tie down lines included because there were no extra stakes.
What I thought could be better: A rubber mallet. Driving the plastic tent poles into the dirt was a minor PITA. Sometimes there was a lava rock nearby, other times SOL. Yes, there probably is hard lava rock 3inches below topsoil. I wouldn't know because I could only get the stakes at most 1.5 inches into the earth. Luckily it wasn't that windy. But I was very perplexed why a mallet or a hammer was not included in the list.
Headlamp was nearly dead, AAA batteries within were corroded. Replacement AAA were dead.
Plastic camping spork broke on first use. I felt bad, I thought I misused it. I would have preferred metal cutlery.
