This is maybe a place for folks that have never camped and live in the city. I wanted to love it and have been trying to get my friends to go for a while. So decided to go for my birthday. It is basically as much as staying at the Outrigger. I asked for Kama Aina as I am a Big Island resident...denied. I noticed Air B&B discount for booking and was denied that as well.
I decided to go forward based on my curiosity and love of the pictures. I do not read reviews so not sure if I might have been persuaded not to go. I still have not read any reviews.
The biggest issue is the noise. Dogs barking all night into the am, cars and the smell of the dome. It is like sleeping inside a plastic bag...toxic. The fans are caked with old dust and dirt. We tried to stay outside as much as possible and did enjoy the fire. Luckily, we brought our own dry wood as the wood provided was wet. I do wish I had a better review.
The stars were great on the clear night:)
