What It's Like Staying on Hawaii Beach for Cheap in $150 'Tentalow'
I recently went glamping in a 260-square-foot "tentalow" at Camp Olowalu in Hawaii for $150.
I got an oceanfront space with an alfresco shower and access to a toilet with running water.
It was a stress-free stay and I'd like to return — I just wish it was located on a better beach.

As a seasoned explorer of unconventional accommodations — such as a converted horse trailer and questionable camper van —I was eager to try going glamping in a "tentalow," a tent and bungalow hybrid.
For my glamping trip I visited Camp Olowalu on the island of Maui. The campground was established in 1955, though it's undergone many changes over the years. Today it offers an array of lodgings at various price points, from car or tent camping for $30 a night to a collective of six cabins for $1,650 a night.
Here's what it was like to stay in the 260-square-foot space, and why I'm thinking about returning with more friends next time.
