Location is fantastic and bed was comfortable. but unfortunately the accommodation wasn’t clean. The cabin had hair in the broom, was full of flies, a simple vacuum would have been good.
The location was beautiful! Very quiet and had the beach all to ourselves! The yurt was rustic and the mini fridge was only good for beverages (wouldn’t trust it for perishables). Have the mindset that you are camping (with a bed and blankets) and be there for the location!
Check in was simple, and the cabin was very clean. The view from the rooftop was spectacular. Thank you for the experience!

Disliked: Amenities
We stayed in a yurt, so didn’t expect luxury accommodation. But, the ocean is just outside our accommodation, and we loved the sound of the waves when going to sleep and morning coffee on a deserted beach was awesome.
A great all around experience - the property offers an experience to unplug from the resort life!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
We enjoyed staying in this yurt. It's right on the ocean, with plenty of scenic beauty and solitude. The only issue was that it should have cost about half as much as we paid ($400+). We stayed at other places on Oahu that were nicer and more affordable.
An undercover area would be good but only because it rained every day. Facilities (pool etc) reserved for school groups, wifi terrible. But it is basically the cheapest accommodation on the north shore so gotta take that into account

Our stay was part of a week long adventure in Hawaii. The view was beautiful.. sunset stunning The tent clean and comfortable bed. Outdoor toilets and shower were as expected. As a non resident this turned into our most expensive 2 nights.
A warm welcome from the team for our stay, cabin was great, the team were very helpful, the area is stunningly beautiful with a wonderful beach , they also helped when we got a puncture with a local garage. Cabin was clean and well supplied . Would happily visit again.
Camp Erdman is a hidden gem! My family loved being right on the beach. The yurt had everything we needed except a beach chair. We will definitely come back!
Such a breath of fresh air! Only people on the beach were the few guests staying there too. Recommend watching the sunset down the road a ways at Ka’Ena Point!
Our stay in the yurts at camp erdman was AMAZING! The breeze that came through the windows at night was so nice for sleeping, the outdoor showers were so nice and there were new covered toilets which was awesome. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. We had a slight power outage issue and they got someone to come and fix it asap. We would absolutely love to stay again ❤️
If your looking to get away and be one with nature than this is your destination. Beautiful scenic views from mauka to makai and very isolate. This is a must return happy to have found this.

Gorgeous and peaceful
Beautiful beach front yurts on an almost.deserted beach on Oahu. We would definitely stay there again. I would term this experience as "glamping". We cooked outside on a grill and had an outdoor bathhouse with running water.
Can’t beat the location and freedom being located directly on the beach with unrestricted access. Loved all the Humpback whale activity, sunrises and sunsets❤️ Only disappointment was the lack of hot water. Cabin was equipped with a new water heater which wasn’t working. Was quite impressed overall and wish to stay there again🤗
