Taylor Camp resident Diane Daniells built this tree house with lumber from an old plantation camp house.
Where the road ends on Kauai’s north shore, a group of hippies in the early 1970s lived in an off-grid Hawaii community of tree houses, grew their hair long, smoked weed and chose to go nude. Taylor Camp, as it would become known, was named after Kauai resident Howard Taylor, the brother of actress Elizabeth Taylor. Howard owned the 7 acres of land in Haena, a scenic coastline of white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and a tropical abundance of streams, caves and green cliffs. It was in 1969 that Howard welcomed homeless men, women and children to live on his beachfront property, with no rules or rent to pay. “We’ve had no trouble,” Howard said in a 1970 Honolulu Star-Bulletin article. “Most of them are just here while they make up their minds to return to the ‘Establishment’ world and what they want to do there.”
The 1960s arrival of hippies to Kauai was the island’s introduction to Western counterculture, people who defied societal norms — and there were many members of the public and politicians who complained and hated the camp’s existence. In its heyday, Taylor Camp’s population grew to about 100 people, living in about two dozen structures. People continued to live there until 1977, when the county raided it and burned the houses to the ground.
Located on the north shore of Kauai, Taylor Camp was situated on Limahuli Stream in Haena, a coastline with white sandy beaches and turquoise waters.
When Howard moved to Kauai, he never expected to create a hippie community. He had been living on Oahu, working at the University of Hawaii, and fell in love with the Garden Island. He bought the beachfront property in Haena, moved his family to Kauai, and planned to build a home for his wife and five kids.
“He was an oceanographer and cartographer, and he was an extremely talented artist,” photographer John Wehrheim tells SFGATE on a call from Bhutan. Wehrheim knew Taylor and visited the camp many times. He published a book and produced a documentary film on Taylor Camp, interviewing and photographing many of its residents. “They bought the property, couldn’t get a building permit, no one would tell him why. They were giving him the old local-style stall,” continues Wehrheim. “He eventually found out that the state had plans to create a state park out of that land, cause you know where it is, it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world.”

Left in limbo with no way forward, Howard bought land elsewhere on the island and abandoned his Haena land, until he found a purpose for it in 1969. It was then that he learned that 13 hippie campers, men, women and children, were arrested on the island for vagrancy at a beach near Lihue after overstaying their permit. A judge sentenced all of them to 90-day jail sentences.
“These folks were from Berkeley — I think there were thirteen — they were having a lot of problems,” Tommy Taylor, Howard’s son, said in Wehrheim’s book. “My dad was concerned for these folks. Local guys were beating them up. I think one of the women had been raped and there were a lot of letters to the editor saying, ‘We ought to put them on a plane and send them back where they came from.’” Wanting to help and, as some accused, out of spite, Howard and his wife picked them all up from the jail and took them to his Haena property to live. He enjoyed the company of the campers, some of whom were highly educated. “The campers wanted to escape the Mainland, the political situation, the Vietnam War. They were dropping out, trying to get away and these people found Kauai,” Tommy said.
Elizabeth Taylor visited Howard on Kauai during the Christmas of 1969; that was the last time Howard was seen at the camp. Soon, word spread about Taylor Camp. People from around the world found themselves there, sometimes by happenstance, other times by word of mouth.

The original 13 did not stay long, but a new wave of people took their place, including hippies, surfers, vets, a doctor and lawyers, who kept the camp going and created its free-spirited lifestyle. “It was a great experimental living situation. There were no rules. There was nothing you signed when you came in the door, it just unfolded — happened naturally,” Cherry Hamilton, who moved to Kauai from Miami, told Wehrheim in the book. “There was a co-op. There was a church,” she continued. “There would be wild full moon parties, thirty-foot waves rushing under our houses, bongos playing madly at midnight and babies being born.”
This map of Taylor Camp was created by Big Island artist and former Taylor Camp resident Patricia Leo, which provides a snapshot of the village.
As the years went on, the camp created its own water system and landfill. It had a communal toilet and negotiated with the county for a local school bus stop and garbage pickups. Meanwhile, the newspapers focused their attention on the camp’s use of marijuana , potential for diseases and politicians’ complaints. “The guy who built his legal and political career on hating hippies was the [Kauai] mayor,” says Wehrheim. Aside from the government, there were neighbors who complained, too. The Hanalei Community Association sent a letter to the county in 1970 writing that the camp was likely a “breeding place for disease, immorality and drug abuse and may also serve as a sanctuary for criminals.” Taylor Camp did attract its share of unsavory characters, but those types of people didn’t last long, says Wehrheim, and were “vibed out,” since it was a small, tight knit community.
“There were drug addicts, there were heroin addicts there, there were people selling cocaine in the later days when that happened,” says Wehrheim. “But there were drug addicts and alcoholics and cocaine peddlers in every community in Hawaii at that time.”
Wehrheim says Taylor Camp was generally full of positive people — and to describe them all as stoned hippies would be a misconception. There were those there specifically to surf. Others worked, like Diane Daniells, who lived at Taylor Camp while reportedly founding the first Montessori school on Kauai.

“There were a lot of people, as you’ll see in the film, that went on to do really solid good things in their communities,” he says. “Victor Schaub, the original guy who stood up in court and said, ‘We’ll take the 90 days,’ ended up not only a very successful attorney when he went back to California but he was mayor of Arcata, California, for 10 or 15 years.”
Though the Taylors were not involved with the camp after 1969, Howard did voice his opinions on the condemnation of his land and eviction of the people. “I feel there should be a place where people can go without needing permits,” Howard said in a 1971 Honolulu Star-Bulletin article. The land “should be open so fishermen can camp there — or anyone else. A lot of these people couldn’t stay anywhere else. No one will rent to them.”

The state eventually condemned Howard’s land and added it to its inventory to create the present-day Haena State Park . Notices to vacate were sent to all of the current Taylor Camp residents, and a lawsuit resulted. Representing 60 residents, the lawsuit contested the eviction, claiming they were eligible for relocation assistance. In the end, a judge ruled that anyone who moved to the camp after 1972, when the state condemnation process began, was a trespasser and not eligible for assistance. He ruled that the campers violated regulations because they had no permit for residential use on conservation-zoned land, even though they were never prosecuted for zoning or building there in the past. He also ruled that the Taylors’ hands-off approach didn’t mean permission was granted for them to live there. The last residents were evicted in 1977. State and county crews burned the houses down.

“I didn’t want Taylor Camp to close,” Alpin Noble told Wehrheim in his book. She was 3 years old when she arrived at the camp, one of the handful of kids who grew up there. “It was our home, where we lived, where all our friends were. When they torched the Camp, I was traumatized. One guy refused to leave and the police handcuffed his arms and legs and dragged him away yelling and screaming. Then they set the place on fire. “I always thought, ‘Yeah, we’re going to stay here forever. There’s no way they can move us out,’” she said. “I thought I was going to live in Taylor Camp forever.”

MILTON, Vt. (WCAX) - Vermont’s only nude resort is closing after nearly 60 years. As Calvin Cutler reports, former campers are remembering the good times.
Along the shores of Long Pond in Milton lies the Coventry Club, a 46-acre campground where people from across the world swap swimsuits for birthday suits.
“Our second day here, we fell in love with the place and the people. It’s a big family, you can’t find anyone better,” said Gentle Bear, who along with countless other campers has celebrated the nude way of life.
We visited and spoke with the owners back in 2017. Coventry bills itself as a family-oriented naturist club and campground, providing a fun and safe environment. Around 100 people would visit every year, embracing the great outdoors and body acceptance. Gentle Bear has spent the last five summers there. “We come in May and we leave in October. This is the end of it,” he said
In a letter to members posted earlier this month, the owners announced the sale of the campground, looking forward to retirement. They tried to find a buyer to keep Coventry as a nude resort. Instead, the land will now be sold to a family.
“This is the only place like this in the Northeast and maybe in the U.S.,” said Mark Ozenich. He says Thanksgiving will mark 20 years since he first came to Coventry as a camper. He lives there year-round but will now likely have to leave Vermont. “Housing in Vermont is Vermont and housing for a senior citizen is even scarcer, so it leaves me scrambling for a place to live.”
The state of Vermont is a unique place when it comes to nudism. It’s fully legal to be naked in public but it’s illegal to disrobe in public. Statewide, there are several nude beaches and events including the annual Montpelier Naked Bike Ride.
“I would say it’s a natural way of being,” said Erich Schuttauf with the American Association for Nude Recreation. He says spending time outdoors au naturel goes back hundreds of years to America’s founding. “We all carry scars, we all carry a few pounds that we could use -- most of us. Once you realize people are people, it is a very freeing experience.”
Back in Milton, there has been an outpouring of support from former campers young and old, saying Coventry gave them the space to live their best lives and be free.
