Taylor Camp

Taylor Camp was a small settlement established in the spring of 1969 on the island of Kauaʻi, Hawaii. It covered an area of seven acres (2.8 ha) and at its peak it had a population of 120. It began with thirteen hippies seeking refuge from the ongoing campus riots and police brutality in the United States. They were arrested for vagrancy but Howard Taylor, brother of movie star Elizabeth, bailed them out of jail and invited them to settle on a beachfront property he owned. Eduardo Malapit prosecuted the original Taylor campers; later as mayor, he campaigned to shut down the camp.
