"In the spring of 1969, every kid’s Tarzan and Jane dream of tree houses on a tropical beach came true at Kaua‘i’s Taylor Camp when Howard Taylor, brother of actress Elizabeth, bailed out a rag-tag band of 13 young Mainland hippies jailed for vagrancy and then invited them to camp on his oceanfront land, a news release states.
The previous year, right after purchasing the property, Howard learned of the government’s plan to condemn the land for a park, ending the Taylors’ dream of building a family compound on the 7-acre site.
So in an act of both compassion for the jailed hippies, and subtle revenge against the government for frustrating his plans, Howard informally established Taylor Camp. Soon after, he stepped back and left the campers to their own devices — without rules, restrictions or guidelines."
