Taylor Camp was a small settlement established in the spring of 1969 on the island of Kauai, Hawaii; it covered an area of 7 acres and at its peak it had a population of 120.[1] It began with thirteen hippies seeking refuge from the ongoing campus riots and police brutality in the United States.[2] 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.[3]
