Taylor Camp, Tucked Away In The Hawaiian Jungle However, one community, known as Taylor Camp, managed to pull together a group of like-minded people and create a thriving environment that operated without rules, weird religious doctrine, or a maniacal dictator dressed in hippie robes.
Unfortunately, many communal living situations started as idyllic utopias but ended in a mess of corruption, scandal, and sometimes even murder. If there’s one thing that captures the alternative culture of the 1960s and 1970s, it’s communal living. After a beef with the Hawaiian government, Howard Taylor allowed 13 hippies to move into his beachfront property to live rent free-and they built a tree house paradise.
