Okuma

Has anyone out there been to okuma? How is it? What is your opinion on the place? Has anyone been to the JAL Okuma pricate resort? What did you think about that?

I like it to go and party. i am single so it is ok. You need to have a few people there to have a great time. If you have a family it is a good environment for them tons of things to go in the water for them.

It's fun but it becomes a sausage fest really quick. Seriously! I was there about two weeks ago with my wife and 4 of her girl friends and a buddy of mine. We were in the bar at night and we were the only ones there. Then 3 marine guys came in, and of course instantly started hitting on all of them. Then they must have called in the reserve because about 20 more dudes came to the bar. We went back with them to their camp site and it looked like a bomb had went off. People laying on the ground, other dudes peeing on him, garbage everywhere, and tents knocked over.

But yeah if you stay in the family campground it's not bad.

Yeah, been up there. Have some good pics from up there too. Be prepared for roaches though. They have a double Murphy bed and these ridiculously small chairs that are "hide-a-beds" barely wide enough for an average sized kid to lay on......unless they got enough complaints to change them.

Not stayed in the JAL facility but had meetings over there and we really enjoyed their establishment. Clean & nice, so I would think it was likely a pretty nice place to stay. Though if you wanna be partying an hangin out I would say go for the military side.

So it seems like okuma is a nigh spotnot just a daytime gathering place.

On the weekends it can be a nightspot, thats why they have two separate camping grounds. I almost stayed in the single people's campsite, I was glad I didn't. Way too many drunk assholes.

some people i work with finally got me to go to okuma, never again. it seemed like every turn i made i was breaking some rule or someone was being a dumbass. i was sitting on the beach at like 11 pm enjoying the silence when all of a sudden 5, im not kidding, 5 cops came over the hill shining lights in my face asking what i was doing on the beach.....umm sitting? i was then informed i was not allowed on the beach after it got dark. screw okuma!
when i want to get away on the weekend the last place i want to go is another bullshit military establishment.

on a pos note tho, if you want to "feel" like your camping and your looking for the all american getaway then okumas your place and please go, that way all the good spots on okinawa wont be crowded

Wow you can't be on the beach at okuma at night? Shit I love going on the beach at night with my flashlight, looking for kani to catch!

Matter of fact that is what me and my wife were doing once I proposed to her. Sitting on the beach after playing with the kani.

lol yes it was at okuma, but on the beach! Sorry we wanted to go stay up north for a weekend and that was where she wanted to go. We really didn't go to okuma, really just used one of their rooms as a base of operations for a nice sightseeing weekend.
