What are your favorite places to camp on the Big Island of Hawaii?




SNOW BIRD





Answer
Just a reminder that the east-facing side of any island in Hawaii is always gets the rain and the west side (leeward) is windier. And crime still exists even in paradise so stay with someone and near public places and do not explore unfamiliar places at night. Also leaving valuables in a car in quiet areas like camps sites is an invitation that will be taken.
You will love the variety of insects (mosquitos) and lizardsâ¦.theyâre everywhere. You will need to get a permit in order to camp, the good news is that itâs free. You will have to pay something for staying at the campsite just like in mainland USA.
This is the permit application location: DLNR website
Oahu State Parks are the best, (All have restrooms and showers):
1-Malaekahana Beach Park (west side) Beach is clean and really awesome! Excellent beach, with available beach houses and campsites.
2-Sand Island State Recreation area (weekend only). Itâs on Sand Island in Honolulu. Fantastic view of Honolulu. You can stay here to check out the rest of Honolulu. But it is only a small beach.
3-Kahana Valley State Park (also west side). Known as a good bodysurfing beach and it has a fishpond!
enjoy!

Camping in Hawaii?




MileHigh!


Any one know of some good camping in Hawaii? What time of the year would be favorable weather for camping in Hawaii?


Answer
Our weather is pretty decent year round, but it rains more between December & March. I like Malaekahana a lot for camping. If you have military connections, Bellows is a great place too.
